Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

One thing that makes me angry,

“One per customer” and how it cant be policed.

You may not be aware, but currently Harrod’s is selling limited edition 75th anniversary ruby slippers from The Wizard Of Oz.

These shoes are limited to one per person in the shop. These sold out pretty much with in the first week. Sure enough within a few days they started appearing on ebay.

These shoes cost in the store £29 with 10% going towards charity.

Currently there are 5 on Ebay from the same seller, with one auction greater than £100. Out of the 70 auctions with these shoes (the majority all from the same sellers) only TWO have listed them with some money towards charity. One at 10% and one at 50% neither of which have any bids at time of ranting.

I find it disgusting how one person can buy five pairs of these shoes (that we know of) and make a massive profit on them.

Luckily they had the last shipment in two days because we got there, so we got a pair. Please don’t think that I am bitter because the MRS missed out.

What winds me up is the gentleman in front stated to the cashier that he was buying two pairs for his girlfriend as he wasn’t sure what size shoe she was. He was flatly refused and had to guess. Now I know there is the chance that he could have been lying to get two pairs, but let’s for an moment suppose that he was being decent and honest. How is it that someone has managed to by FIVE pairs for the sole reason of profiteering? It disgraceful, selfish and I hope that perpetrator meets a delightfully sticky end.
