If they were shell they are certainly worth picking up. Shell can be brought back from looking pretty bad as long as the leather isn't cracked or cut.

All the time. They know up front what the shipping is going to cost, and are always prepared to pay the price. Sometimes the shipping is more than the selling price, it's crazy, but if you gotta have something, you gotta have it.. I guess.

had a feeling i SHOULD'VE picked them up, just wasn't sure since one shoe had a little damage to the eyelet (shoelace was starting to tear into the eyelet, which I imagine is repairable in some way (maybe added metal eyelets? and they were resoled, not by AE.
Haha, but when I saw them initially, I didn't see any micro-creasing and I was like
Being they were my first possible shell sighting, but I couldn't check the model number until I got home, I neglected to pick them up.

Nice, ties too
Had some luck tonight.
Hermes scarf. No stains or pulls, just wrinkled. It was missing the price tag, which had me sweating, until the lady at the register said "Is two bucks okay"?

good job on the cleaning. Maybe you can paint the metal eyelets to a darker color? Gives it a cockeyed look. Reminds me of this guy:

depends on where you will be. I had some decent luck in Sioux Falls - but take that with a grain of salt since I currently thrift in the wasteland known as Iowa.
Going to be heading out West for awhile soon here - going to be in South Dakota for about a week. Going to assume thrifting in the area would be a waste of time.
