ill tell ya what i like the most about this auction, its the questions about "RARE" shoes.......SMH!
what if this post hadnt ever been started due to the auction of those pe x's? were you going to start a post? probably not. so I dont see how your case is closed. the only reason all this started is due to that auction being posted here, and the price it was up to. nothing you can say will change that. even after the post started you guys still wouldnt immediately come out and say what was going on, we still only got "hints" like the one above to start. and now you say you were gathering info and this and that, why not post the info as it came along to you guys, and try and get help from others who may have been in contact and had no idea at all?
my opinion is because you guys werent sure if the shoes were real, and IF they were, there was no way you were going to have others see them and have a chance at buying them before you. the only reason we see some of these shoes now is because they arent real and nobody wants them. otherwise, alot of this stuff never would have been shown, or at least not before the "in" collectors already owned them. so basically, once again in my opinion, some of you guys may have gotten screwed by your own selfishness. the more people that could have loioked into this stuff to begin with, the easier and quicker everyone would have known, including the "in" crowd, that these were fraudulent. but thats not what happened.
once again, these are just questions that have came up with me and some friends, and im sure many others have thought it too. im not trying to ruin reputations or anything like that. but with all the questions about lu and screech and joe, why not start questioning other tactics here?
the one thing everyone should learn from this situation, no matter how well known or how amazing of a collection someone has, not just shoes but anything, you cant always beleieve what someone tells you. especially when it comes to spending any amount of money, no matter how large or small. which is exactly why I wont just take your, or anyones, word and say ok "case closed". sorry and again, no disrepect.
rahjelli: im jsut asking questions, thats all. no need for everyone to explain how many kids they haveI really dont care what you do with your time or how often you view and post on niketalk. From my point of view, and many others, you came in here instantly saying "be aware" and giving no explanations at all, isnt that 100% correct? Im not making this up, thats what happened. Im just stating how I feel, thats what message boards are about. And THIS post has taught the sneaker collecting community not to just take anyones word on anything and always ask questions! I dont mean to piss anyone off and Im not dragging your name into anything about this post, like making and selling knock offs, im just asking other things this post has brought up for me, and im sure many others, thats all.
yup. 100% correct... tell screech I said hi... I'm done here.
