Post by: Simo63 on April 02, 2012, 11:24:53 pm: Surely he's put the decimal place in the wrong spot ..... I could commission Ralph Lauren to custom make me a pair in pink sparkly leather for less than $6500 ... bwahahahahaha

Hey I've got an idea .... if someone here buys them then I'll pick them up when we are over there in December and bring them back for you .. hand delivered ... in a style that is in keeping with such expensive boots .... and I'll only charge 50% of their sale price. Sound fair? ;D

My wife thinks they way I hold on to old stuff I have a sickness. Might show her this, "see sweetness, its very valuable".

Post by: VMX247 on April 03, 2012, 11:28:47 am: A WA vmxer picked up a pair just the other week, brand new in original box for $40..
Bargains still out there.. :P
on another topic,he's now finding that Dubin is no good on the new boots as his boots for the last 10 odd years havent lasted. It could be that the tanning process of the leather is different from back in the day ,but the Dubin is still the same.... :)
cheers

Post by: mike1948 on April 03, 2012, 06:00:04 pm: Fumblethumbs!
To complete the previous reply, I have a fortune in my cupboard - Full Bore smooth sole boots which are not plain old ordinary inexperienced new stuff, but have graced the tracks from Christmas Hills to Cairns. Gotta be much more valuable - Anybody got a spare $8K?

Post by: MX? on April 03, 2012, 06:43:07 pm: :o Geez!
They'd be a bargain...if only he had the original box. ;D
I like this line:
"I have tried them on but never wore them. I have been saving them just for you. "
