Thank you, Sal. My main reason for posting it here is in the hopes that readers might know appropriate people and let them know. No, I never tried to sell them here. They were featured in David Wants To Fly, if anyone saw that. To me, for these, $1,000 is one of those small amounts I wouldn't consider. Do you really think anyone would be searching ebay for a pair of M's sandals? Perhaps I don't understand how ebay works. My age group is eligible for full retirement at 66. The more years I wait, the more I would get per month. I hope to secure another job, but could very much use a significant influx of cash in the not too distant future... I hope not to have to resort to state sponsored programs, but one never knows...
