Get those old Smelly Shoes out of the cupboard!!

:o Just a quick note if you are looking to make some extra cash, but you do need some smelly shoes!! Well, it worked for me anyway!!

Here goes......... A few months ago, i was chatting to my sisters partner and he was saying that a girl in his work sells old smelly used shoes on ebay. I couldn't believe it, so i went on the site and had a look. I typed in smelly, and to my surprise there were smelly shoes listed. They are marketed towards the fetish people i think!! So i had a hunt around and did have a pair of smelly shoes from next. I bought them in the sale at the beginning of the year for £15.00. As a bouns i threw in a pair of manky slippers as well, i waited and waited for the end of the auction to come, seven days later i got £25.00 for both pairs!! I didn't even pay that much for the shoes in the beginning (and even the slippers were about £2.00 in matalan)!! I would warn you though, be prepaired for some strange email requests!!

Happy selling, any questions just ask!!

  • I know, you have to word it carefully, they will take off anything that is dodgy/seedy, but if you word it quite well you can get away with it.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: have heard of this before on another forum also one woman was selling underwear she modelled the actual pair she would mail out as you can imagine she was making a roaring trade before ebay were informed.

    There's a website called ebanned.net for 'unsavoury' items such as this which contravene eBay's selling policy. Ahem.
