I resold my taupe oxfords on Ebay recently. I loved the look of them, but it turned out they were too narrow and breaking them in further wouldn't have solved the problem. I got the money via PayPal. Then today I bought train tickets to go home to my family for my birthday in November and paid with PayPal. I had totally forgotten about the shoes, but the money on account almost exactly matched the price of the train tickets. Shoes or spending the birthday at home with the family? No question.
