What have I stumbled across here?! I'm quite at all of this but strangely intrigued also

ILovePud · 19/02/2015 18:30

empty Doritos bags! hmm what's the betting that the listing made reference to her licking the packets out so now they're all wet, maybe doing it so enthusiastically that she made a large hole in the packet? Grin each to their own!

If you go to Japan, you can buy used knickers from vending machines. Horrifyingly, some of the women's pictures picture them in school uniform.

And the vending machines are in public places, stations etc...

Did anyone read about my gumtree experience...you be warned mntters....

SurlyCue · 19/02/2015 18:34

Japan seems to have a real thing for women and girls in school uniform.

Spadequeen · 19/02/2015 18:41

Don't think my size 5's would fetch much!

ILovePud · 19/02/2015 18:41

londonrach was that the one where you advertised your iron on gumtree and had some entitled and timewasting responses? I hope to goodness nobody was after the iron for anything dodgy Confused

pluCaChange · 19/02/2015 18:56

Extreme pubic ironing, no doubt. Wink

Greymalkin · 19/02/2015 18:59

Oh dear god!! Curiosity got the better of me.... I did some searching on eBay for completed listing for well worn shoes and slippers and you could make a mint...

Greymalkin · 19/02/2015 19:03

Jesus, a 'well enjoyed used empty Boost bar OMG lovely' sold for £50!

stiffstink · 19/02/2015 19:11

I have done this! Size 8s are perfect. Gave up after the pervs kept pestering for more and more weird shit.

Just heading out but will post tomorrow about the bizarre demands! PS the moneysavingexpert website forum had the sugfestion to try it and me & DSis figured we would save shoes from landfill! Even our mum donated for the pervs! :-)

MoonlightandMusic · 19/02/2015 21:14

Might manage the shoes, but the knickerless tights? Hmm

pharoahinthebath · 19/02/2015 21:19

reminds me of an old friend who would buy ladies pants, smear the sunflower oil from cans of tuna in them and sell them. sorry prob tmi

maggiethemagpie · 19/02/2015 21:58

Reminds me of when I sold a used bra on ebay, it was a genuine sale as only worn a few times, and a good make, but I think I sold it to a perv. His ebay name as 'oldsmellie'

londonrach · 19/02/2015 22:00

Nope iron was given away free (horrible experience i remember but went to lovely lady fir a son starting uni in the end) but yes around the same time as the thomas the tank engine toys. Good memory! Not done gumtree since...

Charlesroi · 19/02/2015 22:38

I can't make anything smutty from an old Boost bar wrapper. Isn't it just good old-fashioned money laundering?

BirdingWidow · 19/02/2015 22:50

I posted on a diet thread on here a year or two back that I had lost some weight and bought new bras in a smaller cup size - down to a K (happy days!) and I was PM'd by a 'mumsnetter' asking if I would sell my old L cup bras to him and to name my price? Shock I didn't reply....

andango · 19/02/2015 22:56

I think in the old days they'd just pinch this stuff off washing lines... pre-ebay.

Having clicked on your first links, OP, I'm now worried the internet is going to think I like clicking on this sort of stuff and my sidebar adverts are going to contain all sorts of weird shit! Blush

SkyWasMadeOfAmethyst · 19/02/2015 23:19

Oh god. I fell down the rabbit hole. The photos are so cringeworthy!

Keletubbie · 20/02/2015 11:14

I've done this.

I made a fair bit of dose.

Pervs like manky old Ugg boots.

Keletubbie · 20/02/2015 11:14

Dosh - why auto-correct??

DuelingFanjo · 20/02/2015 14:28

do they like manky old fake Ugg Boots?

I think fake uggs are fine - apparently they absorb sweat and smells well Confused
