Found a 20.00$ pair of whites smoke jumpers

[056kid]

They are my size and everything. Went to the little consignment shop to get them and some damn hobo has them on lay away till he gets his unemployment check I told the lady I'd pay 40, but she would not give them up. hopefully the guy will go out and buy some crack or something instead of the boots. What a bunch of BS...

 

[slowp]

They'll last you 50 years if you get them....:hmm3grin2orange:

the damn homeless ruin everything, thats a pretty sick score if he winds up forgetting to filter his rubbing alcohol through a loaf of bread and poisons himself, my best score was a like new pair of Hathorn Hi-line calks for 80.00, still trying to break em in

Ever since you are jobless you are a trouble maker and don't get up till the sun is shining. The FS must have had a calming effect on you. Next thing you'll be posting pics of guns and booze.:hmm3grin2orange::yoyo:

I no longer have to deal with the issues of making the agency look bad. Shoot, I can drag out my Hampton Lumber Cowlitz Division T-Shirt that I bought for 50 cents somewhere and wear it out in public now!

Life is good.

You didn't find a deal on these boots, apparently a hobo did.
Then you offer to undermine his find and steal his deal.
You call it BS that a man has rights to something you want and can't get?

hmm...

I hope he gets them and they help him obtain or maintain gainful employment and perhaps make his life better. Maybe he's a Veteran, a father, a son living back with parents due to hard times... no telling.
I wish him well, and to a much lesser extent hope that you area able to make a great score like this guy did someday...

Money rules. If you don't have 20 in your pocket you missed out.

Morals, Values and the Right Thing

The store owner/clerk has integriy.
Most anyone else in your shoes...errrr..Boots would of asked that if the sale fell through would it be okay if I left my name and number!

You assume I did not. .

Or maybe he is just a bum.

Or maybe he is just a bum.

or maybe he is, but he very well may be a bum with a dang nice set of boots...

doesn't matter if he's a bum or not, it's not a reason to try to take what he already has in lay a way.

IMHO the best way to handle it would be to ask to stick a note in the boots that says "I REALLY like these boots and would like to buy you a nice replacement set or give you twice what you paid for them, here's my phone number"
or some such.

Well i went over there this morning to try and get them. The hobo had not arrived yet, but claimed he was on the way during the clerks and his phone call. So I guess I lost out. The woman even said that she was somewhat worried that he was just going to sell them for a profit. MOTHER####ERSSS

that sucks, call back in a while and see if he really was on his way

 

[056kid]

Gonna make one more visit sometime today, then its a closed case. .

 

[Sport Faller]

I would, that's waaay to sweet of a deal to let some scruffy bum get them, flip them for 5 times that, and then go score some sweet sweet crank. he could say he's on the way and he could also say he's the King of Siam but that might not be the case

 

[GASoline71]

Nice goin' Kid... it could be Jesus comin' back an needin' a new pair of boots. But nooooooooooo... you gotta try and make a deal to rip him off... Gee whizz...

Well Gary if you see some Vibram sole boot prints in the clouds, that would be him, because the hobo got the boots. All my nagging scared him enough into paying 30.00 for them when he came to get them. I do think that was a once in a life time thing though, they where pretty much new. .

 

[GASoline71]

Oh well mang. Hope ya find another pair.

If I where to offer you the correct fund-age based on a scale founded by the boots in question, I would offer you 2.00$ for them boots.
