In this thread
So I take it.
So I overlook just a teeny, tiny detall of this teeny, tiny item on MacResQ's web site
So I wait for my delivery, Airborne Ground, I think it was. After all I'm patient.
So it arrives.
1 box, approximately 10 x 12 x 4
1 invoice 8.5 x 11 x ?
1 bubble pack (rolled) 6 x 8
AND, taH-DUM
1 foot, that's riiiight, 1 . . . not 1 ea set of 4, just 1
See the evidence . . .Here
Sure enough, the web page says . . . This is one foot only
Did I see that? 'Course not. Call it a Senior Moment (in between the laughs, or were those tears?)
BIG TIME . . .tiny detail . . . tiny feet
PS: One more significant detail, right there on the box, just above the Signature Required label is another label adminishing the eager customer to Please inspect and test your product immediately . . .
Oh! my! All this entertainment for only $10.46, incl tax . . . . (or have I made the Friday Funnies?)

I can have them for about $30 CDN. from the Mac store here, in a strip of 5 feet.
It was a couple of mine that fell off on the Lombard, you can't drag these PB's even just a little on a bare surface... when warm the glue softens and there go the feet.

Don't know the real look on your face after opening the package, but the vision conjured up in my mind is a gem.
Read many years ago that a $15,000 auto (a real long time ago) would cost $75,000 if assembled of and at the cost of all the constituent parts from a replacement parts catalog. Wonder what a Pismo is worth as a sum of its replacement parts?

I still like my Wallstreet "feet", 8 for $ 1.49, TruValue hardware.

Ebay pismo feet bid at $1.99 or Buy for $4.99
See Jen, just another example of what a guy will go through for 4 feet.
2 feet is just too confining
Just think, after a long day at the sponge docks, coming home to a pair of happy feet.
You could also have twice as many shoes, and maybe a bigger closet to put them in!!!
OK back to the shoe department>>>>>>>>
Dick with a dinner place mat, (you know the kind with the rubber on the bottom), and an exacto knife, I could make you a set in 15 minutes.

Your "image" only goes part way in representing the facts
Kris
At my age, you takes your excitements anywheres you can get 'em
TrueValue or Ace is always a good source for Saturday thrills. 
Sandbox
I suggest you run a seminar on PB Feets . . . you have the beginning of its syllabus right here
Further datapoint
I returned my "item" in a Nr 10 envelope, despite MacResQ's admonition that any RMA items must have all packing materials, manuals . . . accessories and documentation . . . included to avoid a packaging fee. Stay tuned.

DVForge, makers of the ultimate iPod stand, developed a solid metal, mirror-finish, hand-polished, and absolutely gorgeous product called the DVBaseTi, and what’s left of them are going for a mere $79.99. You cannot buy a better stand at any price, and when these are sold out I doubt you’ll be able to get one ever again, unless you happen to find one on eBay selling for 2 or 3 times more.
