These aren't BRAND NEW and UNWORN

I present to you this unmissable opportunity, a bargain at £30K:

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Collection-of-tights-stockings-hold-ups-suspenders-Various-brands/192164898770

WTAF? Seriously how many pairs of tights and hold ups does any person need, whatever their purpose for them. Brand new and unworn? I'm not convinced.

Upon further investigation some of them are very expensive brands like Falke. Clearly a higher class of perv.

Collected over 15 years!!! 😱

Shiklah · 22/01/2019 16:40

Having read comments from worldly MNers I regret starting this post Grin

What does collection only mean then? Is this a service provider. The mind boggles. I feel queasy.

Apparently used women's shoes can be sold as an item of specialist interest tooWink

Shiklah · 22/01/2019 16:44

so do we think its a woman selling every pair of tights she has worn in her life, having slung them into a shipping container in the garden for 15 years or is it a perv off loading his collection?

How come you came across this posting OP? Wink

Comeymemo · 22/01/2019 16:48

Anyone else wondering what’s the seller’s new specialist interest? 😳

SpoonBlender · 22/01/2019 16:49

Hopefully at least some of them have tagged it to show off to their friends to get the expected "ewww!" responses...

Bezalelle · 22/01/2019 16:51

There are truly some grubby feckers on this planet.

ATowelAndAPotato · 22/01/2019 16:54

Gosh, that’s quite a collection. Agree with a pp regarding the “similar items” below - quite an eyeful! Envy

Romanov · 22/01/2019 16:55

You'd be lucky to give them away

Ew

welcometonarnia · 22/01/2019 16:58

I can't imagine the type of person who will be all £30k? No problemo!

Missingstreetlife · 22/01/2019 16:58

They advertise men's tights, but aren't the people who will wear them called transwomen? So confusing. Think I'll have another chocolate biscuit

thenewaveragebear1983 · 22/01/2019 17:00

There was a thread on here a while ago where a guy (assuming it was a guy) was selling really random things, eg. Chewed pen cap, broken screwdriver etc and they were secret codes for pornography or 'services'. That thread was a revelation, everyone cane on with links to really manky old slippers and hush puppies. Apparently it's a thing.

ALongHardWinter · 22/01/2019 17:00

£30,000? Is that a typing error?! Shock

yearinyearout · 22/01/2019 17:02

Luckylou7 I thought you could sell used tights etc as long as they weren't unwashed...

RomanyRoots · 22/01/2019 17:04

OMG that's not all that far from me.
It could be storage hunters, saw it on tv when ill a few weeks back. There were a couple on then from salford.
it would explain the container.
They could have spent £30k on the container and now want money recouped.
Or, it could just be a perv.

FamilyOfAliens · 22/01/2019 17:05

How come you came across this posting OP?

Just thinking the exact same thing myself ... Grin

thenewaveragebear1983 · 22/01/2019 17:05

And yes, they're all 'collection only'. I gleaned from the thread that the real fun is to be had from messaging the seller, hence the extortionate price (just in case someone did actually genuinely buy them!?)

Scratch the surface of the internet and it really is a grim, murky world

DamonOwlBarn · 22/01/2019 17:08

bear is that thread still up? Sounds fascinating/horrifying!

Bigonesmallone3 · 22/01/2019 17:12

Just what Iv been looking for..

secretmetoo · 22/01/2019 17:14

Someone message the seller Grin

SpringForEver · 22/01/2019 17:19

IsIt they have 7 feedback for buying.

It is possible they have cleared out a brothel. It is also possible it is a hi-jacked account and a scam.

(I am not new to MN BTW, just cleared my browsing data and can't sign in on my old id).

DobbyTheHouseElk · 22/01/2019 17:20

I thought it was prostitution.
