It's all good the original owner (who sold them to the guy I traded my Carmine's too) still thinks they are real. So he bought them from me for retail. So I guess I didn't get screwed after all.
Well I've been on three deployments and seen enough death to maintain a positive attitude. I may have lost my 2nd pair of ds Carmine's but it will balance out eventually
Now that you actually posted pictures to see the shoes yes they are fake the black portion is way to shiny. Like I said report to eBay about the issue it may take 3 weeks but your cousin will get his money back. If the post says replica or does not say authentic then he is screwed how much did...
How do you know they are fake? Also eBay has a great dispute center and paypal also contact them if you would like to dispute 95% of the time buyer wins the dispute and gets refund as long as you return the item
