Worse still is, it's apparently some kind of messed up fetish - and he's actually sold some of these.
It gets even weirder. He's apparently had his listing removed by E-Bay and states these horrible socks will be washed to E-Bay standards. So he's either lying, or selling items that are not as described. Hopefully one of these two will get the items taken down again. Just when I thought E-Bay couldn't creep me out any more.

Check out the 'Well Worn Shoes' thread. It's an eye opener!
(By the way, is it just coincidence that your id is PopeSock. :eek:)0 -

The joke's on him-
1) No one will buy them
2) He's paying extra for buy it now option
3) He's paying extra for having extra pictures
4) He's paying extra for having his starting price > 99p
The man is about £3 out of pocket, that's justice enough for what he put me through0 -

Yes, it's coincidence. It's a reference to an unrelated but equally horrifying story from the internet. This listing was actually going to be my entry into the Sci-Fi 'item no-one would buy on e-bay' competition but when I checked and found that people actually had bought it, that went out of the window.
EDIT: Actually, now I think about it, it's probably more horrifying than this. But only just.jasmineswhiskers wrote: »My mind's working overtime! :rotfl:

Someone probably will buy them! Its a gay fetish thing.
Womens "well worns" are even more popular

and as you can see from all the listing feedback (all the private ones), it must be quite a little earner!

Perhaps the most worrying is his 100% feedback and comments stating 'item exactly as described" :-)0

This guy goes through a fair amount of womens clothes :-) I can not believe there are five bids on a pair of second hand knee length socks.
Perhaps it is time for a cull of the human race, there are some sick puppies out there.0
