your collection aint that large tbh bro. i think u posted pics of it before. so those 3 times u got helped is a sizable chunk of your collection? now if u have like 50 pairs and only needed help with 3 then sure. but thats not the case, so there goes that argument.1. People help me three times on shoes but the rest of my collection I secured on my own, including the Nike Air Cement 4s which I secured on footlocker.com. 2. I post to share the information, if a person helps me secure that pair I shared information on then they were being a good person and wanted to help out. 3. I told you before it's my opinion and why does it matter if I'm in the position or not? The sneaker community is suppose to be a community and what does a community do? He others out, not be selfish and hoard things to themselves. Contributing is contributing as long as you do it you're helping out.
this the last im gonna say on this....
youre trying to be slick by saying u believe people should help others. but in your paragraphs, you get very specific on how u think they need to be helping others.
youre preaching HARD about people who have secured pairs in hand ooping strangers with no pairs like its nothing. just do it, dont think about it. thats a guaranteed pair. thats the way it should be end of story. youre preaching that SO hard that it seems like youre almost shaming them if they arent willing to oop pairs...like oh why not if u got extras blah blah. theres PLENTY of legit reasons why not.
but you already admitted u arent ever in the position to do the same as youre preaching. u wont ever b able to oop anyone a secured pair, because u dont secure multiples. the way u say u contribute instead is by posting release and restock links. nothing wrong with that but.....
back to my original point, that its easy for you to preach that others give up their extra pairs, because its comming from a person who 1) needs help securing pairs himself, and 2) only posting links for a CHANCE to cop the kicks. your links and info dont guarantee anybody any pairs. but what youre basically shaming others for not doing is to give up a secured guaranteed pair.
the way u contribute vs the way youre shaming others to contribute are on TOTALLY different spectrums.
the ones who are never in the position to legitimately help, are always the people who preaching HELP OTHERS B A GOOD PERSON. u lost already EARLY by saying "do the right thing....". who are u to tell people to do the right thing with their kicks? the right thing to do is whatever the person who earned those kicks do with em,
i would give up one of my extras, no problem. but it aint gonna be to a complete stranger for the reason of just because. i like to help others who i know will return the favor in kind. THATS how the sneaker community should be. the way u fantasize the sneaker community to be, youre gonna have a whole bunch of lazy dudes who will take advantage and just get their pairs from your legwork just because they know they can. on purpose. thats called taking advantage.
this world is mostly tit for tat. not rainbows and gumdrops and hugs all over for strangers like u want it to be. u want people to give out luxuries. r u nuts? id give money to anyone who truly needs it and is down on their luck with no problem. but people dont NEED jordans. im not in the business of handing out luxuries. thats not HELPING.
