Ebay, Entrepreneur, Money, Fetish

honestlybusy (25)in #ebay • 7 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!

lol... and I donated blood to fund my time at university. What a waste of precious fluids when I could have given my old socks instead^^

Did they ask for images of you or just wanted to see the socks on a pair of feet plus 5cm of leg?

Here are some tips I give to Steemit newbies when I see them:

never just copy a text or publish a photo/video without explanation. Always add some text and never forget to add an image to a text.
Always use all 5 tags for more visibility.
here is an interesting site where you can look up the stats of your account and others.
this is another stats site where you can see your reputation and what to do to climb up the ladder. (commenting other posts is very important).
there is even a help site for Steemit where you can find explanations for the site's functionalities
if you want somebody to read your article or follow your conversation, mention their username (don't forget the @).
commenting other posts is very important because you get "curation rewards" which means Steem Dollar from the pot for the article as a reward for the interaction.
learn the Markdown styles to format your posts (you can find how it works in a link on the right side below the text box)
A lot of votes on steemit come from bots that you (or others) can pay for a vote. Depending on the bot, you end up with more $$ than you had before.
All bots work pretty much the same way: You go to your wallet and click on the little arrow next to the Steem Dollar amount. Then click on transfer, fill in the name and the amount and add as memo the URL to the article for which you want an upvote. Very simple.
Here is a site where you can compare the performance of difference upvote bots.
There are also resteem bots, but I don't find them too useful and don't know which one is good.
Be careful with your password and watch out for scamming attempts. Several big accounts got stolen and now they try to lure others into giving away their password by posting comments with links to fishing sites.
you have several different passwords. Whenever you have to use a password and it is not stated differently, use the active key and as little as possible your owner key! The latter is the big key to your account and if that is gone, you account is gone.

I will follow you now. (<- always add that to a comment when you intend to follow the person who wrote the article. This way, you increase the likelihood that they follow you as well.)

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.

Thank you for the information! It is greatly appreciated. Have been reading on steemit for about a month and decided to just recently sign up. Enjoying my time here.

I will be following you!
