Looking to buy a pair of Nike's/Jordans/Dunks online and thinking about using StockX or GOAT for styles out of stock. Not 100% sure though, I'm a bit hesitant buying from resellers. What are if any tips/tricks to buying from these places? Do they include GST in the buy price or is it added on later? How much is shipping to Australia from these places? Are the sell/buy list prices accurate?
Don’t feed the reselling market!
OK good to know, got any tips for buying? Certain times they are cheaper etc?
Another question is how these people are getting multiple pairs of Jordans/Dunks in raffles?
As far as I understand they limit you to 1 pair per customer for most raffles/releases, but people are obviously finding ways around the system and gaming it.
I see so many eBay listings after a release and it kind of makes me mad because the people who want them and want to wear them miss out and they do not want to resell them and then get jacked for a pair of shoes. Seems very unfair!
that"s called scalping and people use many tools, from recruiting friends/strangers, as well as sniping scripts.
I hate that practice because it artificially restricts supply for legit buyers so that scalpers can make money.
Reps these days good enough to fool many Authenticators…
I don't understand why or how they would fool people surely the cheaper fakes can be spotted easily because they would obviously use cheaper material. For exotic shoes that cost many thousands of dollars I can understand why fakes work but the regular run Jordan & Dunks I can't see why you wouldn't be able to tell.
I’m taking the hyped up exclusive drops like anything af1 Chicago (lost n found, OFW, etc), Travis Scott Collab ones, unions, Dior Collab (would legit have to be confident as hell to wear these out in public)
Trying to buy a pair of Jordan 1's True Blue last night and there is no hope. I was refreshing for 2 and half hours since release time and some come in stock but never the 10's or 10.5's or even 11's and 12's and 13's. Nike really need to step and ban these scalpers or resellers as they are corrupting the market.
I've been on the selling side of this, they legit check everything. It's a good platform.
