SELLING something online is a great idea when you want to get rid of unwanted items, but it's also pretty risky business when it comes to opening yourself up to unwanted guests – or in some cases, propositions.
So when one woman took to Facebook to sell some unwanted high heels, she was not at all expecting the responses she got – but luckily for her wit, and ability to think on her feet, she was able to hit back at them in the best possible way.
The woman in question listed multiple pairs of heels on Facebook Marketplace in an attempt to sell them, and while she received an influx of genuine interest from women wanting to buy the shoes, she also received much more – and it was the last thing she'd expected.
The women soon became inundated with messages from blokes who claimed to be buying shoes for their girlfriends, but insisted she send photos of her wearing them first.
One man wrote: "Hi I was wondering if it was possible to [see] some more photos of the heels?"
While another asked: "I am looking to get some for Valentine’s Day. So would it be possible to see what they look like on and full view? Thanks."
While it seemed a rather odd request the woman obliged, but rather than her feet modelling the shoes, she enlisted the help of an old friend.
Her pet pooch happily stepped up to the occasion, and by up we mean into a pair of heels to fulfil the requests of the "interested" buyers.
While we admit they did look rather cute on the pups paws, it wasn't quite what the interested parties had in mind.
Needless to say, the men were no longer interested in buying the shoes for their girlfriends.
The woman, who was no doubt impressed with her efforts, shared her encounter online, and people can't stop praising her for her ability to think on her feet – well, her dogs feet, rather.
She said: "When I'm selling my high heels on Marketplace. This is how I deal with dudes that pretend to want to buy my shoes.
"This girl wasn't born yesterday. My dog is happy to help."
Speaking to Bored Panda, the woman revealed she'd received numerous requests in the past when trying to sell shoes on eBay, and while she thought they were innocent at first, she quickly realised their interests weren't genuine – so she decided to act.
She said: “I asked my boyfriend first, but he wasn’t keen and his feet are too big. My dog is always happy to help. He wouldn’t stand there and let me take a quick snap if he didn’t want to."
While the pup stunt meant she wasn't able to sell her shoes, at least she was able to shut down any creepy blokes.
