    It's a fetish thing - plenty of buyers for that kinky stuff.

    Doesn't do anything for me, mind!

    CHECK THE COMPLETED LISTINGS, shush, sorry bad caps. THERE'S A THREAD ON THESE TYPE OF LISTINGS and again, sorry. One girl from Belarus is selling her socks for shed loads of money.

    There's lots of money to be made from this type of listing but, and a big but, it's probably not just the used clothing the buyer is receiving. I have a feeling there's lots of communication going on aswell and plus the buyer will know your contact details. Imagine one turning up on your doorstep requesting you to model the item in private!!
    I must remember that "Money Saving" is not buying heavily discounted items that I do not need. :hello:

    Gay/Scally items have a huge following on ebay. A mate of mine sells loads of his old shorts and footie tops on there. He gets some strange requests - asking if they can be worn for a week and made "a bit sweaty". Or erm "customised" - with man gunk.

    Oh no - just torn a pair of OH's old boxer shorts up because they had a hole in a place they shouldn't (ahem) - could have made a fortune - off to bin now to retrieve from under the lamb chop bones :D

    With these kinds of listings the sellers usually provide an email address or even a mobile telephone number and say something like 'if you have any requests then contact me at [EMAIL="sexylouise@yahoo.co.uk"]sexy louise at yahoo etc[/EMAIL] (as per the first link that you posted).

    Call girls and boys used to put their cards in telephone booths - but now they are on Ebay.

    My old Mum was looking for a nice wool coat the other day and one particular seller had a good range of vintage ones (that my Mum recognised from the first time round). She was a bit puzzled to see the seller modelling the coats in bra, suspenders and stockings. When you look at the seller's pages and pages of clothes you get the feeling she might just be an exhibitionist who likes feedback comments on her 'About Me' pages. Her coats aren't priced to sell although she does provide her email (Amazing Maggie at something or other etc)

    Here she is: Shrinking Violet or what?
