How to get a good deal on AE Strands?

[doublemazaa]

Need to get a nice pair of brown wingtips. I've always just bought cheap shoes I'd like to get something that'll last a long time. I'd probably be able to swallow the retail costs but searching around here it sounds like they can be had for significantly less if one looks in the right place.

I live in Seattle so the only option local option is Nordstroms.

Any tips on how to score these shoes for anything significantly below retail?

Thanks.

1) Call of AE for seconds.
2) Ebay
3) This forum's sale section
4) Nordstrom Sale


These are pretty popular btw, on ebay they go well above other AE shoe's, yet well below retail price.

The strand is not a wingtip.

I would wait until shoebuy has a 20% coupon again, which is like every other week, plus another 10% for signing up for their emails and whatever cashback you can get thru b of a or ebates or somethign like that.

Indeed it's not! It makes perfect sense once I thought about it but previously considered wingtips any shoe with brougeing.

Approximately how much would a pair of seconds cost me direct from AE?

Thanks!

Strand was $199 at the Seattle Nordstrom just 8 weeks ago. See what happens during their next Men's sale.
