My wife's version of the garage sale Rolex

There is a Goodwill near my house and my wife enjoys stopping in there about once a week. She'll frequently find kids clothes new on the hanger for almost nothing. Well, she scored big this weekend. She found 3 pairs of Salvatore Ferragamo shoes and one pair of Guccis, all brand new in the boxes. I looked up the Ferragamos and they run about $450 retail. My first thought was that they were fake, but I looked them up and they checked out.

Ahh...you guys found where my wife's stash of impulsively bought and totally unused shoes went.

Kidding aside (not about the wife's impulsive shopping, not that i'm complaining ),
what a great find Ed, you're wife must be very happy.

I'll bet she was a happy camper Ed! You never know what you'll find at Goodwill. My wife came home the other night and had bought a new pc desk at a garage sale. The only problem was I had to go get it. Man that sucker was heavy. On a good note they had a cool Hardrock Cafe Tshirt from Copenhagen for a Dime
