TBH I would be put off by the photo of somebody wearing them. I know they are listed as being worn, but I just wouldn't want to actually see them being worn IYSWIM.
I would mention the brand.

They are hideous too and quite unfashionable at the mo.
Sorry.

i'm a bit tired and read that as boobs!!! blush

i dont like the boots but i can see that they would appeal to some.

maybe lower the start price?

glad its not pics of your boobs though grin
That's what I was thinking Mspontipine.
I'm a size 8 - but wouldn't bid as I'd assume they are supermarket plastic boots which probably only cost £15 new....

Probably completely wrong, but there's so little info in the listing I don't think I'd be tempted.
I think they look nice but I'm not an 8. Are they a mentionworthy brand? Are they leather?

It's not the size, I've sold quite a few things in size 8/42 and they go really well. It's the boots tbh, they're not that nice. Also I think people search by brand, so unbranded stuff will get far fewer hits. I sold a pair of DUO boots worn only a few times for £50 a couple of weeks ago.

Also I tend to start at 0.99, I think overall you get more interest and a better final price, plus you don't pay listing fees.
o bless you! grin

They are minging new let alone second hand. You was robbed.

Size 8 is too small for trannies and too big for most women - that could be an issue.

I had some boots I thought were lovely. DH hid them and I asked why and he told me they were vile. I asked a few friends and they confirmed they assumed I had been given them and were wearing them out of guilt or something blush

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
