Boot Sale

Of course... size 8 and size 10...

and my dad is a 9

LOL

Figures.

*emeleel* · #3 10-11-2003, 11:22 PM

Considering the fact that these are originally $224 boots

I'm sure it's a price mistake - and they very often catch those. But if it does go through - WooHoo!

Who did not get greedy and only ordered one for hubby.... and one for Ebay

Doh! I just did the same thing, Melanie.

Was too good to pass up.

I had trouble getting them into my cart. Don't know which size I ended up with.

Dan says "Thanks Amy!" He normally wears a 9, but will try the 10. If it doesn't fit....well, Melanie had an excellent idea.

..
Just one here also.

If I can't find someone to buy them cheaply, I'll donate them somewhere...

I was lucky! The 8's fit my hubby and son and 10's for my two nephews. 6 pair with 18.00 shipping for about 28 all together. I got four pairs for my son and husband and two pairs for my nephew, so that is 6 pair altogether. Thank you!

You know what they say: "you snooze, you lose"

Next time wake me up, okay?

Now remember what happened to me when I posted a great bargain....everyone BUT ME got it!

Still waiting for my rain coat in Seattle...could have really used it this weekend!

Happy bargain hunting!

*emeleel* · #12 10-13-2003, 11:16 PM

Y'all who missed don't feel too bad - it WAS a pricing error, they caught it, and the orders are being cancelled.

Ah well.... on to the next bargain!

Thanks anyway, Amy!

**amykhar** · #13 10-13-2003, 11:21 PM

Oh well. I tried.

Amy

*emeleel* · #14 10-13-2003, 11:23 PM

Now, now, don't feel bad! We

you anyway!

**amykhar** · #15 10-13-2003, 11:31 PM

Glad somebody does

**Joubert**[$] · #16 10-13-2003, 11:39 PM

I got the same email Margaret did. I, um, may have bought more than one pair.

You know what is hilarious? I found several dozen listings for the exact same boots on eBay within hours of the post here. What are all those people going to do when their order gets cancelled?

magenta321 · #17 10-13-2003, 11:41 PM

They're going to get neg feedback, that is for sure!!!

OFCOL!

First of all, it was obviously a pricing error, and I think most of us knew in our hearts it would *probably* get cancelled. So that's reason #1 not to list immediately.

Reason #2 is that nearly everyone had the same idea - and you gotta wait a while until the glut has dried up before you list. It's hard to wait, I know, but if there a billion dozen listings for the same item, you're not going to get a marginally decent price. (You'd probably make back your investment, but that's not the point, now is it?)

**lynnzop**[$] · #19 10-13-2003, 11:53 PM

Oh bummer! I got confirmation from Amazon earlier today that they were shipping...must have gotten the "oops" message later in the day (work email addy)

magenta321 · #20 10-13-2003, 11:53 PM

Not only that, but, they said they weren't shipping for several days.

Have the freaking item in hand before you list!

I've had Amazon string me along for MONTHS on items I've ordered a couple times now. Nothing is a sure bet.

I haven't gotten the "oops" yet.

Maybe there is still hope?
