I had to share... EBay?!

viceroy · Feb 19, 2013

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!

And here is me throwing money in the bin by just putting old socks in the rubbish..

Could be selling them to these foot fetish fellows

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.

Haha! I think they're selling a bit more than just socks! Surely EBay has caught onto this?! Anyways, no more searching ebay for me this evening!:shock:

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.

It's banned now i think, but many years ago there were people buying and selling pubic hair trimmings on ebay :shock:

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 guess it is big business I'm that sad I went and checked the exacts seems another term for knickers is the big draw with over 5000 searches a month before you all run of to reg the domains most are gone even the me.uk was taken

Haha i cant remember where it was but i read about something like this before,

Someone was selling there used socks to people for like £20 quid a pop

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

If your looking for fresh new feet warmers and don't wish to purchase horrible weird grotty old one's then I suggest you head over to socked.co.uk

boxerdog · Feb 20, 2013

haha this is great, I came across a "creamy" pair of granny pants in a car i was working on today (sorry that sounds rank) I took a pic and asked my mate if he wants them as a joke and he said he knows someone who sells them and makes some decent money :shock: They are in the bin if anyone wants them LOL
