You might be by your self on this one buddy....Originally Posted by datkidfabolous
I actually passed on this release...anyone else? I'm not feeling bad about it either
Yeah, I wasn't gonna go, but it doesn't hurt to try. I thought I might be able to get a pair through Shiekh in Berkeley, but it seems really doubtful now. At least this will be a little fun in downtown San Francisco.Originally Posted by ThaThaThaBay

The bank agrees and sets the money aside from your "available" balance. For example if you had $500 before the HOLD, then you attempt to buy a $400 item, your available balance would be $100 ( $400 is "on hold" until the merchant officially charges your card). They wont officially charge it until it ships. ( This is common business when doing pre-orders like on amazon.com for a dvd that doesnt come out for another 2 months or for an item that is backordered and will not ship immediately).
You might see a $1 charge on your card so the merchant (finishline or any retailer) can prove your account is real.
FUNDS CHARGED: The money is officially taken out of your account and thus will require a longer process to refund back to your card. Refunds are also called "credits" and will officially appear on your credit card bill as such.
DIFFERENCE: "ON HOLD" =1-3 business days to be available while "refunds" or "credit" can take up to 10 business days.
Thoughts:
It's not any website fault for this. It's the way credit card systems work. It's not like CASH. And yes, even if you use a debit card which is like cash, you are still subject to 3-5 business days in waiting.
Good luck.

Oh wow..... not related to Infrared VIs but just online shoe (or anything) purchases.
ACTUALLY, most businesses and e-commerce websites are much more likely to have compatibility with PC-related software than Mac. But really, if you are constantly updating internet browsers and OS's, it can really be a hassle/pain to try and get online transactions to go through since the host servers and the associated web programming are not updated as fast as the end user. You also have to consider internet speeds, firewalls, virus protection software, or anything else that would make your web experience less than satisfying.
And, just because Macs are constantly in all the big budget movies and has the mighty Apple stamp, it doesn't mean it's better. If you think I'm wrong and full of hogwash, then check out Nike Store online and see if you can perform a "successful" search for any of their shoes (I already told NikeStore this last week, and it still is not fixed) with the latest Safari update. Like I said, it all depends on the browser and OS you use.
My point is: it's probably better to use a PC (just based on speed alone--not power) for hyped online Air Jordan purchases or, at the very least, use Mac software that is not so updated (also could hold true for PCs but not so much). It all boils down to programming and how fast your computers "talk" to other computers and interprets users' intentions--the simpler, the better.
I seriously, and I do mean it, hope this info helps with some true sneakerhead/Jhead with a future shoe purchase.

I guess our chances are far less for the pack. I think Champs at the Westfield mall are getting the pack, too.Originally Posted by ThaThaThaBay

For the BIN IX like 110 people came and they only had 49 pairs. I'm just hoping people don't flock over there to stack up on multiple packs. How was the release in Shiekh? I didn't even know they had the pack
