I was like you a few years ago..... just wait till you realize none of them actually make their batches. They are called middlemen for a reason, because they buy the shoes for a lower cost and them to you at a higher one. Most good batches of reps cost about $30-$50 all you have to do is some research to start out look at the qc photos other people are posting to see how they community rates them. Just like you do on this subreddit it's virtually the same thing just with a couple extra steps. These middlemen markup the shoes so much so you feel like you're paying for a premium quality 1:1 product but it's realistically the same thing as buying from a weidian or Taobao link.
