Lonely jandals lucrative

Wellington: The man behind an unusual online auction says he started it, largely for his own entertainment, after he kept breaking one jandal.

Greg Clark’s three leftfooted jandals sold for $190 yesterday morning.

‘‘. . . I’ve blown my right jandal at the start of the last three summers, so I thought . . . I’d try and sell the lefts that I was keeping in the hope that they might one day be useful,’’ he said.

Mr Clark said the auction ended up getting about 75,000 views and people asked about 140 questions. — RNZ
