I just got my first pair for $60 and I am excited!

That's a great deal!

Having a Varsity official work at a sports store and giving us his discount helps a ton!

How financially creative do you feel? Make yourself a middleman and you'd probably make a chunk of change from the regular people on this forum. Heck, I'll buy another pair from you for, say, 70.00. Might be the easiest 10.00 you'd ever make.
Of course, there's probably some sort of forum rule against such a thing.

My guess is that the friend's discount might go away in a very unsatisfactory way if it becomes apparent that it is being abused by passing it along to several people. Most employee discounts have terms on who it can be used for...usually immediate family. Beyond that, it can become grounds for termination.

Yep, and buying 15 pair of the same shoes, in 7 different sizes, would be a huge red flag.

I'll do it .... send me the $70 and I promise to go buy and ship you your shoes. Actually, might be the easiest $70 I'll ever make.

Is It Legal To Have Two Different Forum Usernames ???
 

Is this Mark Padgett? C'mon Mark Padgett, we know that this is really you. Fess up.

Oh Billy, Billy, Billy (Caddyshack)
 

While I can see where you're going, I see two things wrong with this thought process:

1) No mention of a HOT mom, and 2) Mark wouldn't claim to be from Pittsburgh, PA! ;)

Get well Mark!

And I never asked for his PIN ... :D

Called them this morning. Got the shoes for $85, added a couple of whistles for $5 each.

Honig's wanted $100 for the same shoes.

I haven't broken out my new one's yet, as last year's version are holding up just fine! Good to have the new one's on the shelf though! ;)
