    Fake Ralph Lauren Polo shirt???

    Actually, it looks like you sort of got taken. The shirt itself seems legit but the car looks screened instead of embroidered. Is that the case? It looks like somebody took a plain navy polo and screened all this extra stuff on it. I take back what I said about counterfeit incentives, if they...

    Fake Ralph Lauren Polo shirt???

    Brooks Brothers the Steakhouse

    I don't think there's any reason for buyers or sellers to be annoyed with each other in the bargaining process. Here are my thoughts from a bargaining theory standpoint, not directed at anybody in particular. Buyers: Sellers have costs too. If you're increasing their costs in terms of one...

    Need a pair of boots to wear to the office in snow

    I just ordered some Alico boots from Sierra Trading Post for around 150 with coupon to serve the same purpose. Like the others I'm sure you can do better if you up your budget even just a tad.
