Just looking for a pair of slippers on eBay and people are selling manky, fit for the bin, used slippers!!!!

I've noticed people selling 'well-worn' or used underwear before too.

Is is just me or is this completely sick??

Or are there gross pervs out there who actually buy these things??

Just about to have my lunch too .......!!!

But who would buy used slippers when you can get them for about £2 at Stead and Simpson???

MoonIsATiredSlayer · 30/07/2009 12:54

I think the well worn underwear is a perv thing

BitOfFun · 30/07/2009 12:57

Same with the slippers...they will be even more crusty a couple of days after e-baying, let me assure you

notwe shouldn't have opened this when eating my lunch!!! anyhow....

my ex sold a pair of my underwear sets he brought on ebay - the lady buyer hasn't left feedback, 2 bra's and a thong went for 2.20 - well worth it!!

tbh I think he was being pathetic!

People with a foot fetish get off on used, manky footwear.
The sellers can sometimes make a fair price too. I've seen used, smelly, pumps go for eighty odd pounds, and i bet they paid no more than eight for them.
Have to say it has crossed my mind - just threw a pair of boots out yesterday.

Prammy, I've got some gold high-heeled boots I was going to give to the charity shop, but now you mention it...

cocobongo · 30/07/2009 13:08

i once bought (brand new) bras from ebay- back in the days when the buyer's name was shown. i am (ahem) a fairly large cup size. anyway, i then got some unsolicited messages offering to buy some of my old, used bras due to the large size. while tempting to get money for old bras (!) i did think it was a bit weird and reported it to ebay instead.... though i'm sure the people in the ebay offices got a good laugh at it.

PrammyMammy · 30/07/2009 13:17

Muck them up a bit and make sure you get your legs in the photo. lol.

poopscoop · 30/07/2009 13:18

Prammy at legs in the photo.

Don't you just love those pics, especially with all the old toot in the background.

scottishmummy · 30/07/2009 13:19

LynetteScavo · 30/07/2009 13:20

Well nobody bought my lovely new morrocan slippers last week. They were brand new, but too small for me.

Bargain missed.

NormaSknockers · 30/07/2009 14:29

Ah yes the good old foot fetish listings

Have you discovered the Refletoporn listings yet? Now they are funny weird!

OMG Lumpy that was like looking up someones nose!

GoldenSnitch · 30/07/2009 15:26

Yuk, that is gross. There are some sick people out there.

Wonder how much I could have got for the slippers I wore to hospital that my waters broke over though....

Pikelit · 30/07/2009 15:34

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! And there's me thinking there wasn't much left to surprise me! There's also something hideously "anatomical" about the pictures of those pink slippers too.

had i known of this i would have sold my 6 for a £1 big white pants from Tesco's ages ago and made myself a bit of pocket money.

brandonsflower · 30/07/2009 17:42

Minging, but I think she has a 'following' clicky
Even I could be persuaded to buy her manky slippers

Meglet · 30/07/2009 17:45

I did have loads of old bras I gave to the charity shop the other week.

Part of me wanted to e-bay them to a perv for ££££ but then I figured he would know my address and it might get all stalker-ish, so I decided against it.
