A friend* and I are always discussing ways to make enough money so that we can give up work. From writing educational books or inventing apps to running a coffee shop or baking cupcakes, we’ve been through hundreds of ideas. But her latest idea sounds like the easiest one.
Apparently,men people will pay for used/worn/preloved tights. All you need to do is bulk-buy packs of tights for 50p each, wear them for ten minutes, then list them on eBay with a slightly saucy photo for £5 each and wait for the bids to come rolling in.
The only down side is that it’s a bit distasteful and not the sort of thing to discuss at PTA socials.
‘So, what you do you for a living, Barb?’
‘I sell my used tights on eBay.’
‘Sorry, I think I spotted someone I know across the room.’
Hmmm, back to the drawing board. But if you really do have have any legitimate, less seedy, money-making ideas, please feel free to share 🙂
*She may have to be downgraded from ‘friend’ to ‘acquaintance’ after revealing that she only likes hanging out with me because I make her feel thin…
