Believe me I don't expect something in return all the time, like you said sometimes you don't get stuff that people may want. But for example, I have adude who I hook up regularly, when ever he goes to the outlets or NikeTown for example, he gives me a call, asks me if I want anything or if I need him to lookfor something for me...I may not get anything at the end but at least dude is looking out for me like I do for him. Thanks to him I've gotten from NTLA,Nike Factory at Orange and Footaction (i live in NYC), eggplant flightposites for $50, Air Stab for $30 and Lebron V for $45...which is what he paid. It'sno big deal if you have nothing in return but if there may be a time that i need something from ur local spot or u find a deal, let me know, i may not jump onit but at least ur looking out for me like i do for u. People can tell you...i never charge them extra.
