Buying panties

Someone once asked me to part with some of my lingerie.
At first I thought that he wanted to cross-dress in my clothes - no - he wanted worn, unwashed knickers.
My refusal was countered by an offer to pay. Also refused.

I ceased contact with this person whom I had not met.

Had it been a lover who had asked me ?
I would like to think that I might have let him remove them and require him to prove by his performance that he deserved his prize !

I was tempted once but had the same sort of thoughts as you did about rip-offs and decided not to.

Better off just snagging items from a known person's hamper.

I didn’t realize e-commerce has gone a long way! We could all make profit by not washing underwear— sell it online and buy new ones all the time. 💰 💵 ching-ching

I never bought any online for shipping. I don't want to give out my address to some stranger, you never know where that might lead. I have bought them online for pickup though a few times. College students need money for tuition so it works out well. Meet them at the skytrain station or a gas station someplace.
