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?

Is she fucking smushing mince pies there??

"IamAporcupine

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

Can you post the pics you sent "her" so we can decide whether it was the state of your feet that put them off or if they were just a perv?

My dog would probably like worn socks. He is always stealing mine.

Trashboat · 05/02/2018 22:11

Omg wtf. Is that a load of crushed up mince pies 😂😂😂

What the actual fuck. And crush clips 😵

RideaCockHorseOfCourse · 05/02/2018 22:11

But then again, maybe I am missing out on some cash opportunities. goes looking for old shoes to list on ebay! Grin

IamAporcupine · 05/02/2018 22:17

Do you think my husband's old slippers will get the same interest?

IamAporcupine · 05/02/2018 22:18

NotAnotherEmma but how do I know that that is the reason why you want to see the pics? Grin

IamAporcupine · 05/02/2018 22:20

Wtf are crush clips??? Dear god.

PatriciaBateman · 05/02/2018 22:26

Ugh, my stomach flipped when someone mentioned crush clips. It's a disgusting fetish that often involves the crushing of live insects or small animals, the more slow and brutal the better. Definitely do not google if you're an animal lover.

It looks like they've substituted mince pies, but the thought behind it and the practice it alludes to is awful (also illegal I believe).

Aeroflotgirl · 05/02/2018 22:29

A foot fetishist op, bet he loved them😂😂😂😂

IamAporcupine · 05/02/2018 22:29

OMfuckingG, that's disgusting

TitaniasCloset · 05/02/2018 22:33

I tweeted once light heartedly that I could do with a foot fetishist to massage my feet and pay me for the privilege, something like that anyway. Of course I had a foot fetishist contact me and he sent me a video of him enthusiastically slurping at some woman's feed, I assume to turn me on, I wanted to vom. It was just yuck.

ReanimatedSGB · 05/02/2018 22:33

To make any money at it you have to sell a lot and do it regularly. I have not had that much luck with used footwear.

TitaniasCloset · 05/02/2018 22:34

Sometimes I think I should make a bit of extra cash doing mad things like this, but could I go through with it? Confused

PatriciaBateman · 05/02/2018 22:35

IamAporcupine There are some sick, sick people in the world. Sad

MoeSzyslaksTwinSister · 05/02/2018 22:36

I'm trying to sell 2 pairs of shoes just now and not had anyone wanting kinky pics!

KakunaRattata · 05/02/2018 22:37

I've seen this come up a lot on mn over the years, how do people actually make money from this though? Is it just the actual sale of the item or is it more like the crush clip one suggests? Much as some of my converse are minging I won't be selling them on btw!

TitaniasCloset · 05/02/2018 22:40

I would really really love to know how women make money doing these things or being a dominatrix or something. Nothing that involves sex. I should start my own thread. I doubt I could do it though. It's probably not what I expect.
