Selling old shoes to perverts on Ebay?

Has anybody done it?

Seems like money for old rope to me.

and cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300312675442

I am tempted. Seems like easy money to me.

It depends, Flappy - do you wear them with or without stockings?

malfoy · 12/05/2009 22:19

Ok. If I do go ahead I will keep you posted. I am a size 6 so perhaps not so attractive.

I think the Mildmanneredjanitor should go for it.

Ewwww with the sweaty feet thing, but OMG, it si actually working, am I being really naive in asking...WHAT use would a perv have with smelly shoes!?
But nevermind, I am really pissed now that I threw out some really manky sequinned ballet style shoes I had!

FlappytheBat · 12/05/2009 22:22

Without!!

do wear a nice line of thin cotton sports socks though, oh I am so tempted to bring them home on Thursday and set up another ebay account!!

one pair of white nurses shoes, well worn and left at work normally as they smell really bad

SpringySponge · 12/05/2009 22:27

They probably would do quite well - especially with the nurse connection! Go for it!

& as for what they do with them, I think they like to smell them...

SpringySponge · 12/05/2009 22:29

Like so

MANATEEequineOHARA · 12/05/2009 22:31

I was just 'ewww' at that link until I read 'footjob' that kind of threw me!

FlappytheBat · 12/05/2009 22:37

OMG!!!

ok, saturday night, will set up another account and put my shoes on,

think will need a glass bottle of wine to do this though, never know where this might lead to

SpringySponge · 12/05/2009 22:43

Excellent Make sure you keep us updated!

FlappytheBat · 12/05/2009 22:53

will do!!

have set up account, minxymedic - had to add a number as there seems to be quite a few.

maybe that's what nurses do to earn a bit of money, sell old and very smelly shoes

Washersaurus · 12/05/2009 22:55

Am concerned that all the ones linked to are located in Worcestershire - a stinky feet hotspot maybe? Could it be the same woman making easy money? I wonder if she pops a photo in with the shoes too?

I'm off to raid my shoe box in search of rancid pumps (I do live in Worcestershire after all)

FlappytheBat · 12/05/2009 23:01

can see me chickening out of doing this, my shoes are really comfy and have plenty of life left in them, mind you that's what the ads say too

blueshoes · 13/05/2009 09:28

I wear size 4 - damn!

pinkmagic1 · 13/05/2009 12:51

I'm a size 8 and have a bag of manky old shoes by the door ready to go to the charity shop, having 2nd thoughts now!!

stillenacht · 13/05/2009 12:54

ooo i'm a size 9/10....sounds interesting

bratnav · 13/05/2009 13:02

Same here, size 8 and I am sure I have some manky shoes I could try listing

HellHathNoFury · 13/05/2009 18:52

I have read this with morbid fascination

DO IT DO IT!
And keep us updated!

I have no manky old shoes but I am sure as hell going to try now!

wotulookinat · 13/05/2009 19:01

I am due a new pair of trainers soon, and you can bet my old ones will now be going onto Ebay!!!
In fact, I might put DH's on there too.

HellHathNoFury · 13/05/2009 20:08

Oh yes I am so going to paint my toenails and say just how whiffy they are.

And all this time I have been wasting my efforts on electronic gear.

hmmSleep · 13/05/2009 20:25

I'm a size 4 but am considering nipping and seeing if I can grab a pair of size 8s from a charity shop for 50p, or perhaps I should suggest the charity shop try it for themselves, bet they get some right stinky old shoes that they normally just chuck in the bin cos they think no-one will buy them.

Would have to think of an excuse as to why I was buying them then though!

HellHathNoFury · 13/05/2009 20:31

it's not just size 8's!

All different sizes are selling!

FlyMeToDunoon · 13/05/2009 20:31

Did you notice that the second seller was also selling her smelly well worn socks!

Huge market there!

My mum says there is a woman she knows who wears a pair of knickers once, sells them for £50 and for and extra £100 she will take a picture of the minge that wore them!

wotulookinat · 13/05/2009 22:38

Yeah yeah, a woman she knows eh?

HellHathNoFury · 14/05/2009 07:25
