Can you help answer this question about my 'well worn trainers' .. ahem!

[EmbarrassedbyEbay]

Inspired by a thread on MN I listed my 'trashed trainers' and have recieved the question 'how smelly are they?'

Now bearing in mind I want to sell these trainers for as much as possible, I need a good answer, I dont think just saying 'very' will cut the mustard.

So all you frank, open minded MNers, what should I answer?

(I am a reg btw not a troll, red rug, judge flounce, cod arf etc)

Mine didn't sell

[embarrassedbyebay]

How did you do Trillian?

I've just sold another pair

[TrillianAstra]

Thanks, have checked postage and replied.

Someone wanted to know if they had been worn recently, but there haven't been any overtly provocative questions yet.

I'd happily ship to Greece. It's not that much more for Europe normally and after the RM increased their prices in April the small item that I sell frequently weighing approx 60g now costs more to post first class UK than it does for a small packet to Europe.
Go to the royal mail website and get your kitchen scales out and you can get an accurate price before replying.
Any saucy questions ?

[TrillianAstra]

I have questions already!

I don't think I want to ship to Greece, do I? Is that just going to make a whole load of hassle? Or should I say yes but quote a high price to repay myself for the hassle?

[TrillianAstra]

Right I am doing my flat shoes. If they sell I may get rid of a pair of trainers too.

[Pingpong]

the brantano offer has ended now but how many 'well worn' shoes do you think got recycled on ebay and never made it to developing countries or am I too cynical?

[TrillianAstra]

Awesome, well done!

[EmbarrassedbyEbay]

Trillian set a buy it now of £25 and they sold tonight

[EmbarrassedbyEbay]

No boogie

Good idea Trillian

[TrillianAstra]

I think I might have a go. D'you think I should make it so bidding ends at nighttime?

[boogiewoogie]

Lol... there is a ebayer with your old old user name... size 18/size 7 shoes, west yorkshire... you're rumbled!

[BernardsCat]

you may guess mine if you had been around a LONG time but it has a spanish twist to it. tbh you would not find out much of interest about me apart from when i went to a fancy dress thing, bought some shades for it from a sller called " smutty gifts"

do you think he gardens in his frilykecks?

[EachPeachPearMum]

You see people... this is why you should use different usernames for everything!

BC- he buys a lot of gardening stuff too!

If you think the person emailing is just being annoying you'll have to lead him on with 'well, it's hard to describe, when you see it yourself you'll appreciate it'

[TrillianAstra]

Oh, right, cos you're hiding both your real identity and your MN identity! My ebay would give away who I am on here but not in RL.

[EmbarrassedbyEbay]

It would give me away Trillian
