    So I buy a lot of stuff off ebay and was looking for some work socks... that's when i started noticing these weird listings... eg. This one. Read the feedback! There's loads of these listings, never going to buy socks off ebay!

    This has to be a wind up, he has quite a few feed back messages, probably from his mates as nobody in their right mind would pay £3 - £15 for a used pair of socks.

    I cant remember who it was, but a few years ago there was a chap on TV in the UK who found an old piece of rope on the beach and sold it on ebay the same week.

    Used underwear is a big market. Know someone who makes £xxx a month selling knickers.

    Is the pain you go through wearing them worth the money at the end of the month though? ;)

    I've come across this before on Ebay, I thought it was a joke listing, I seen once before a used toy plastic bath duck for sale on Gumtree :-D

    WARNING !
    If you have just checked on Ebay for used boys socks out of curiosity while logged into your account then goto your settings and clear your Ebay search history otherwise it will show up as recently viewed items and you could get some hassle from your missus etc ;)

    No, they were pink, they've coloured with age and use :)

    [edit]

    Disappointed to see jizzsocks.com has already been regged :(, but it might drop soon
