Status: offline 		I'm venturing into the business of selling my underwear to people and I was wondering if it's a business venture that is worth the time and effort. I've never done anything like this before (not even selling anything online and I refuse to touch Ebay) and would like to know some of the pro's, con's, and things to look for, both positive and negative, in buyers.

Ebay is a pain in the ass when it comes to "adult" oriented items, mainly because you have to have a credit card on file, and if your item doesnt sell then they charge you anyway. Which is crap.

Try Domme listings and things, or hook up with a reputable Domme that has an existing site maybe?

Thats about the best that I can offer you as far as advice goes.

I do happen to know a place where people sell them.  I don't watch them to know how much they get..but
it might be worth your effort to watch for a while.  Give you a little bit of insight.

Status: offline 		well one con I can see right now up front is the cost of continually buying new panties, and I don't know about you but for me panties cost like 6 bucks a pair, because I am a size 15 in panties and retailers can get away with charging high prices.

And be careful I know a few Pro's (No Not Domme) who sold thier panties as a cover for what they were really doing and well that didn't stop the FBI from kicking her door down and arresting her and taking her computer for suspected Prostitution. They sell the panties for 200 to 1000 dollars and then hand deliver them and issue a reciept for the panties...... then since the business is over the have sex with the client making it all legal like...... well that was the idea anyway. Turns out it wasn't as legal as she thought it was.

If you wanna sell you panties go for it. Hope it works for you I have rarely met any Pro who made money without having clients she met in person and it was only the regular weekly clients that she could count on to pay her bills.

"Being a Pro is a LOT of work and not as Glamorous as you might think" was one of the things that a Pro Domme said which always stuck with me that I find funny when girls talk about going pro. Nothing about what she said made it ever sound like a Glamorous life to live, most of time all she did was complain about how demanding and bitchy the Johns were.

I just don't see the drive. Maybe if Mens Jocks were in such High demand I would feel differently till that day I will just remain in the dark I guess.

Status: offline 		Not that it is revelant but your statement got me thinking Steel.  By some unsuspecting persons panties.  Remove the DNA and plant it at a crime scene.

Perfect crime?  Well, I don't know but thats what it made me think of.

Status: offline 		I will say as i also sell items " not my underpants " it is an up an down biz .Sub4hire does have a point with the whole dna  thing csi dexter crime plant out there .I also know there are plenty of Pro Dommes selling items such as clothing and signature toy lines etc.Personally i think you would do better selling old smelly work out shoes and heels  there are tons of foot fetish people out there.Just to clarify are these underwear that your wore  ?or that you made and designed ?You will have way more sales and a broader market for the design type vs dirty laundry .there is a site called ebanned that sells that type of items "the worn by a Domme /woman .Many sites i know require clean items be sold .The bad part about selling is what forms of payment shall you accept and can those payment s be disputed and in the end people get the product with out paying .
I know many Pro Dommes who offer sales of garments ,and items post session including a dvd of the scene for a cost .
The other  thing to consider is when your selling items like this are you prepared for the world to know what your selling .Posting items  and selling not only the items but yourself in a way is being marketed for all to see .Example would be your at a mall  and you hear thats her , thats the one i was telling you about with the panties .if thats not a problem for you  cool , just be aware it can happen .Is the motivation purely monitory gain  ? maybe more details are needed  on the venture as a whole .Biggest suggestion is do a lot of market research this being step one .

And I can see handing over my used $3 thong a LOT faster than prying my beautiful shoes from my cold dead hands!

Status: offline 		A very good friend of mine used to sell her's and did quite well with it. But I remember being at a small party and her asking others to "scent" the panties for her because she was on her period. She had a website and NEVER met clients in person, but she did do phone sex. And OMG the stories she used to share , LMFHAO!
