The sandals I am currently wearing are SOLD.

March 28, 2017 9:47pm CST
The other day, I stepped in bird poop. We are currently bird sitting his sister's birds. It is no biggie, but my fiancé said I must clean them. But, I don't want to clean them "yet", so I wore a different pair of sandals instead. When we went to go run errands yesterday, I was complaining that the sandals hurt my knee. They were my favorite sandals months ago but now it's time to retire them! So, I decided to list them on Poshmark to sell and they sold within 10 minutes of posting! After Poshmark's 20% commission, I'll take $20 bucks for a pair of used leather sandals. The sandals regularly retail $128 but I figure they're not the cleanest, or nicest but I'll take it! Well, I am still wearing the sandals to go buy dinner in a few minutes but they're sold and will be shipped to it's new home tomorrow!!

No! The sandals I sold do not have bird poop! I set the bird poop sandals aside and wore a different pair of sandals. The different pair I am wearing hurt my knees so I sold them!

@sunrisefan In combination with dog urine too maybe? Remember you mentioned the dogs like to pee on car tires.

@infatuatedbby I can do that for you :) One time, our former manager came over to the house to ask me to do an inventory of her boarding house (all furniture, aircon, lights, CCTV, etc.) before she leased it to a hotel operator. Now, her place is a Bed & Breakfast out fit with a breakfast only café for the whole day.

I wear tennis shoes and "thong" shoes and nothing else. I used to be a "boot" type of girl but no longer wear them either. $20.00 isn't so bad, could have been much worse. On an aside, I wont' spend more than $75.00 on a pair of shoes.

I wear sneakers often too but for quick errands just a pair of thong sandals or slippers/sandals will do. :) $20 is not bad at all. She ended up paying $25 + shipping $6.49 . But after 20%, I get $20.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Nope I don't mind the 20%. I dont have to deal with meeting up with people. Just put it in a box and off it goes. :) I have a PO box so I am not concerned about people knowing my address. I had Listia, I sold one or two items only.

@infatuatedbby They really aren't taking much off the top there at all... I get kind of nervous about selling items in this way. Do you remember Listia? I had used it once or twice to sell items.

Wow, you seem to be doing well with those sales! But you also have nice stuff that you're listing. That's great you're getting $20 off of them . . . um, I probably didn't even spend $20 on mine when they were new .

Hehehe. I surely didnt spend $128. I'm not crazy but thats how much they retail and hardly go on sale. Being the shopper, I am! I found a steal deal. And even after wearing them for a year or more? I will get some of my money back, why not! She even gets the original box it came in! LOL!

Hmmm.... I KNOW there is some saying I've heard about people with money and something sense, but I can't remember what word go in place of the 'something' I wrote there, Michelle! So are you REALLY sending those sandals to someone with birdie poo still on them? Ewww! *wrinkled my nose at the imagined odor!* I HAVE spent that much for some of my shoes, but not sandals! (The last time I purchased sandals (late last summer) I paid $78 a pair. I bought a tan pair and a black pair. I didn't tell Pretty how much I spent on them, either! LMAO! Not that it would have mattered. The money was mine. ) I have worn the black pair three or four times this Spring. The tan pair are still in their box, unused. Anyway, hon, where did you go to eat and what did you choose to eat? Was it delicious? (Now, I am hungry! Thanks for that! LOL!) Yeah, funny, except I really AM hungry now! *sigh!* Fine, I will go get a banana or a peach to munch now.... *SMH!*

You might have misread just a tad The sandals that have poop, I set them aside because I don't want to clean them yet. Aka fiancé will eventually do it. I wore a different pair and those are the ones I sold because they ended up hurting my feet/knee. They're about time to retire in my book but for others it's just a new beginning!

@infatuatedbby Nah, I didn't misread your post, hon! I thought it would be funnier to send the people the sandals you got birdie poo on. We could have imagined the conversation that would have ensued when someone opened the mailing shipper! You just didn't want to play with me today, did you?
