    Can't believe this, been chucking away my well worn ballet pumps when I could have sold them for some good money, lol.
    Well, will be trying this soon and see if mine fetch some money.

    wench - my stilletos didnt sell as well as my ballet pumps! i had tons of those £4 cheapies from primark that wear thru sooooo quickly, and they sold for around the £20 mark!! woohoo!
    had a money making plan, but have never got round to it.... thought about hitting the charidee shops for the 2nd hand shoes.....they are sold for around £3? so that sounds like an easy profit me thinks! lol

    Yea, I look in charity shops too, I must be one of the few people who put shoes back because they look too good :rotfl::rotfl:

    I always wear Primark cheap flats anyway. What sorta condition do the overall shoes need to be in? Just asking because mine have kinda split on the one shoe, on the front, the black sole has slightly come away from the front if you get what I mean? Would they be ignored on ebay?

    In that condition I would list them as trashed & well worn. Show the damage, show the insides.
    You'd be surprised what interest you'll get.

    my sentiments exactly!!
    Mind you i got some really weeeeerrd emails about "crushing" - ahem..... Have i ever stood on bugs????!! dear god, where do these people live! lol and I had one guy who wanted me to take a foot/shoe diary and send him photos every day! thought that would be a great wee earner but it didnt come to anything!
    ooh, and if you are going to be sending, the buyers usually want a sealed plastic bag to "retain the scent" rofl! nice ;)
