Went at lunch... Picked up an Aquascutum POW suit, no size but probably a 36-38

Also a really nice Bobby Jones wool / cashmere navy w/ blue windowpane windbreaker-style jacket, size small

pics tonight

Interesting...

The oldest pair of Allen Edmonds I've ever come across, check out the label, 8D

Pre 1982-83 IIRC I think that is when they phased out that logo.

Hai guise,
I don't want to derail this too much but I'd appreciate your feedback since many of you are ebay pros. Any way, I recently sold a pair of Kirkland dress pants lol and today I got this message:

Dear steveoly32,

Regarding item 330732739368, the description states "You are bidding on a "pair" of Kirkland NWT Signature navy blue dress pants..." which is the reason I bid on the item, however, only one pair of pants, which are very nice by the way, arived today. Please advise.

Thanks,

So the dude is literally wanting two pairs of pants for a pair of pants. He even refers to pants as "pair" of pants in his response! Am I grossly underestimating ebays semantics and am I therefore in the wrong for listing a pair of pants and then shipping (1) pair of pants, or can I tell this guy to go ************? How would I list a pair of pants? A pant? WTF.

The kicker, this winning bid was $9.95 with free shipping so after shipping and fees, it's a worthless sale. Should I just say I will refund upon the return of the pants? I'd probably be better off donating them and taking NWT retail deduction.

Thanks,
Steve

Wow, very nice. That's a who's who list of hot **** right there.

Must be a scam. Surely no one can be that stupid. Did you have more than one "pair" of pants pictured? If not, I'd tell him to take a hike personally.

I'm not even sure what to say to that. Something like "I don't understand, you just said you got a pair of pants, which is what it was listed as"

Maybe he's just messing with you?

I hear ya, but his feedback looked fine.

INORITE? At first when I read this I thought he was being a nice guy alerting me that I might have screwed up and sent two pairs of pants rather than just one pair. It's so stupid it's maddening.

I think I will just politely message him back but in a "Are you kidding me" sort of way.

WTF!! I would ask him to return it and then charge him a 50% moron fee. Maybe I should rethink how I have been listing all these pairs of shoes too.

Again, interesting....all round my size as well. I have been making too many purchases the last few months.

haha hilarious. Just kill him with kindness and offer to refund him if he wants to return them

I went this route. I really don't think I am being off-base. However I would hate to get negged over something this frivolous.

Dear ggamx,

Hi Gordon,
When I read this message I can't help but think that you are kidding, dense or a straight up scam artist. The auction was for a (singular) pair of pants, not multiple pairs of pants. With certain articles and garment, a singular item is referred to as a pair - i.e. pants, trousers, eyeglasses, scissors, etc. If I were selling multiple items, I would have referred to them as "two pairs" or "fifteen pairs" or "nine hundred pairs" - note the pluralization and quantity.

Even in your message to me, you refer to as receiving "one pair of pants" so I am not sure as to the confusion.

With this, I feel that I did describe the auction item correctly and accurately. I am sorry that you misinterpreted the item description. Enjoy the pair of pants. BTW, the Kirkland Made in Italy pants are very nice, and quite the deal for less than $10.

Steve
