" Well Worn Shoes "?

tsharp

From reading some of the text in the listings, I seriously think some of them are actually selling worn knickers. 'Surprises' in the shoes/boots is suspicious, but then again, like li'lp suggests above, who cares, they can do what they want, it's ebay who is supressing the sales of this stuff.

But then again i don't want to go thru the embarassing/amusing routine of buying/finding an old pair of shoes/boots, listing them, selling them and then have a disgruntled customer complaining about not recieving 'something else'.

I wondered what the suprise was too...

Have already done this ...bought 5 pairs yesterday . Mum & I had such a giggle knowing what we were doing.

I don't know whether we were more embarrassed for showing so much enthusiam for worn shoes, or the fact that the stall holder was actually selling them :rotfl:

Well don't keep me / us in suspense any longer - have you listed them yet? I got an email today saying its 10p listing day this Thursday, so might be worth holding off and putting them on a Buy It Now on Thursday. Come to think of it has anyone else listed their manky, well worn shoes? Anyone???

As for my well loved slippers, 2 watchers, 135 viewers, but alas no bids in the 24 hours since I listed them after reading this thread. Looks like I might be keeping them for a while longer yet - not that I'm disappointed. Wonder if it's due to not including a surprise with them?
:eek::eek::eek: Like erm toe nail clippings???? :eek::eek::eek: Eugh Shudder at the thought!!!!!:eek::eek::eek:

I wonder how many of the viewers are MSErs and if anyone will own up to being a 'watcher'

OMG, this is making me laugh, I sold a pair of ladies size eight boots (for £45.00) to a man on Ebay. It was all he had bought, loads of pairs of size eight ladies footwear.


I suppose Ebay makes it easier for people to purchase their ' special items' annoymously doesn't it? I could not sell battered shoes or underwear though.

I wondered that too................................;)

11pmish and still no bids - but up to 140 views - I know I'm sad, but it's the first thing I've ever tried to sell.

Now come on who else is selling their stuff, surely it can't just be me - please own up!

I bit the bullet and listed just one pair from my collection

27 visits and 2 watchers as I write:cool:

Wonder if it's the same 2 watchers as cheekyweegit?

And no there will be no special gifts included

The number of well worn shoes listed has increased beyond belief since I started this thread, so I reckon all the 'nicer' sellers are MSErs

Did anyone look at this link? He's the one who had all the hilarious Q+A's in the want it now section

I bet he's pleading with his mistress to allow him to buy some more:rotfl:
