Do a search for "well worn shoes" and see what you come up with. It's for people with fetishes. There's no typo. The more "well worn" the higher the bidding goes. eBay allows these listings as long as there is a disclaimer that the item has been cleaned. There's a few threads on this, so do a search and you will be provided with some amusement :)


Well I just searched for "well worn" and came across some really gross dirty old sneakers... here was the question at the bottom of the page :nuts:

Q: Hi there I was wanting to know are these sneakers SMELLY. See I collect them ,But only if the seller can guarantee 100% they are sour and stink!.Pls get back with me this is important. Also you stated you would be list much more items. Can you pls. see if you have any women's tennis,sandals or other shoes . They have to be stinky , so that I might want to buy ,thanks ...Aug-23-10A: well i can not answer that because all people sense of smell is different,so what smwlls bad to one person may not smell bad to someone else..so there is no way to answer this question really since as i said..we all are different..some may think they stink,while someone else may think they have no smell,or someone else may think the smell like roses..thats the great thing about humans,,we all are different..LOL..have a NICE DAY :)
 
I'm sorry-- but I am looking at auctions like these and it just makes me LOL. Why anybody would actually bid on used socks! Even the title of this thread made me laugh... I couldn't help but think, "what the...?" Hey if used socks are going for $960... I have a ton of them! Hey, I can capitalize on them and buy my wish list! hehehe :graucho:

but in all seriousness... WHY?
 
If you look at the listing, it's very suggestive- who wears knee socks with pumps? It's obviously geared for those men who have a foot fetish. Read between the lines of the listing...;)
 
I am curious.. I wonder how much it would cost for a well worn panty?
I recently purchased a handbag that I really wanted from a seller at a really great price. I saw she had 100% Positive feedback. I didn't bother to look at her other listings or view the items that she had sold until I received the bag and left her positive feedback. I saw that she sold and was still actively selling "well worn" panties and questionable homemade videos, given the description. She also had repeat customers who paid quite a sum of money. I began to wonder how the handbag factored in. I don't own that bag anymore.
