wskitche Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 People sell strange shit on eBay, that was clear to me long ago, but I may have found what may be the pinnacle of strange shit-ness. As part of my master plan for world domination, i am simplifying my life. Lately, something thats been standing in my way of such domination, and a big frustration for me, has been waking up in the morning and finding a pair of dress socks (i work in an office. i have to wear these things). Particularly finding a pair that is both (i) clean and (ii) matching. Anyway, the frantic searching has driven me nuts so I'm ditching all 27 1/2 pairs of black/brown/blue/striped/freckled socks i own and am trying to buy about 40 pairs of the same sock - talk about a worry free life. Finding the right priced, right featured, obtainable sock, is, taking more time than I thought, but thats beside the point. Anyway, while looking on ebay i came across this: ebay listing - expensive used socks Used socks. for sale. on ebay. mutliple biddders. 20 bucks a pair. what the flippin hell. pretty sure that i'm not crazy and thats really there. some dude apparently makes a pretty good living selling his used socks to foot fetish people (i assume) too lazy to go to the salvation army store. fucking sick fucks.

yermom Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 They are pretty decent looking calves wearing those socks! I've seriously toyed with the idea of selling my used socks on eBay before. I'm such a hussy, it wouldn't bother me if some stranger is ultimately going to do things with them. I'd just be afraid they might get my address somehow through eBay or Paypal and stalk me (and my feet) or something. There are a lot of listings where chicks with massive implants sell the most random clothes to a regular clientele of pervy dudes who buy them at high prices because the seller models them (five sizes too small) in the listing.

Good Old Neon Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Has anyone ever had the good fortune to come across a sock, or a pair of socks, that just sort of miraculously took on the appearance of Jesus or maybe even the Virgin Mary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Item will be cleaned per Ebay policy.WTF? Might as well buy some new socks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 you've obviously never worn really good socks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I bet they're not really cleaned. Lies, lies, lies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 why so cynical? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfwahl Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 The guys handle is "pedish". I would think the idea is that they are not cleaned. If they are cleaned what's the joy? I can whack off into my own socks any day of the week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 and am trying to buy about 40 pairs of the same sock - talk about a worry free life.Will you be purchasing the same pair of slacks/dress pants to match the socks in bulk quantity, as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Oh man. The same seller recently sold some boxer briefs...with "skid marks." So glad I wasn't eating when I saw that. It's becoming impossible to go anywhere on the internet without finding something disturbing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
