I once sold some legging type things, not steam punk ones and the guy who bought them asked if I would wear them and then send them to him unwashed

So I’ve been back to thread #17, she’s just shaved her head. Patreon was going strong, It seems she was trying to grift a fridge and best most amusing but is she was lifting a 93kg side board while being photographed by her mate Vix and just like BOJO was allegedly breaking lock down rules on 20th may 2020 also

I need to do our year end Patreon update but between an actual job and various personal finance spreadsheets can’t bring myself to calculate whether she got at least £10k or more realistically £30k in free cash in 2021 😭 pls don’t send doggos x

Is anyone else feeling a mixture of fury and despondency at seeing these posts from that day 18 months ago?

Almost, almost makes everything seem pointless at times.

This, has me fewmin and is the worst piece of steaming PR bullshit I've seen from this wrong 'un. I'm sorry, but this picture is allll the kinds of wrong. I use a stick to get about from A to B, it's not a fashion accessory but a medical aid that allows me to balance and coordinate. It's a massive pain in the arse but keeps me upright allowing me autonomy and offering me independence.
To me, Jack's gait here is odd. It's certainly not that of someone struggling with their mobility/pain issues. Plus, the bulging (Mulberry) saddle bag of lies would interfere with your centre of gravity, pulling massively off balance. I've a similar bag, it can only be worn across the body. And crossing the road is filled with hazards. Raised kerbs, tactile paving etc..I certainly wouldn't be handing over my P.I.M.P Daddy cane to Mr Israel.
I haven't even started on the physics of that hair, that's enough to pull the fucking Earth of it's axis.

I know of someone who sold some old shoes on a selling site and the bloke asked her for soiled hose too.

I found out a few years ago that a former colleague used to buy Primani jeans, wear them a few times and then sell them for a lot of money on specialist sites which catered for those tastes. (Not the charity-shop scouring colleague). Hope that isn't given Jack ideas although it would pay her tax bill probably.

I sold a my old Doc Martens from the 80s on Ebay, and was genuinely expecting a frantic bidding war for them. They sold for £6.50 and it cost me 7 quid to post them....

I'd love to read the feedback that jack leaves for people...i bet it's flowery or ragy

Well worn shoes used to do quite well on eBay. I’ve sold a few pairs to a man in America.

Judge me all you like, he paid more for them than I did when they were new! Sadly eBay has put a stop to that kind of stuff now, I believe.

Stopping what?

selling well worn shoes?
selling stuff for a profit?
selling stuff to Americans?

Too much in your story to just leave us hanging.

They seemed to have caught on that well worn shoes were generally bought by people with a foot fetish so they stopped the listings.

This enterprise was first brought to my attention by an acquaintance who was an air hostess and used to sell her shoes on the regular. Just checked eBay and that also seems to have been stopped. She used to make a fair old amount!

This happened to me too. I was very surprised, think mine went for under a tenner too.
I think the current DM fans are the type who think second hand = dirty.
Not like my day when skanky was the actual fashion. I remember when we used to purposely scuff new shoes so they didn't look new.
Although I realise not everyone was like that, there was also the preppy look running alongside us urban Woodstock wannabes.

I was just having a FB scroll and a notification popped up from jack's make up group, there was a lot of excitement about someone touching a particular birkin bag model.
I googled it and the first one the came up costs 69k and looks like it's been vandalised with an ironic meta nod to the daylight robbery.
Just looked again and see it's been customised by a stret artist.
I hope he has a right old chuckle when he made this https://csd.shop/products/women/bags/alec-monopoly-black-togo-leather-birkin-40.html
