OMG! £27.00 for a pair of socks !!!

Postie bought my goodie bag today ( really impressed as I only emailed my address on Monday evening!)
Here are the contents and the prices I have found for them online:
St Tropez complete tanning system = £72.50 :eek:
Tigi haircare products = £32.00 :eek:
2 x Jane Austen DVD's = £27.00
1 pair of cashmere socks = £27.00 :eek:
total value £158.50:j

I'm in shock, are there really people out there willing to pay £72.50 for a fake tan, £13.45 for hair conditioner or £27.00 for 1 pair of socks!
Hmmm, actually I'm not sure what to do with the socks, I don't think I'd feel comfortable wearing them (too scared I'd make a hole in them or something) and I'm certainly not giving them away as a pressie:rotfl:

    Well done :T

    It always amazes me what some people will pay for things.

    Maybe you could ebay them and spend the money on lots of normal socks!

    I'd just wear one sock at a time to make them last longer - well done lo_bush:D

    I've never sold anything on ebay before, is it pretty easy to do?
    If I'm going to start winning stuff like this then I may well have to look into it!

    I don't find it too difficult. There's probably a 'how to start selling on ebay' thread here somewhere on the ebay board which would be a good place to start.
