    perhaps the person selling it is a young single mother whose just lost her job and so is in desperate need of money to feed her child? would you still judge her then?

    I'm skint, I think I'll sell my bed...?!

    I'm sure if that were the case, she could sell other things rather than a manky bed.

    I'd suggest she knocks her internet connection in the head and saves that money instead. ;)

    No idea why the used shoes would be washed prior to sending...i thought thats what these freaks got a kick out of the smell...if she can get £16 for a 4 quid pair of primark pumps..now where did i leave my trashed shoes..

    that 'bed' is disgusting

    Because they get around the Ebay rules by stating item will be washed when they have no intention of washing it ;)

  • If it was Tracey Emin's it would be worth a fair bit (unjustifiably in my opinion) but that is just disgusting...

    I've sent the link to hubby. He writes for a blog about mad or broken stuff like this on ebay. He said it's not the first dirty mattress post he's done!

    YUK. That is just vile.

    I doubt anyone who buys that would be getting a decent nights sleep in it. It needs to go straight to the tip.

    EUWWWW! Thats gross!!

    With the shoes thing, I've just bought a new pair of work shoes. Wonder if the 'niche market' on ebay would be interested in a pair of stinky, broken down men's Kickers that have been covered in various bodily fluids on a regular basis :whistle:
