The great eBay letdown of 2005.

Late last year, some of you may recall that I was overjoyed about finding a pair of the following Acupunctures on eBay and that I purchased said shoes (along with two other pairs).


Having arrived home from the airport after coming back from Sydney (where I was ripped off by the dodgy cab driver - but that's another story), I found a parcel post collection card in my letterbox. So I walked to the post office in scorching heat and picked up what was surely going to be my black & white Acupunctures.

Upon arriving at home, I tore open the bag... only to discover these:

I love white shoes. These are some bizarro shoe colour. After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing with the seller, I decided that I would just keep these and use them as my 'crap' shoes (i.e. for moving, painting, any sort of physical labour).

Anyway... I'm still going to use eBay. I just might take a while to get over these shoes.
