Hi! I wore one, but it broke! got pulled to hard and snapped apart on the "s" - I guess it's the weakest letter.
I have seen several "civilians" wearing them around the city, so I guess the word is out there...I just love turning the round legs of my Iron Horse!

try to find a store (i've seen them at a couple of stores in my area) or wait til the backlog is done at wearyellow.com!

I agree with caligurl! If you are willing to spend $10.00 on one, then just wait for a few days for them to replenish the stock and give the extra money as a donation! They are just backordered, not discontinued. People who profit on charity items pi$$ me off!Originally posted by caligurl

I have a few extra of the adult size and the youth size. If anyone would like one e-mail me at krichard2@juno.com I would be glad to mail one of to you for the cost of $1.00. I am also sickened by the people selling them on e-bay!

They piss me off too. I'm starting a campaign to fill up these ebayers email boxes with the question -I agree with caligurl! If you are willing to spend $10.00 on one, then just wait for a few days for them to replenish the stock and give the extra money as a donation! They are just backordered, not discontinued.

"Are you donating all profits from this auction or are you just making money off of the livestrong fundraiser?"
I know it won't stop them, but maybe they'll feel a twinge of guilt about their opportunism.Last edited by Deanna; 08-05-2004 at 01:29 PM.

May be shipping soon
Hi Everyone,
I just checked my credit card, and my order and donation were billed to my account on July 29th, so I think that they might be shipping soon.
If anyone needs one, I can mail some out as soon as they get here. I'll handle shipping. Email me offlineLast edited by Pedal Wench; 08-05-2004 at 05:17 PM.

EBay and the bracelets
Don't know if it'll do any good, but I sent an email to the Live Strong contact address at the LAF site with a reference to the EBay situation. Maybe there's something they can do legally...
no regrets!

Ebay
I have received a few response to questions I sent to the ebay auctioners. Believe what you want:
I do appreciate the email and your concern. Yes indeed I will be making a significant contribution to his foundation once the auctions have been completed. I have been a fan and a supporter of his even before his cancer diagnosis, and his survival is an inspiration not only to myself but everyone else as well. I'm very happy that I'm in a position to donate such an amount, because without these auctions I wouldn't be.I donated A large sum of money to the LAF over 6 thousand dollars, these bracelets were given to me in return, So I am selling them and donating half of whatI get backAnd my favorite:Only the first dollar is going directly to the foundation but all of the sales are benefiting those of us who are unable to work in normal job settings. For instance, I am typing this email while lying in bed. My computer is set up on the other half of my bed due to my disabilities.
I guess they had no idea what the LAF is!?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I just came from my lbs and they have no livestrong, but have ordered more. They said don't buy them off anyone but an authorized 'dealer', Bike shop, sporting goods store, retail store, etc.

A few to spare!
Hi Ladies,
Now that mine are here, I have some extras. If anyone wants one, PM me offline.
