    My mate funded her nursing degree, by flogging 'genuine nurses knickers', I used to take her to a wholesalers in manchester and bought them for 19p each, plus the cost of a sandwich bag "to keep in the freshness" and a jiffy and she made a decent profit on each sale, and even had some regulars who asked for special requests ewwww I wont elaborate.
