Well, the very folks who started the PE movement are now salty about what it has become.
Funny that if a "few" of you had never posted PE's and instead kept them to your "groups" or not offered PE's to such and such at a discount price which was then sold again and again then this massive buy and sell at all costs shoe "game" would not be what it is. IMO it could have been just as easy for the 10-20 of the OG PE heads to just hold your own forums offline but instead one or two posted for "fun" and still others posted knowing that eventually newbs would ask the all important question, "how can I be down?
some of you were genuine in your attempt to educate and provide access these gems for those who came asking.. all you asked was " be true to yourself and what you collect"
some saw that profit line(USA capitalism at its best) whether it was for 300-1000 and made it happen
suppliers lost their jobs increasing the price still further
a spin off culture ( lets say ISS for example) made it commericial and then BAM! SHOE WARS
hyperbeasts and other words were created by, OMG the OG PE collectors!!! |I
and the top garbage of it all? A few of these "clowns" with alias.. too embarrased/scarred to make these statements to its intended audience directly..
The downfall of collecting can always be traced back to the originators of the art form......
