I appreciate your offering them here for the story value. And as
disillusioned as I am, the attraction of these sandals is
understandable, so you need to cash all the way in for these.
I think you should go after the rich guys in Fairfield, the
Zimmermans, or whoever else are the names who have the bucks and
the belief system.
If I was him, I'd approach Howard Settle with an offer of 25000 USD
and see if he goes for it. I bet he would, he seems very devoted. In
the mean time, I'd try to get as many pictures as I could with the
sandals in them. One person possibly worth approaching would be SSRS,
who is reputed to have a picture of M's feet in sandals on his
personal altar. I believe his main assistant would be a good contact,
as he's an American. The advantage of selling it to SSRS or his
foundation is that the person who purchased them would be using for
his own sadhana, which in turn would be used to benefit others
(presumably).
They're extraordinarily rare, as there only is one pair known to
exist. I'd contact SSRS's rep. Michael Fischman.
