Selling used clothes, is it weird?

I've just found out that there are people out there who are willing to pay for old, extremely worn footwear. Think along the lines of used panties, but it's shoes instead!
Has anyone done this themselves?
It seems harmless but a bit odd at the same time. I don't find feet arousing, but each to their own.

News to me.

Weird but ultimately harmless. If you can make a bit of money out of it, why not?

I read on the internet that some people seem to collect worn shoes as a kind of fetish, I would not have been able to guess this had not someone spelled it out for me. Then there are others who maybe not can afford to buy new shoes and therefore will buy second-hand shoes.

There’s an AMA type in AMA and shoes

Go on to eBay and search for 'worn' anything. It's an eye-opener. Tights, shoes, slippers. The shit people are in to. It's mind boggling.

I would definetly consider buying lightly worn shoes if they were the ones I really wanted (I have expensive taste in shoes lol)
It is certainly for the fetish market, apparently the more worn and smelly the better!
I draw the line at selling used pants or sending revealing pictures of myself to these people, but otherwise it doesn't seem especially seedy on my part?

Well, it is a bit if you think about what people want them for. But if you don't mind thought if that, crack on.

@thedevilinablackdress They're only going in the bin otherwise, I'm not fussed lol.

Not going to lie I'm a bit tempted to sell a load of my old knickers if I got a fair bit of money for them.

They're getting old and I'm pregnant (extra money for that) so they are getting small, just don't think about what someone's going to do with them Confused
