I have a pair of shoes on ebay. They are red stilettos, ankle straps, zips; look a bit kinky.

I got a message for a buyer saying 'she loved them and they were exactly what she was looking for for her night out, and whether I would have some photos to see how they looked on etc etc xxx'

I offered to take some pictures, and she said 'that would be fab thanks xxx'

I am desperate to sell them, so didn't think much of it, put them on, took a few pictures and sent them.

Didn't hear back for a couple of days so I asked her is she got the photos. She said, 'yes, thanks I will have a look xxx'

And that was it.

Maybe I just have a dirty mind, but AIBU to think she was never going to buy my shoes?

This has happened to me Blush I didn't know it was a 'thing' either, til a friend told me.

LloydColeandtheCoconuts · 05/02/2018 21:39

What?!Confused She got turned on by looking at your feet in kinky shoes pictures? Or have I missed something?

Ginkypig · 05/02/2018 21:41

Yep. You should have told her that you would need to charge £10 per pose for the inconvenience Grin

did you paint your toenails nice and purty??

DearMrDilkington · 05/02/2018 21:54

I will never understand foot fetishes, there's nothing sexy about feet.

Don't give up op, maybe he'll she'll still buy them to sniff.

IamAporcupine · 05/02/2018 21:56

DearMrDilkington agree! plus you should see the state of my feet!

Have you ever seen the dirty shoe ads? Usually really crappy old trainers, "well used" is normally the phrase but they make a point of saying they will be cleaned in accordance with eBay regs.

Like these for example, although if you search "well used" you'll find lots of stilletoes etc too. "Worn every day of summer"... ugh

I don't know why this fascinates me so much but I can assure you I am neither a buyer nor seller of such items!

DivorceNovice · 05/02/2018 22:01

Haha! I put two pairs on gumtree and had the exact same response from seemingly two different people but asking same thing...can you try them on and post pictures please. I just said they were packed away and I was not home at the time but they were welcome to actually come and have a look at them. Never heard back.Grin

Oh my giddy aunt,I never knew it was a thing. I reaching for my pomander

LloydColeandtheCoconuts · 05/02/2018 22:06

Thanks UpstartCrow Grin I’m a bit slow. It’s been a long day.
I reckon I could cure anyone of a foot fetish though. Mine are rancid.

Jeffjefftyjeff · 05/02/2018 22:07

Also loads of people sell used socks for the same reason. It’s an actual thing. People (and by people I mean some men) are weird.

MsHomeSlice · 05/02/2018 22:10

dearie me! spottes this under those converses!
