Title: Do you have Mrs. Gooch feet, want to donate to Fatty Fund, and like dope kicks?
Post by: Trim on August 10, 2014, 04:02:40 PM
JMart has graciously donated these bizarro Cortezes he found in Houston to be sold, auctioned, raffled or whatever could put them on the large feet of an EMAW and get a little money into the Fatty Fund.

They're the usual classic cortezes but mod'd with flywire and free-like soles.  They're these but black with purple "trim."

But, they're a size 12.5.  They run a little small, but it'll still take a large pair of feet to fill them.

If you want them, propose a donation and we'll figure it out.  If there's more than one person who wants them, we'll set up an auction.  If nobody can use them now, we'll do something else or move them at the next FattyFest.

Opening bid of a $50 theoretically tax-deductible* donation?

Done.

Cool.  I'll give it a couple days to see if anybody beats that, and if not, they're yours.  I'm sure they'll stretch a bit. :dunno:

@TrimGoEMAW @goEMAW I can do $70 definitely, they'd go great with my EMAW Hosie shirt.

We'll give this until 9pm tomorrow, or maybe just a little past 9 if I fall behind watching Bachelor in Paradise.

Congrats @AaronCThomson!  Now I may have to figure out how to ship some Nikes to China.  Sounds like a job for pissclams.

This is a very good thread title. A lot of gE'rs could learn something here.

Take them to a UPS Store, tell them what you're shipping, where you are shipping them to and how much they are worth. done.

Good news.  They probably only have to go to Tennessee now.

Too much Oxford comma for my taste.
