Well I’ve listed a pair of shoes on eBay following a wardrobe clearout. There’s been more interest in the tights I was wearing to model them and I was only showing an ankle! So I’ve just sold them for £10. They were new, but only cost £2.50. I can’t decide if I feel violated or amused!!!

Blimey - I'll have to bear that in mind as a valid sales technique next time I do an eBay clearout!

I'm sure a few newspaper/websites have done features on it. Maybe search some of them out and see how to do it to make sure you are safe.

If you are happy making a bit of cash that way then go for it.

I’m very broad minded but know where to draw the line so I’d like to think I can be safe selling tights. But you are right @The Reverend you do need to be careful.

I would be tempted to add a little note saying they might smell of Athletes foot powder . Oh and if you shake them and a corn plaster drops out, you're welcome

I had to stop modelling clothes after sales went down. They sell better without me in them!!

A girl in work put a pair of very worn shoes on and had all sorts of requests via messages, most of them quite shocking. The shoes were next to worthless but went for £20 to a Man in the USA. She did try a second pair but got creeped out in the end by the requests so pulled the listing.

Wonder if anyone wants a pic of my hairy cankles in a pair of Adidas....anyone?
