    would a pair that had been worn for a week go for more than a pair worn only for one day? I may have to stop bathing:rotfl:

    Dunno! Perhaps we should start a poll? :rotfl:

    Why not?! You might be missing the point though. A lot of people are very reserved about things sex/sexual related hence why they prefer to buy online or mail order as they're not having to deal face to face.

    i want to start buying wholesale `adult toys` and selling them on but i dont think ebay will let me sell them :confused:

    is there a site that will allow me to sell these `ebay style`??

    thanks

    eBay will close your account as fast as you like for flogging sex toys :(
    So ... once you get your first warning, ditch the account and open another :)


    ebid and qxl both have adult sections, although traffic isnt nearly as high as eBay

    im thinking not but anyone have any experience in this?

    A lot of folk are embarrassed to buy sex toys, so the chances of many people buying the latest 8inch real feel multi speed dong off a wallpaper table in the middle of field is umm - limited :)

    Hi all,

    Yes, all joking aside and to talk business for a sec, snooze control is spot on in that people don’t really want to buy this sort of thing 'face to face' - ok, not in every case, as the old A Summers shops show, but I would think in the 'majority' of cases.

    Therefore, a web based system does offer a lot of potential but the competition is very stiff (im sure there's a pun in there somewhere!)

    As in all things, it comes down to advertising, and this can cost serious money. An add in a sunday paper for example, or even one of these lads type mags you get nowadays - try and find out the costs and see if its an option.

    If you can’t afford this type of advertising, then I would say you are wasting your time and money getting the products.

    Getting things wholesale is very easy, but the tricky bit is bringing it to the market.

    But, that said, you've got to be in it to win it, so might be worth going for, just don’t run up debts doing so !!!!

    Keep posting - Ill probably be your number one customer!

    All the best

  • Not that I have any firsthand experience you understand, but I do happen to know that women's soiled underwear sells particularly well (dunno why :confused: ) and if you can accompany said item with pics of a female wearing them or even better, a video, you will make an absolute mint.

    In fact, the profits are that attractive that it had crossed my mind to buy some ladies lingerie myself, wear it for a couple of days to get the "soiled effect" :p , nick some pics off the net of some chick wearing similar and then sell the lot! :D I'm just too worried that I might actually enjoy wearing them :eek: and turn into some bizarre panty fetish freak!

    Maybe one of you guys could try it out and let me know if it's a winner! :rotfl:

    Scarlet magazine did just that a few months ago!

    They used ebare.co.uk and put 5 items up for auction. The worn knickers went for a buy-out (same as BIN) price of £6.99.

    From the article:
    "According to one eBare aficionado who wised to remain nameless, enticing photos and vivid descriptions can help make a sale. She advises taking tips from the M&S marketing: 'Say 'these are not just knickers, these are a pair of dirty, soaking wet, heavily-scented knickers smothered in my womanly aroma for your pleasure.' Or to put it another way, the filthier the up-sell, the more money the item will go for."

    October 2006 issue, if anyone wants to read the full article!!

    Hi, I was wondering if perhaps some of the gals on here could give their prospective:

    Not to sound sexist, but most of the Adult related items for sale on these sites seem to be aimed at the male market, do you think toys aimed at women would sell well?

    I admit it, I'm too embarrassed to ask a girl face to face. :)
