Thing You Never Thought You Could Sell On Ebay (Take 2)

The reason it sold for over £50 is beacuse that's what people that are into it are willing to pay!! Look at sites such as Libidex, Breathless, Pretty Pervy, Vex clothing, Simon O and see the prices - people pay for fetish, because they have to (as the rest of society think we are 'perverts' and therefore aren't mainstream and therefore can't have the economies of scale such as Tesco etc).

A lot of people selling used footwear are doing it on a regular basis, so the 'always delivers' bit refers to a) a repeat purchase perhaps and b) delivers a good quality item in their eyes. A lot of people that are into smelly feet fetish etc, are, by 'normal' standards, a little strange in lots of ways, almost in an autistic way (and this isn't being mean to autistic people, my brother is autistic and I am borderline apparently) so have different ways of interacting and giving feedback.

If people are selling prostitution, believe me, they don't need to pay silly listing fees on Ebay, there are many many other ways to do it a hell of a lot cheaper with still the 'safety catches' you might think that going through Ebay offers (and no worries of Paypal charge backs).

Sorry if that comes across as a bit ranty, but I am sick to the back teeth of 'perverts' being seen as that - if someone wants to sniff shoes to get turned on or have a good time, who are they hurting? Why do we as society feel the need to have a go at them? And no, it's not a step away from Paedophilia - that is a totally and utterly different thing (I know a lot about fetish seeing as I've been into the scene for 10 years now ). Sorry, rant over

I cant remember all the details and i wouldnt go into it all on this board anyway,
but it was VERY clear what they were up too and what was really for sale,
wether as a bit of a ranty fetishist you want to believe me or not is entirely up to you, but we were sat here at the time and know what we read....

I have nothing against what turns people on (as long as its not kids, obviously, and im sorry but i didnt see anywhere that someone said it was a step away from peadophilia or *i* would have posted to tell them not to be so stupid!)
im pretty sure there are things my OH and I have done to each other that other people would frown on (prudes )
and while at the V festival one year we got asked by a completely random bloke if he could take a few pictures of our feet! I dont remember letting him... but i wasnt disgusted by it either,

people feel the need to comment, because thats what people do....
my mother STILL cant walk past someone with multi coloured hair without having to comment on it... so you can imagine how shocked people as small minded as she is would be that people want to sniff the trainers that most people would want burned!

and hey... if it floats your boat, some poor couple had to drink a full pint through my OHs socks when we were on holiday (urrrrrrrgh!)

It does prove anything will sell on ebay lol.

Reminds me I have a signed Atomic Kitten wall poster I won off their website a few years ago, It has the record labels details on the container and everything...must be able to get a few quid for that from a hardcore fan.

I have some Bon Jovi bits that I bought a few years ago off ebay myself which I could relist ..... I don't think I have looked at them since they arrived! Not sure I can part with my CD and video collection though, lol

I found a stash of old magazines at home once - Elle, Vogue that sort of thing from about 1995 - they all sold for about £2 each plus £2 postage! Who buys old magazines??? (well thank god someone does I say!)

I sold all my old VHS videos one year including Bon Jovi, Europe and Whitesnake :eek: I made enough to go on holiday with, friend tried to do the same 6 months later and hardly made a penny she had missed the boat - either that or her taste was well dodgy :cool:

I have a vinyl record signed - and I dont even have a record player to play it on, lol.

Put it on ebay and I will watch

I think in my ex husbands loft I have a couple of picture interview disks all my vinyls are there and it was probably more extensive than my CD collection. Maybe I should check it out when he is better
