    I have a little carrier bag of old shoes that I dug out when I was clearing the porch once, meant for the bin but it was full at the time, so I popped it in the porch cupboard to put out once the bins had been emptied.

    Glad I'd forgotten all about them until the last few days from seeing this thread. My other half is refusing to let me sell them though as they are so tatty, but after seeing that £71, he can't very well still say No!! :o

    In all seriousness, there must be some serious foot fetishists around!

  • Hmmmm, I work as (male) cabin crew, and am planning on getting rid of my current shoes as they're so worn, there's now a hole in the sole... gives a nice breeze, mind! I wonder if I could start a bidding war between some rich old pervs... I think I may just give it a try, tbh.

    because it's hard to do that and show all of your pretty little foot in the stinky shoe at the same time.....:o

    Forget the smelly shoes - we can all make a fortune like this!!

    mind you, you'd think if it worked so well, she'd just do one herself, and then wouldn't need to bother with ebay any more...

    Regarding people selling stinky shoes on ebay.

    If someone is weird enough to buy these things, don't you worry about the fact that they will have your address?

    I would be concerned that if they took a particular liking to your shoes they may end up turning up stalking you!

    Or do buyers not get to see all of your address, I can't remember.
