    Just for fun I'll put on the "trashed" plimsoles I'm wearing just now. Need to see this to believe this.

    You'd get more for knickers so I am led to believe.



    Bet that's how Tom Jones got rich.....A room full of knicker throwers could earn you a fortune.

    "weel worn trashed pumps" current bid 101.50, 16 bids. Really? Nothing sinister in the page. Might get some old shoes out of my cupboard but might leave out the return address, lol



    Haha found them......accompanied with a profile picture of the naked (strategically covered) seller....:rotfl:

    Seems like there would be people out there to exploit with this.

    Might do some market research and open a new eBay account with a more feminine sounding name.

    Getting a bit grossed out now. Had two replies to my shoe ad (the ones I wore last night and put onto ebay for a joke) too ask what the condition was. Not sure wether just to go for it if it makes me money or if it is just weird or me taking the mick out of people. What do you think?

    Personally I think if you can make money this way then good luck. However, the winner will have access to your contact details. I am not saying because you have this fetish you are crazy but I would be worried about them contacting me directly to ask for more things or even turning up at my house.

    There are a lot of better ways to make money...

    I put some well worn socks on Ebay, ones I was otherwise going to throw out. Sold a couple of pairs and lots of compliments about my feet! However decided that the strangeness of some of the messages wasn't compensated by the sale prices so probably won't bother again.

    Depending upon user wanting to actually wear them or they have a fetish, Ie: wearing them sell at a rate that your happy with but if it is a fetish then offer to wear them for a week without socks and take pictures to sell them on, Bet you'd get a decent amount offered then lol.
