Hello, I was at the metro plaza last night and visited nord rack again to no avail.
However, I did come across a spanking brand new Black Fairfax in 10 D there. Usually the shoes there go through some roughage , but ever once in a while a just arrived pristine one comes.

anyways, not the best price but i bought em for 183 dollars. (169.9 +tax)

i picked them up in case someone was interested , you know , someone who doesnt have a rack nearby and needs a fairfax.
send to you for 183 +whatever it cost to ship to you. i show a pic and the receipt.

if not , ill just return them. no problem.

That is very nice of you. I'm not interested in AE but that is an altruistic gesture and I couldn't let it go without comment. This forum wouldn't be a community if it weren't for actions like yours.

I hope you'd tack on a couple of extra bucks to account for paypal fees. I think paypal is a convenient service and all, but I can't stand the size of the bite they feel they have to take for providing it. I don't know if they have a patent on the business method or method of transaction, but if they don't, I hope some other company will provide a similar service at less cost.

Altruism is an unselfish interest in the welfare of others, not being a pushover or an easy mark. I didn't see where you had too much to gain from the transaction you proposed. It's not a tithe, it's StyleForum. You can try to argue semantics with me all you want but I still think what you are doing is nice, and I am not taking it back.

most know here i try to minimze paypal usage. i dislike them and want to ban their use. those who dealt with me here usually provide personal check.

well, altruistic in the fact that i go to the rack often and sometimes get stuff that i just like to pass on to others here that may be of interest to them. just for friendship and looking out for each other sartorially sake.

but often i go there to get stuff to put on ebay for profit or to sell here for profit , and when i do , i let everybody know beforehand there is a finder fee
