All in all, I actually had fun doin it...got a chance to meet new people from several surrounding states, and even put a face to some NT screennames (anybody remember "ShoKKa" w/the Mario Lopez avatar?)
I dont look down on those who do it...maybe they dont want to pay inflated prices, or DONT have any hook-ups? Managers at shoe stores move around like chess pieces...once you establish a relationship with one, they get fired or promoted, and it's on to the next person. Also, I'd NEVER take my chances ordering online on a release day...forget that.
In the end, who cares how they get them......as long as they do. That's what it's all about (no Hokey Pokey)
