Selling smelly shoes to fetish people?

[ChocolateWillies]

I didn't know where to put this so I put it in chat.

I've obviously namechanged.

A couple of weeks ago I posted something on Twitter about still wearing a pair of 20-year old shoes. Today a man (I assume) had DMed me. I looked into the account and the tweets are a bit seedy but not problematic. I think he's a 'submissive' and has a few interactions calling women 'mistress'. He also has a few others where he'll comment on a woman's post about shoes basically saying along the lines of 'I'll pay £50 for your shoes. Can I DM you'.

I'm hard-up ATM, I could do with extra cash.

You know where this is going....

Has anyone had experience of selling their old shoes to people with a fetish? I've read a couple of articles but I could do with a conversation about this. I remember a thread a few years ago on this but I can't find it now.

I could really do with the money from this but feel a bit weird.

You're selling yourself very, very, very cheaply there for £20 a pop 😉

I have my own website.
You can google and find sites to meet your selling requirements. The fetish world goes way beyond shoes.

I don't sell any of my children's stuff for this purpose. For me, that crosses a huge line, think about the type of adult who would want to buy these things. Even those into adult baby play go for adult-size versions of things. Of course, there are some who don't and I don't want to be knowingly encouraging this.

Their clothes I sell through more conventional ways, donate or give to friends. Their old shoes I don't sell because I believe that children need well-fitted shoes for development. And when I have tried someone else worn shoe on, it's moulded to their foot so doesn't feel right. As adults, we are free to do as we please.

I know right, someone involved in such an industry having standards 😂 But it's why I advise people to look into for themselves. My boundaries are different from yours. And you need to be clear and absolutely certain you will not be tempted. Because once you drop even a small part of a boundary, it can quickly spiral as you think ah that wasn't so bad. Wonder what... is like. Because there is a very large sinister side to it.

With the fetish world, you have those that are into fetishes for all the right reasons.

Then you have those who are there for the very bad side of things. Things that you could never, ever, ever in a million years imagine that someone could have a fetish for. Sometimes that is the fetish, your reaction. Regardless of what you sell/buy/participate in they will find you and make contact. And it's only when you start reading or hearing those words that you realise. They are convincing bastards that give you enough innocent info to get your interest, then boom. Now you see it in their light and that is hard to unread/unhear.

Yes, of course, it's fab as I get on with my day wearing a pair of stockings or whatever, shoes and knickers that I would need to anyway. Even better when I haven't had to pay for them in the beginning. The money cannot complain. But just think not everyone is as nice as Tom from number 32.

Talking of Tom from 32. You have to consider how you would react if someone bought something from you, and when they send the postcode that's when you realise. It happens. It's how one of my friends became aware in the first place 🤣

is seriously thinking of selling my skanky shoes

@ffswhatnext Your insight is brilliant, thank you

I'm shuddering at what you're saying about some of the fetish worlds. I can only imagine.

Should I be concerned that this guy knows lots about me because he found me on Twitter? I mean my Twitter says where I work and I post pictures of my dog, it's not like I'm giving out deeply personal secrets on there.

Oh fuck, he's just messaged saying he'll pay £50.

That's loads isn't it? They're 20 years old and battered to fuck.

But I'm so attached to them

Yea it really is shuddering. I thought it needed highlighting as some may really may be considering this.

£50. Only you can really decide if you want to sell them. If you don't, it's fine honestly. He's seen something he likes and has asked if he can buy them. If you don't message him something like - I gave this some real consideration, unfortunately, I am going to decline.

If he's one of the decent ones. Awesome. He will probably ask you to let him know in future if you have any more to sell. Or just leave thanks,

If he makes a deal about it. Starts getting into a bidding thing. Don't let him push you. Reply if you must and tell him no. Or just block him. He's not someone you want to do business with.

I'm not saying they are all like this. Far from it. I would have gone bust a long time ago.

Your own ID. This time just put it down to experience, learn from it and move on.
If you do decide however to start selling your smelly, battered shoes regardless of this pair or others.
Create a new 'identity' for your own sanity.
Email, social media, if you would ever give your number away, one just for this etc.

Tell the people you want to know about it. Although if you do live with a partner I would suggest they know. They will wonder what you are up to when he finds the spare phone. Or see you beeing very secretive with your phone lol. Or why the fuck is she still wearing that same crusty pair of socks a week later. Hang on where the fuck are all my boxers 🤣

@ffswhatnext That's such great advice, thank you!

I'll most definitely chalk this one up to experience. If I decide not to sell them, I'll let him know that I've got others available (fancying a clear out now!).

I'll have to tell DH for sure. We have a joint account so he'll wonder where these random £50s are appearing from otherwise

I'm going to have a think about whether or not to sell this particular pair to him. I'll keep you all updated

Not a problem. Happy that you found it of some use. Good luck whatever you decide to do.

And everyone loves an update. People often start threads with hey anyone know what happened about.

Came across someone selling knickers that were worn for 1 day for a £10 ( on Facebook for sale site of all places )

Hmmm .... I have some smelly slippers too ! Keep washing them but for some reason they don’t smell Great after a few months of use maybe I should stop running them through the wash and increase The value 😉

My post got deleted. Very sorry to anyone I upset with it. Honestly wasn't my intention just genuinely interested.

By the way, at what point do you start declaring this 'income' to the tax office??

Iirc correctly 12 weeks. But do check to be sure. It's a long time since I had to register.
And also look into some type of insurance. Don't depend on your carrier's insurance.

I once worked with someone who sold her used knickers online.

It got her out of a serious financial hole for a bit.

her abusive fucker of an ex found out though and went to town on her.

personally I will draw the line at knickers, but am intrigued by shoes!

@ffswhatnext Are those seller sites such as panty deal any good to sell from? Also asking for a friend...

I have never used it personally. From what I've heard like any selling site. Some will love some will hate.
But places with a subscription fee I won't join.
Yes, there are going to be costs, sub fees are really not needed. They make money for basically nothing. This is one of we will let you join if we want.

Some sites do have free membership and just get charged for certain parts.

Make sure you research reviews of websites you are thinking about. If they are free to join, nothing to stop you looking around. Member fee to join hit the back button.

Reddit can also be very useful.

I once got asked to sell underwear I had worn when I was a student living in the UK. As you did, I found it weird but thought, "it's £50 for cheap knickers I wore one day, what can go wrong"?

And nothing really went wrong, the man was polite, paid before I sent him the "parcel" and I got £50 for knickers I had paid £5 for originally.

The problem was, when he asked for the next pair, he wondered whether it was possible to wear them for longer than one day. "How long?", I asked, curious. "A week, two weeks, it would be better if you did not shower or bathed in between. And if this is not too gross for you, I would love it if you went to the toilet and did not wipe while you're wearing them".

That was the end of my online panty-selling business. I did not answer his email, and never got any more messages from him, but I felt my skin crawl for days afterwards. Made me feel very grateful for my normal, boring life and wonder how many more shocking things will be happening in that side of the human mind I had just accidentally touched on.

I desperately want to get into this. I have great feet and have done some ‘foot/shoe modelling’ in the past.

I sold some old sandals years ago, good condition etc and they were all bought by the same bloke. Maybe his gf is also a size 4.

Well I have listed a couple of pairs of ebay. I have had strange messages already since last night asking if they smell, if they can worship my feet and another who wants to come round and put my feet in his mouth without his wife knowing I blank every message there's no need to speak with them I don't think. But yes very interesting what some men seem to like

I have thought of doing this for extra cash because I'm so broke, but hate the idea of being wank fodder. I am torn on it.

Omg some men are so sick

@DaveMyHat I'm in a very bad financial mess I need the extra income for my children for Christmas so just put it to the back of your mind and ignore the weird messages you get and go for it!

Wonder if there's a market for worn dressing gowns

Wow, £50. I'd be tempted! I have some old Clarks shoes that I used to walk in for 12.5hr hospital shifts 🤔

Does the type of shoe matter? Is there a bigger market for worn heels for example? And they want the shoes to smell bad?
