To think I could make money selling my battered old shoes - to foot fetishers

Hmm, I wonder how much pent-up demand there really is for this? meglet makes a good point about why the fetishist might do this, but it looks like a buyer's market! I restricted my "worn shoes" search to completed listings, and the most recent ones were all trying to appear new, rather than "trashed" (that is, I couldn't find any sales which are only attributable to foot fetishism).

I wonder how much eBay makes on listing fees for unsold items in categories like (unwitting) fetish gear?

Damn, I got rid of a lot of pairs of sexy high heels a while - if only I'd thought of this then I could've made money out of them!

X-posted!

perhaps I ought to have searched for "well worn" or "trashed" shoes? Off to check...

Aha! "Trashed" is the key word! As is having a picture of the shoes being worn.

There's worse, there's a market for old, used pants.

Ha! I found these exact shoes when I was browsing through ebay a few days ago. Then I got curious and found there's quite the market for 'well worn shoes', most women take a picture of their feet in said shoes some of which are quite suggestive iykwim so must be a fetish thing.

I tried justifying it at first thinking some people might prefer worn in shoes because new ones rub their feet. I know my feet are generally horrid with new shoes so I'd quite like someone to wear them in a bit for me first . But no, no one would spend £10 on shoes that are literally falling apart unless there's something more to it...

I have been reliably informed that as a goth chick with size 9 feet, my knackered old boots could be a bloody goldmine....

I am slightly put off by the fact that I have a good mate who spends worrying amounts of time scouring ebay for weirdness & posting her finds on FB. She'd be bound to find out what I was up to & that would be highly embarrassing!

Nurses' shoes do well too, apparently.

Oooh, I have lots of my old, worn nurses shoes.

I'm seriously considering the drawerful of used, rather nice underwear I can't fit into don't want any more.

Do the pants also have to be photographed... er... in situ? What's the convention?

I am a size 7 - maybe that is large enough to attract the right kind of buyer ahem.

I'm a skint writer and am seriously considering writing porn about sock fetishes to sell on kindle.

I sell all my old shoes on Ebay. People some men pay a fortune for them because I take an 8 big feet

I recently got rid of quite a few peep toes/high heels/sling-backs etc. from my party girls days and made a mint.

Men wearing womens' shoes is huge right now.

I sell my boyfriends snickers work pants on eBay , they are well used covered in silicone and totally wrecked , they usually sell ok.
It goes towards the cost of new ones ??

I am only a size 3 do you think it is worth putting mine on EBay?

Uggghh, she even advertising the fact that they have got huge holes in the soles, what use would that be...oh no wait a minute

Do you really want these people to have your name, address and phone number? if so go ahead and sell your old shoes.

A friend of a friend did this, apparently she stumbled on to it through non kinky listings of her old shoes. I think the buyers were looking for contacts and live action follow up though!

If only someone was into used cat litter - my god I'd be minted within a month!

...actually scratch that - I really don't want to know if such person/s exist [boak]

You cant get a buyer for pretty much anything if you look in the right places.

I have an "acquaintance" who makes a tidy profit from selling cheap primark knickers with a smearing of egg whites in the gusset.

There's also someone selling used running leggings. Her listings tend to have a certain style

I recently searched for some M+S socks....and come across the Fetish stuff...They are usually soiled socks with a pointy toes inward pose

But has anyone looked at the 'sold' listings from the OPs original post? The person selling the manky shoes has also sold a couple of empty Doritos bags! WTF?

If I didn't have 'normal' people following me on ebay, I'd have some fun I think, but I have repeat customers so I'd just be too embarrassed! Tempting though...

Apparently used hair bobbles are an easy couple of £ too

Tinlizzie there are other sites better suited to selling items for 'alternative' purposes if you wanted to.
