Yes, they were $1500 (USD). I hadn't really researched how much they were going for. Honestly I had it in my mind that I would be willing to pay up to $1000 for them and figured they'd probably be less than that, which was why I was so surprised.
I really wanted them (and still do). I went back and forth with myself for several days but in the end I just don't think they are worth $1500, especially considering that in all reality I would probably be too embarrassed to wear them outside of my house.
My purchase code is expired by now but I suppose if I ever change my mind I could try requesting one again.
