" Well Worn Shoes "? 9 March 2007 at 1:45PM in Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels 605 replies 113.8K views

I thought I'd sell a pair of slippers on ebay, more for unusual content (Penguins) than for wearing.

On searching "Womens footwear" it appears that items which are "well worn" get lots of bids, especially if worn by well travelled air hostesses !!!!

Yes, I know I'm a bit old and thought for years that personal ads that mentioned water sports meant surfing or paragliding !

I can accept, if not necessarily understand that there are folks with strange fetishes, but the hidden meaning in these adds has prompted me to ask the more knowledgeable among you for a clue.

If someone out there can stop me making a fool of myself if I advertise my "worn" slippers I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in anticipation

LOL - I once sold a pair of Matalan Kitten Heels (only worn a couple of times) for probably more than they cost originally. The address details was to some bloke (I thought it was probably his OH using his account). Hmmm - maybe not (they were size 8's)!
