Have you guys ever had a bad experience with a sellerr where you buy a shoe and its been worn way more than stated?
That's why I ALWAYS get dated, tagged pics, and make sure to drop this line, verbatim : "If there are any flaws/scratches/scuffs/stains, no matter how small they might seem to you, please take pics of them." There's nothing wrong with asking that. And if you end up getting something that isn't exactly what was described, like the guy below you said, file a claim IMMEDIATELY. But that only goes for if the shoe wasn't as described. If the guy just said "VNDS (fill in the shoe)" and you bought them, that's on you, because that word is interpreted in so many ways now, it could mean several different things. Ask for specifics when buying non-DS kicks, always.
EDIT: After buying a few unDS pairs, I'm kinda getting to the point where I'm over it. I'm always less satisfied than I expected to be, and I always end up regretting not just paying the extra money for a DS pair. While there are definitely some great deals to be had on unDS kicks, unless we're talking VVVVVNDS pairs, with zero creasing/tread-loss/worn-out in-soles, I'd rather not. To each his own, but I'm just not feeling it anymore.
They also do this funny thing where they give some of the latest releases to homeless people around the area and post pictures. Like with the Jordan 11's. I still don't know what to fully think of it. I mean yeah its great that you gave a guy without shoes a pair. But wouldn't he get jacked or straight up sell that pair for who knows what?
The age old question; is it good to give a homeless guy something that they might turn around and use for nefarious purposes?
I've struggled with this question a few times. While it's possible that that homeless person might just take those shoes and trade them for a $50 rock, it's just as likely that they will cherish those shoes and wear them until they fall apart (which might only be a year or two with today's Retro Js, but still...). I've come to the realization that it's better to give than not. Not every homeless guy, regardless of how they look, is a crackhead/alcoholic.
