So, a Japanese friend of mine at school told me that I should sell my worn out converses (holes, rips, no heel support, no tread, etc.) that I liked to wear all the time, on a Japanese auction site. He said that in Japan worn out clothes and shoes are really hot, and that I would make a lot of money.
I decided to have some fun, so I decided that I would try putting them on ebay and...
SOMEBODY BOUGHT THEM FOR $34.63!?!
(Of course, I had to pay about $6.00 to ship them, but still, wowza!)
So, the moral of the story is, do not throw out anything...ever. No matter how junkie it is.
If you want to see how worn out and trashed those shoes were, click on this link:
