I’ve always had a bit of a thing for things pink - as a small girl I always wanted to grow up and buy a pink Beetle car (and I’ll do it one of these days), so when I came across this auction on ebay I couldn’t believe my luck. What else can say “I’m a girl and I can kick your butt” better than a pink pair of Doc Martens?

So I’ve spent the week ogling these “only worn once” boots, thinking that they’re a size too big, but would be great with a thick pair of socks. I reckoned they’d probably go for about forty quid.

Was I mistaken - a whopping £56.00 plus £8 postage!

I didn’t buy them for that, but some poor mad soul did. Instead, I’m awaiting my brand new pair of pink DMs from an online retailer for slightly less cash.

Ebay. Commerce gone mad.
