Hey guys, sorry I was away from the forums for a bit. I finally went there last week, apprehensive that because 2-3 weeks had passed, they might not "remember" what was offered to me.

The store that made me the offer has a very limited selection (Boston financial district) - I got the impression from talking to the SA, who didn't know what I was there for, that they didn't stock any GF, but I could be wrong since I didn't ask specifically.

I got an ESF shirt with french cuffs and I got two ties since they had a selection of ties that were 50% off. They don't stock ESFs so the store manager ordered one online and I should get it this week.

So I didn't come away with some really expensive stuff, which I wouldn't have felt comfortable asking for anyway, but I did get a BB Fitzgerald, an ESF shirt and two ties for 499.00. I can only hope there are more such mistakes in my future!

Ask the Manager to confirm it and the value that is intended.

Don't be greedy and pick the most expensive thing you can, the mistake was hardly so serious as to merit such generosity anyway. i am sure though that you never make mistakes....
