I was browsing around Ebay couple weeks ago and I stumbled on the leather jockstrap in gay sex gear section. From the picture, it looked like it was made out of high quality leather and came with a removable cod piece. The description said that it was “Pre-owned” aka used. If any of you have ever browsed around Ebay for sex gear and sex toy before, you probably already know that the vast majority of the gear and toys listed are “New.” The new items are listed for a week and usually have ZERO bids on them. Now the used gear and toys, that is a different story. The leather jockstrap with the removable cod piece below, was listed at $39.99 and quickly went into a bidding war and finally ended at $100.00 plus shipping.

With gay sex gear and toys, “Used” seem to have more value to them than new. Nobody bids on the new never used items. But used ones that start the price at a reasonable price end up in a bidding war. Three months ago, I saw a used leather cockring listed at a starting price. It was $5.00 and it ended at $15.00 after a 5 day auction. The similar leather cockring in the box and priced at $6.00 with free shipping did not get a single bid. When it comes to gay sex gear and sex toys, “Used” has much more value to the purchaser than new.
