Man I wish these were my size. I have always dreamed of having a pair of these. I wish soaps were still manufactured. I salute you sir for maintaining such an epic piece of history.

True well out of my price range, I can dream though. Lol. It might be worth advertising these on the Sonic forums too as those guys will eat these up for collective purposes. Happy sales bro.

I'm going to clean up a pair of blue scorchers soon. Size 10 men's. They won't look as nice as my red pair, but what are guys willing to pay? I'm not asking nearly as much for the blue, but be realistic. Last pair of scorchers I own is black/gray/yellow in size 10 men's. I might start them at $10 and see how high they go. They're pretty wrecked. Tell me your thoughts and thanks for the advice on the red pair!

no sale sorry bro

I expect most people who want Soaps actually want them to Soap in not to look at.

You wish Soaps were being manufactured today so much that you are selling yours?

Slightly off topic but you don't happen to have any broadsides in your soap collection do you.

Just wanted everyone here to know that I settled with someone on eBay with a price and they're sold. Thanks to everyone who read this post, left a comment (positive and negative), and for keeping the sport alive. In time, my other two pairs of scorchers will be for sale in case you missed the red ones. Later!

that's really harsh to say kowalski, it's not the sellers fault by any means this is the company's fault one hundred percent. not to be mean or anything but that energy should be put into contacting the new company to give them an idea of what kind of money they are missing out on. bashing individual people isn't going to do any good, and for the record a brand new pair of red scorchers sold for over twice that recently. please make your notes directed in a way to enlighten the company to make some scorchers please as that would be the best thing to do

If you are a collector, then you are one of those who make this happen. You belong to them.

And, actually, this is how you deal with the problem. You deal with it by not playing the game and chastising those who do.

If you say, I disagree with it and I applaud it is a very confused position, or doublethink, and won't change anything.

In my first post I was not applauding capitalism, I was applauding the fact that these shoes are here at all, as a conversation starter and even as a point of controversy. In our world capitalism is the status quo. It's ugly, but it's real. If people chose to participate in the system it's their own business, and as long as they aren't affecting anyone else, it's not the place of others to force their ideals onto them.

Haha, you win dude. If you feel the need to wave a Philosophy degree in my face as proof of your superior intelligence, and also attack me ad hominem for "American doublethink" and "Belonging to them" then you can have the internet argument trophy. I had no intention of turning this into one of the sad forum flame wars that I so vehemently mocked in the past. I'm ashamed that things spiraled so quickly out of control and apologize to the rest of the board. We don't need this here.

Wow. They weren't ad hominem attacks. I make arguments, actually.

Also, not sure what you call a flame war around here but from what you are saying it sounds like if you walked into any university in England you would say their discussions were flame wars too.

Thirdly, when someone says they will 'show their hand' it doesn't mean they are about to show off. Que the opposite. It means they are letting their opponent see what they are playing with. This enables the opponent to make better, because more informed, decisions on how to continue. I told you of my academic background for this reason, as is clear in the language I used when doing so.

I would hope if I were in a discussion with someone and they had a relevant background in the topic that they would advise me of it too.


Using terms like flame war, which this clearly isn't, and "spiraled ... out of control" which this vitally hasn't, is a strange move in and of itself.


Personally I love to discuss things make arguments, receive opposing arguments and continue on to a more enlightened and educated future thanks to those discussions.

I don't understand someone thinking there is something bad in this activity.

If you don't want yo discuss it, don't. Trying to label it a flame war or announce that it has 'spiraled ... out of control' and to make apologies to the board is more than a little over reactive.

Chill.

It is just an intellectual debate in a public discussion forum relevant to the thread.

Nothing exciting is happening here, just a little, knowledge exchange. You don't need to be afraid.
