It is not included, but you may do that option merely by paying the premium ($700) on top of the gavel price for the auction.

Cheers,

Fok,

So value is $1600 then?

Cannot wait for LS and BE auctions!!!

I suppose that that would depend on your choices, but yes, I would say that $1600 is a good estimate of the bottom value. Probably $1750 is a better estimate of the "average" value. And remember that the pair that Tom has offered are MTO, which in itself, incurs a premium.

Really hope you all continue to sleep on the Neo Nouveau auction

Ok yeah, I have a Simply on order already and was going to get a boot or one more soon, just want to get details in so I know what I want to bid

A question about taxes - I'm guessing for those of us not in the US, we can't claim anything back on these 'donations' even though RMCH is 'international' and has branches in our own countries?

Come on guys! Street value on the RLBL alone is $145!

A mega staple too. The black neat was a favorite of Cary Grant:

How do I feel about ties? If I had only one to choose, then I think a black foulard, not too wide nor too narrow, is best, as it’s acceptable with most clothes. An expensive tie is not a luxury—the wrinkles fall out quicker and the knot will hold better.
