Middle-aged man buys clothes on eBay shock

I've always been reluctant to buy clothes on eBay, but took a risk with these shoes.  I'd been looking for a pair of rubber-soled brogues to wear in our wet winter weather, when leather soles are impractical.

I found these Next Goodyear welted shoes in my size and bought them with a modest bid of £27.  They're made of a soft but robust leather with chunky Itshide Commando soles and are very comfortable - quite a bargain.  They had probably been worn once so looked virtually brand new.

Would you buy clothes on eBay?
