Polo RALPH LAUREN 'Tellman' $185 deal or no deal

[mikeynyc]

All,
I have the opportunity to get these in brown from GVH for $185.
Of course I'd like to find em for less but in your travels, do you think this is a good price?

thanks for your thoughts.

yes. get them. If GVH has a ton of these, you might see the prices go down with each subsequent auction, but I would not risk it.

I just bought them for 202.50.

I think you're getting a good deal.

In the words of Ned Flanders, "I order you to buy those shoes."

I think people got them for $160 to $180 exclusive of tax or shipping, at best. I wouldn't qibble over getting them for twenty bucks less or so. Go for it.

C&J correct?
Just wondering about the fit. I have the Redding boots in the same size (8.5D) and they're just a wee bit snug.

C&J

Initiially mine were a little snug (narrow) but now are perfect

How are you getting these at that price? From the GVH site they seem to be at $349 for me, which doesn't seem like much of a bargain over C+J handgrades at PLAL. Am I missing something or are you winning bids on Ebay?

Take that back. You would so.

Definitely buy 'em .. good price on a well-made shoe that will last you a few years to come.

argoth, more than likely it's a second chance offer from GVH - he probably bid at 185 but lost the auction.

No, I'd quibble over Todd giving me crap for spotting a cash register error in the Rodeo Drive store. I wouldn't quibble over not finding a $160 offer over $180, and I did in fact get my Tellmans for $180 plus tax.

Your fixation with me is very flattering, I have to admit.

A few Tellman auctions ended today at around $200. GVH is making second chance offers so it seems he's got a large stock of Tellmans again. Sometimes it's better to NOT win an auction... $185 is a great price for these. If they weren't so narrow, I'd get some.

 

[argoth]

Thanks for the replies guys. The auctions I'm involved in don't end for another couple of days. So, I guess wish me luck on not winning and good fortunes on reasonable seconds.

Hmm, how does sizing run compared to AE? I'm 8.5 in Park Avenue.

I'm 9.5 in the AE Park Avenue and wear a 9 in the Tellmans.
