A young woman was left in shock after receiving scary responses from strangers to her recent Facebook Marketplace signup.
Cheyenne Skye, from Melbourne, listed a pair of black Doc Martins on the platform, hoping to win $200 to get a nose job.
But the answers she got weren’t what she was hoping for.
In fact, she had the opportunity to win $200 without having to part with the shoes.
“Turns out you can sell your shoes on Marketplace without selling them, and still make money,” she said on TikTok.
Cheyenne Skye, from Melbourne, listed a pair of black Doc Martins on the platform, hoping to win $200 to get a nose job.
“This person sent me a message saying ‘Hey, this might sound a little strange, but if I paid you $50 on the spot, could you meet at a park or something and let me lick the soles of boots ? “It’s totally weird but I’m definitely going to pay you for this,” she said.
He then increased the offer to $100 when she didn’t respond.
And he wasn’t the only one who liked to lick shoes.
“Exhibit 2: ‘This might sound a little strange, but can I lick your boots when you wear them?'” she said.
She said one of the men asked her to dirty the shoes and offered to pay her more per lick.
She found this hilarious because she had gone to some effort to clean them up before posting the list online.
She then asked if she should consider the lucrative offers and people appeared on board, urging her to “do it but be careful”.
’50$??!! $200 at least for the traumatic experience,” one woman wrote.
“It’s way too specific to get two random messages about it. Be careful,” said another.
Others shared similar stories.
“A guy offered me $150 for shoes I was selling for $15, but he wanted them to wear better,” one woman said.
“I literally got the exact first message while selling materials two years ago. Good to see he’s still there,” one woman wrote.
“I’m a straight man, with a partner and a kid selling work boots, a guy offered me $100 to put a pair of underwear in them,” one man said.
Another woman has already made headlines after trying to sell pants on the platform – only to be contacted by a man with a zipper fetish.
