Same guy had a pair last time, and I think in a different size. I’m guessing they just can’t find there size, because he’s not making any money at that price. With tax he paid close to $800, and eBay/PayPal will cost him close to 10% of the sale.

Yeah, I remember this guy also selling a pair of bourbon HMs during the last TS. Can't remember if it was the same size as this one. I only remember him selling that pair because he's literally one suburb south of me and I wondered if I maybe ran into him at the event in Chicago. If I'm remembering right, he had them listed for over $1K, originally. No idea if he sold them, or what they eventually went for.

It is a shame that he took a limited pair away from someone who really wanted it. I usually give someone the benefit of the doubt on these things, but seeing him do this for 2 trunk shows in a row, probably removes that benefit. Seeing a price that's pretty much at the break-even point is really puzzling, though. Anyway, not my monkey, not my circus. I'm moving on and not losing any sleep over it.

I was angry too when I saw this listing, until someone mentioned that he's not going to make much money after shipping and Ebay fees. I'm 100% certain if AE accepted a return that someone else on here would pick them up.
Depends on his level as a seller, but he’s going to cough up at least $115 in fees between eBay and PayPal.

I don’t know how much his sales tax was on the original sale, but I doubt he’s clearing a Jackson.

He also runs the risk of buyer fraud, where the buyer returns a box of rocks ( or similar).

I've been doing Sous Vide for the last few years. Steaks and center cut pork chops have never been more tender, juicy, or consistently perfect before.

There's something magic about low and slow.

Sous Vide is a great way to cook meat, so more control than just a pan or grill. If you like juicy bratwurst then you should Sous Vide them at 150f for 2 hours then gently brown in a pan for a few minutes without breaking the skin.
Medium rare pork chops are the best!

I agree, the staple is what bothers me, not just for superficial reasons. As long as the glue isn't structural, fine. But you can even see the glint of the staple coming through on the other boot a bit too. Here they are from a distance "in full glory", shaved on commando

sorry man... this is how mine came.

I am liking these stealth socks. View attachment 1259338 And the shoes. View attachment 1259344
Did they sneak onto your feet?

Just trying to figure out what makes them stealth lol.

Outdoor things today, these still need some breaking inward so they got the nod. Truman black burgundy ramblers.

That is a gorgeous color, especially on boots!

Omg, all these shaved shipments inspired me to call my store. Turns out they already received one of my pairs, and my shaved is shipped and arriving Friday! They just happened to have the wrong phone number on file for me! What luck, hah.
