Hi,
Please could you send me some pictures of the soles of the shoes? How worn down are they?
Also, did you ever step on any bugs, spiders, snails etc with them on?
kind regards
AJ

own up!

LadyOfThePoinsettias · 06/12/2006 11:57

Am ROFL at this thread - this has got to be the dodgiest ebay challenge ever!

LadyOfThePoinsettias · 06/12/2006 13:37

foxtrot- to start with, the questions creeped me out but now i just pmsl!
this one guy asked if i have more shoes so i asked him what he is after in perticular? i could tell him to go buy me a pair of nice new shoes and i would wear them out for him, and give him 'wear' updates, then when he is satisfied, so to speak (!!) i would send them back to him and get paid for doing it! lol

takes all sorts!!

PortAndLemonaid · 06/12/2006 14:49

I am so enjoying this thread...

Bananaknickers · 06/12/2006 14:53

I had a look in the charity shop today. All the shoes are to good to sell

FiveGoldenFIMBOs · 06/12/2006 14:55

I couldn't find any either BK, I think our local charity shop gets rid of anything handed in that is best its best. Unless of course, they are keeping them all to sell on Ebay

Bananaknickers · 06/12/2006 14:56

boot fairs are full of them though

FiveGoldenFIMBOs · 06/12/2006 14:57

"best its best" LOL

Should be past its best

FiveGoldenFIMBOs · 06/12/2006 14:59

I couldn't buy manky shoes in public .

At least in the charity shop I know the staff and could of told them what I was doing. Actually I would have given them a donation from my "sales"

yeah but fimbo at boot fairs you are never gonna see them again. charity shop shoes are £5 a pair too.

LadyOfThePoinsettias · 06/12/2006 15:57

we have a really cheapo shoe shop near us where in the bargain bin you can get shoes for £1.99 if you get in there at the right time.
once i've sold all my mankers i will buy some for a couple of quid, wear 'em out, which wont take long as they are cheap and nasty and bung 'em on ebay with the start price what i paid!
genius!

so far i have:
£3 bid on my brown boots (broken heel, peeling leather)
£2 bid on my flat manky pumps & 6 watchers!
I did have £3 bid on my navy courts but he retracted- lol
and a couple of watchers on my square toed office jobs.

Just out of curiosity, do larger sizes attract more interest ?

i.e., are some bidders planning on actually wearing the shoes or do you think they just collect them to treasure (if so my size 6's would be O.K.)

LadyOfThePoinsettias · 06/12/2006 16:44

i dont think the size matters too much. i think the larger sizes may be worn but size 6's have been going well too, from what i have seen on there anyway.
get some of yours on and give us a link!

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 06/12/2006 17:44

RickmanAroundTheXmasTree · 06/12/2006 17:45

notreallyhereDee · 06/12/2006 17:48
