I didn't even bother looking at her face of disappointment. -_-
Were both of those for you alone?
If they were both shoes were for you then it was pretty messed up. I would not have kept a mom from trying to buy her child a christmas present because of my greed.

yeah, it depends who it is.. id prolly give one sz10 to her, knowing it woulda made her kid's and her's christmas. but if it was some guy whos already holding like 5-6 bags full of sjs then no. screw them. when i did the sj release, there was this one guy who apparently knew ALL the shoe employees (handshakes and small chats and all) and he pretty much got to cut everyone (even NTSF when they did their 10am overstock sale [large sizes left]) he cut me and took my pair of sz 11.5............. ended up with a 13 and a mouthful of salt. what made me even MORE salty was his damn van was parked outside NTSF and when he put his NTSF purchase in the van, you literally see BAGS AND BAGS of space jams from FL, FNL, CHAMPS, SHIHEK, FootAction etc etc.. he didnt put in work, he just cut everyone and ended up with 20+ pairs. he was some 50ish year old black guy with stacks and stacks of 100s resembling ice cube's uncle in next friday.

but some people are adults with full time schedules that don't have time to establish connects. i got hookups at a few spots in my area and i take care of them and they take care of me, it works both ways but their good to have because their real reliable and good to me.
however i can relate to those on the outside looking in as well. however too many people are way to relaxed and let stuff slide. how you gonna let another man cut you in line and not do anything about it? how you gonna let some reseller buy everything in your size and not do something about it? im talkin about confronting them rather then getting butthurt and posting it on a message board.
also, alot of people camping lack common sense and rely on one spot rather then having backup plans.
also i never understood why their would be 200 people camped out for a pair of shoes when that store only got 100 pairs. wheres the common sense?? when i was without connects, i would find out how many pairs the store was getting, divide that number by 2 because i factored in employees buying pairs and potential resellers. also i would ask the people in front of me what sizes they were getting as well, if more then one person was getting my size it was on to plan B.
