Ebay, Entrepreneur, Money, Fetish

in #ebay7 years ago

I've actually been selling on Ebay for over 11 years now. Making money selling everything from cars to week old dirty socks. Yes, thats right. Dirty socks. I had no idea such a market was out there and willing to pony up $100's for some pictures and a good story.

Before you start guessing at what kind of freak I am, I actually happened across this by accident. A friend from work said he only wore his socks once and then threw them away. I was shocked and in disbelief. I asked him why and he said feet are nasty and he would not wear the same pair of socks even if they were washed. I thought to myself, what a waste. I asked him if he any left over and his response, "I have trash bags full"! I told him to let me sell them and we would split the profits under the condition that he washes them before he gives them to me!

Before researching I'm thinking I can get $10 for a set of 6-8 pair. It could be worth a few extra hundred to me. I never shy away from a profit. To my surprise, a quick google search of "dirty used socks for sale" turned up a fetish that literally sent my mind into money making overdrive! Pretty soon I had created social media accounts and listing on the adult ebay site. Yes, Ebay has that. I had been selling on the platform for nearly 8 years and never knew it existed. lol.

I was rewarded handsomely for my push into the foot fetish market. I ended up having family members take pictures of there wildest socks in awkward positions and making up stories just to get a higher price. One story had a farming story of how I like to walk in my socks out to my stall to "handle my sheep". Some pretty sick stuff but I was able to lead the story in a way that left my audience using their imagination for the "good parts?". It was a hit and for 6 months I made a killing! The most expensive pair of "dirty socks" I sold was $280. For one pair!

It all got smelly when the private messages started rolling in. People wanted me to talk dirty to them about my made up stories. Pretty soon the money wasnt worth it. My gold mine would need to be covered up. I shuttered the doors and went back to my normal routine.

But hey, if I ever need some quick cash, I know where to go!

I can imagine that moment where you realised dirty socks were worth more than clean socks and picked up the phone to your work friend...

STOP WASHING NOW!

Thanks for the comment!

interesting story with funny picture!

They only asked for the feet and a dirty story. I was charging them $10 for a picture and a brief story. It was easy money but long term I just could not continue. lol.
