I think the last spot to do preorder was STC FTL. I remember it was super chill like some ppl were saying in the thread earlier. Resellers were still around but they weren't as heavy as they were today (saw a dude walk out with 6 pairs of Concord 11s). You just needed to know when they started doing the preorders and prepay for the pairs and bring in the GC they gave you to claim them. If you lost that GC then you were SOL though
For a sec I thought maybe that was me you saw but I bought my Concords from Fairview FTL. Now before the hate, it was 9 pairs total but zero for resale. Call me corny but I did the wedding party thing: 4 for my boys, 2 for myself, 1 for the ring boy, and also 1 for my wife, 1 for my (future) son. That preorder gift card put a hurt on my Visa like a mofo but in the end it was worth it. Good ol days indeed, FTL employee even helped carry my purchases to my car, overall good vibes.
Not gonna bother posting a pic, but for those curious SneakersNews actual stole one of my wedding photos and used it in their recent "History of the Concord 11" video.
