Selling used undies?

Lighthearted…. except at three in the morning when I’m lying in bed worrying….

Is it unreasonable to be (sort of) seriously considering trying my luck at selling my used undies?

Name changed because ew gross.

(I’m just sick of working super hard and being careful with money…. and still not having any. )

What? How do they send her the key if they are locked up??

😆 🤣

On a serious note, aren't men so gullible and easily pleased? Imagine women wanting to buy their Skiddy underpants and an old used shoe.

A few years I put on quite a bit of weight and spent a lot on expensive bras. Soon after, I decided to lose the weight and I put my expensive (and very large!) on EBay with a warning saying something like ‘if the thought of second hand underwear appalls you, move on quickly!’
The whole lot were bought in a flash. I didn’t try to sell my knickers though….

Correction … ‘very large BRAS’

People do it with shoes. I read about someone years ago who intentionally bought really worn shoes on eBay / charity shops, took pics of her wearing them then sold them for 3-4x more…

Ooh noo. Did here of someone (a man) who did this himself, with knickers and tuna oil. Passed them off as celebs undies.

Also went down an ebay rabbit hole on 'trashed shoes'. V weird

Funny how ppl assume stuff like this and selling feet pics is easy money . News flash isn’t.

Well that went downhill fast!

Erm.....😁

Yes, that's exactly the kind of pervs who are out there. Sniffing worn undies is just the first rung on the ladder!

I knew a girl who used to sell her turd in a Tupperware box for £50 a piece and send it in the post!!! There are some strange people out there!

How did that even begin? Did she advertise that there were turds available for purchase; or did the clients approach her to enquire about them?

What do they even do with it? Actually, I'm not sure I want to know the answer to that one...

The pull of perversion must be extremely strong if people will stump up very good money for something that everybody else - including themselves - produce for free every day, and usually instantly get rid of with disgust.

Unless maybe they're MNers - and it's the only way they can obtain proper Tupperware, whilst lamenting the shockingly poor quality of the cheapo generic equivalents that everywhere sells nowadays?!

I've considered this in harder times but the marketing and posting seemed like a lot of effort.

Christ I doubt my knickers would fit in an envelope

Send them in a long cardboard poster tube - then the undies-addicted pervs can use it as a bong.

... and did she offer a menu, so that customers could make their selection and order using the numbers of the Bristol Stool Chart as a product code?

That reminds me of Chunky LaFunga from Goodness Gracious Me!

Well having been an escort a long while ago I thought I was un shockable, however, lol
An ex “colleague”, (and occasional contributor to MN) now in her late 50’s makes money from “key holding”
Her subscribers lock “themselves up” and send her the key.
She charges them a weekly amount & a release fee 😂

Can you imagine the keys getting mixed up. That would be an awkward call to a locksmith.

How do the blokes even go to the toilet if their plumbing is all locked away?

F*ck me, some people men are really not well, are they?
