To be considering selling well worn stockings and tights on Ebay?

It seems a very easy way to make a few quid.

I could wear them under my jeans all day while looking after DC and then sell them on Ebay for a fiver.

Seems to be a bit of a market for such things.

No, I am going to have a good look through the shoe baskets tomorrow for lovely skanky shoes to sell on there Grin

I may even work out how to beat some egg whites just in case!

:o ten out of ten for enterprise.

Hmmm... I may steal your idea! Best keep quiet or you'll flood the market, prices will crash!

I reckon you are entering a whole new world when you start doing that. I considered it, but then decided against it. Don't forget that they get your email address for starters.

AgentZigzag · 10/10/2010 23:02

I've got some right manky kegs, do you think they'd sell?

DiscoSquish · 10/10/2010 23:02

A throwaway email address will be used here lol

Will have to think of a slightly suggestive name for my new bussiness

Use a proxy server and "hide my IP".

Good for you "Dave" said "go and start you own small business, you will be part of the "Big Society"

How do I use a proxy server?

Type "peerblock" into google and download.

Type "free hide" or maybe "freehide" into google, and download. anyone trying to trace your ip address will find a false one.

These are both free programmes although freehide has a pay for version but the free one is good enough

Also handy for "ahem" downloading.

A thread done the rounds quite a while back when someone found an auction for a pair of well worn pumps on ebay.

They sold for about £220.

I personally would rather drink piss than have some perv wank over my soiled smalls, but hey, each to their own Wink !!

DiscoSquish · 10/10/2010 23:29

But you won't know what the perv is doing with your old undies and they could just as easily be nicked out of your bin if you throw them.

If someone wants to give me £200 for my old knickers I'm more than happy, I'll even throw the egg white in for free Grin

ThighsWideShut · 10/10/2010 23:34

But I'd know that they were jizzing all over them!

newwave · 10/10/2010 23:38

Yes but you woudnt still be wearing them would you. :)

ThighsWideShut · 10/10/2010 23:42

Call me old fashion...

newwave · 10/10/2010 23:44

Money for old rope or old underwear anyway :)

Strange as it must seem there is a genuine market for that stuff.

Remember me when you are minted :o

AnyFuleKno · 10/10/2010 23:58
