YES, I paid dearly for well used boots.

Strangely enough, it felt like somebody was kicking me in the a$$ when I hit the 'pay' button!

I wish I had seen this site (DSS) earlier!

Oh well, I can only hope that will be the last time I screw myself...

Later, Phil

Sorry to tell ya Phil...  Just checked my credit card statement and I was charged $43.36 by David Silver Spares and $1.30 by my credit card company for "foreign transaction fee".  So, my total was a whopping $44.66.  Thought you might want to know that.  Also, my boots came in today.

I know you're always looking for a bargain, Phil, so I'll let you buy my boots for $100.

 ;D ;D   ;D ;D   ;)   ;)   8) 

Wow, I'm so happy for you! (In my most sarcastic tone.) LIke I didn't feel bad enough, but sometimes when you screw-up in such a fantasic manner, you just got to tell on yourself!  :o

AND as for taking them off and selling them on ebay... I don't think it would be worth the $40 'savings/cost recovery' for all that labor and knuckle busting. Those things were a ROYAL PAIN to install!

Later, Phil

This is such a long thread, ...

Any of you guys still kids at home? Remember the 'Lambchop' song:

It's the thread that never ends, it goes on and on my friends, some people started writing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue writing it forever just because, it's the thread that never ends...

Somebody will singing this in thier head all day.

Later, Phil

Phil,
If you HAD bought the new boots it would have been really EASY to install -mine now take 15 mins to get off/on with clamps tightened and airbox on...no more damagaed hands....(I thought this would make you feel better  ;) 8))

Live and learn...Ebay is NOT cheap!

cheers
