The cheapest pair of boots

Okay, guess how much these cost me...


ONLY $1!!! I'm not kidding you.

I was browsing around eBay and I saw these pair of Underground creeper boots being auctioned starting at $1. I put in my bid, and strangely enough no one else bid on top of me. I won them for $1, with $14 postage.

I know that Underground boots generally cost at least $150 AUD, more like $200 due to the weak Australian dollar at the moment. I felt really sorry for the seller, I think he was expecting more money. He should have put a minimum bidding amount. When the boots arrived, I saw that he paid $34 dollars for shipping, so I felt even more sorry for him. Poor bloke.

Hey, at least I got nice shoes.

I get lucky like that on eBay occasionally too. Generally, not so much with the postage though. Our dollar is about as lousy as yours these days so I stay off there - too depressing when I figure out what something's really going to cost me.

They are nice shoes! :)

Score! That's awesome! A wonderful treat for Halloween. :D
(I guess the seller got a rather expensive lesson about eBay.)

Oh gosh! What a find! I love Underground shoes, but would never be able to afford them, guess it does pay to check ebay!
