so the shoes are shipped to the seller tax and shipping free? ha, so reseller finds highly coveted shoes at retail price flat. no tax, no shipping, nothing. Just $170 flat. shipped to their front door. then finds somewhere to advertise their shoes for free. then finds someone to drive to their house for free. outside of all those factors sounding like rare exceptions, it sounds dumb. that person would be setting themself up to get robbed. crib got converted to a brick and mortar.
and again, it makes sense for a HSer who needs lunch money. but if you're doing this for one pair, and not a whole run of these, it sounds like hustling backwards
