I sometimes see people selling weird things like "used mattresses" I dont know about you but I think this is kind of gross/disgusting but there must be enough people who think this is fine for it to be such a common thing to be sold. What are your controversial things you like to buy/sell used? Fish tanks? swimsuits? refrigerators? Shoes?

I think for me it would be couches. I know it's not that controversial but I tend to shy away from used things I guess.

secondhand shoes sounds super off putting at first but then I just thought about how I've been bowling multiple times and worn shoes that hundreds of other people have worn before me...

What about when you stay in hotels.....how many people must have slept in those beds? Sweat, semen, vomit etc

Lol

These are good points. It's like, on the one hand, anything can be cleaned (I think) but then on the other you sort of think it can't.

Nowadays they're all electronic and I'll buy one if I need it for study and possible resale. There's an art to resale though, there are people who just buy stuff (junk) and resell it on e-bay and make a lot of money doing that.

I always remove the bedspread the first thing I do because they don't wash those. Filthy. πŸ˜›

Actually I talked to a hotel worker and that's usually the only thing they machine wash.

Really maybe depends on hotel. Not what I've heard from people working in hotels. And I have never seen the cleaners carry them when making the bed and surely some rooms must be for new arriving guests.

Perhaps it does depend on the hotel.

But the first thing I was told is never sleep on the bed take the bed spread and sleep on the floor because it's cleaned more often then anything else.

Oh no no no!! I'd never ever read books online. I love the feel of paper n weight of books. They are absolute treasure. It's suchha shame that they're all getting electronic. I'd never ever sell any of them either. I lend them tho.But there are few books I wouldn't even lend at gunshot. But yeah that's a whole different thing.

I like the feel too, I used to like to collect books but then when you have to move you realize how much of a pain in the butt it is to have them.

Damn, there be some snotty princess complexes up in this thread.

Some of the no go stuff is kind of obvious, but the other stuff, "ew used." Stfu you sound like a fucking prick. It ain't that serious.
