Japanese Mysteries #210923: It's true! I finally saw it! (used ******* for sale)

[manuel]

Yesterday in the evening I went to a small book store that also sells DVDs, trading cards and other collectible stuff like that.
I had to check out the adult corner of course. And there I saw what I was always reading and hearing about, but couldn't say for sure whether it's true or not.
They sell used panties with a photo of the girl wearing it.   Prices range from about 2000Yen for one to over 10000 Yen for a translucent plastic container filled with several used undergarments like panties, stockings and stuff. (If I was a woman I'd be rich by now...   )
For the curious: No, I did NOT buy one. If I would want used panties I'd take one from my wife.  

One Japanese mystery is now off my list. Now I shall find out if there's a market for male underwear.

That's flippin' weird. I've never heard of such a thing. I know people have that fetish, but I didn't know someone could make it commercial.

Then I asked the real question: why are some panties around $60, while others are only $30? Without missing a beat, my man replied, "the cheap ones have been washed." Ba-dum, BUMP. I totally set myself up for that punchline. Seriously that was the funniest thing I have yet heard, and he did it with a straight face. The man is amazing.

Site is usually NSFW, but is hilarious and informative.

Nice.
Actually I've read pages like that several times, but I tend not to believe stuff so much until I see it with my own eyes.

And it's not some dark and weird place like I expected (from many stories), but it was very light (lots of fluorescent lamps) with normal music in the background.

I'd be willing to trade some of my old underoos for some famicom games. Maybe I need to post a thread in buying/selling/trading. "My old skibbies for famicom games!!!"
