Used Shower Shoes - Cool or Weird?

[johnsontravis@ymail.com]

I have the opportunity to get a high profile player's shower shoes. Is the general consensus that it's creepy? Or that it's a unique item that usually doesn't hit the market?

I'm really on the fence with this. Help!

I'm going to be honest...I don't know who would want something like this and I would be a little disturbed. Just what I think

You can go from a generic "Cowboys" sandal - steiner certified http://www.ebay.com/itm/2009-Cowboys...item2ecd849720

to Theo Ratliff http://www.ebay.com/itm/Theo-Ratliff...item231793f2af

to Lamar Odom - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lamar-Odom-L...item256a7676e4

and Kobe Bryant http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kobe-Bryant-...item231793d439

personally, if they were certified as being worn, and it's a superstar player... if the price was right - say $50 or something for a big name like a LeBron... I think I'd have to give it some real thought... but then again, what's the difference between buying their sandals or a used undershirt from their daily lives? I mean, I guess it was in the locker room at least...

Haha, fantastic responses all. If nothing else, this is some nice comic relief.

Several issues on this one:

1) How would you verify that the player wore them? Photo matching?

2) It's simply gross, and well past the line of stalker-ish.

3) It is a unique item for which there probably isn't a market. I think there's a bit of "greater (greatest) fool" going on here.

I don't agree that it's past the line of stalker-ish. A little odd but not anywhere close to stalker-ish. It would be stalker-ish if he broke into the team clubhouse and stole them and then sniffed them regularly.

Some things just need to be thrown away, no matter who they were "used" by.

Strongly agree...

Just finished dinner and this subject is making me nauseated.

I can just see and smell the foot fungus spreading throughout the rest of your collection.
