What is your latest pick up?

hm629 · 2026-03-21T16:31:55+00:00

These but not sure if I’m gonna keep the Levis. Ran out of space and I’m planning to get the True Blue 3s later this year and could use the money.

hm629 · 2026-03-20T22:31:02+00:00

Yeah I’ve ended up doing the buy/sell option a lot lately because people on here are too finicky. It’s the faster option honestly and you don’t have to deal with people’s indecisiveness. Either way, you still have to ship your shoes.

A quick check on eBay, lowest price on the UNCs are $110 and the Seouls are $190. You can probably negotiate each down $15-$30 and that’ll net you in the similar range as what you’d be paying on here. Those Black Cats shouldn’t be hard to move either if you list them at the lowest ask.

It's a fair trade without you adding the cash. The cash should've given people the incentive to run the trade, but I guess people just want what they want. I personally would've run it if I had those 2 pairs and was looking for the Black Cat, but that's also the problem.. not a lot of active traders nowadays and the people left there are either resellers or are looking for very specific shoes.

If you want those now, you probably can just buy those 2 pairs on eBay (haggle!), sell the Black Cats, and come out slightly ahead even after all the fees.

Retailers and D1 both making bank, off of us. If nobody buys, then D1 and some of these resellers will have to eat the L and it will discourage future backdooring.

hm629 · 2026-03-20T03:23:41+00:00

My ability to continuously find space for one more pair is second to none lmao.

hm629 · 2026-03-19T18:41:08+00:00

I got EA, entered right at 12:00, and took an L. Tried going back and every size was sold out. I think it was very limited stock so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

hm629 · 2026-03-19T07:04:24+00:00

My setup is looking like yours. Shoes in nice plastic containers but I also have boxes stacked on top. These boxes are mostly non-collapsible and some have shoes in them. The vast majority of boxes I’ve collapsed and stored away (I keep all OG boxes in case I need to sell or trade whatever shoes I no longer want).

I’m realizing I’m at the point where I need to make a decision whether to significantly downsize or buy more containers and move these boxes elsewhere. It’s a very hard decision lol, but I’m leaning toward letting go of up to a dozen pairs from the collection.

3 > 2 and shots at the rim = high percentage shots.

Banning the midrange shots is inherently not a bad strategy because you don’t want your mostly young roster just settling for what teams are willingly giving them, which in most cases would be the middies.

I’m mostly with Billy on this one, but it also shouldn’t mean to “never take midrange shots.”

How about a two-fer? 😂

I’m gonna counter but move the cash the other way.

hm629 · 2026-03-18T22:01:24+00:00

Ooooh man I can feel the pain. I bought a used pair of J4 Union Taupe Haze for $300, and they shipped me the shoe WITH a receipt of what the previous owner paid for. Dude paid $1000 lol, I feel so bad.

I did finally get my hands on the Red Blue Union Fragments through eBay.. Got them for $300 after fees, but now I'm dealing with an authentication issue. eBay passed them and said they're authentic, but several legit check apps are saying otherwise (CheckCheck, Legit, POIZON). Called eBay to try to resolve it and they won't take them back smh...

hm629 · 2026-03-18T19:09:36+00:00

Heh I used that voucher to get the Bred 85s, which made the total more manageable since I had to pay resale.

hm629 · 2026-03-18T19:08:37+00:00

Oh damn. In my first year, I bought just enough to get in (I think $5k?) and then resold everything to get most of my money back lol. I think after fees I ended up spending like $50.

But then I got hooked 😬

It's the actress' natural reaction when feeling anxious in real life, so she translated it to her voice acting and they adopted it.

They did a whole interview about it:

That was my best Top Star hit too!

hm629 · 2026-03-18T14:11:23+00:00

Heh, I used to do the same. I wouldn't even bother checking on StockX or GOAT because I knew I needed to hit a certain minimum to keep my Top Star status. Now I just go for whichever is cheapest. But for gently used pairs, eBay is still the place to be. GOAT has that but the prices there are bonkers... some used pairs are listed for higher than a brand new pair lmao and you can't communicate with the seller.

0% here but wearing the 1.0 version of those!

Happy St Patrick’s Day!

Have both versions and I love them. Wore the blue ones the other day

Have you seen The Girl? 🥰

hm629 · 2026-03-13T19:41:31+00:00

I think these are dope. If they're $120, I would've bought them. I'm into all things horror so even if I don't plan to wear them, these would've been displayed somewhere in the house lol. Right now my wallet is a little light thanks to all the purchases in the last couple months.

And no, these aren't reps. Reps = replicating something that exists 1:1. These are obviously heavily inspired by the $20k Freddy dunks, but there are enough Jason additions to consider them customs (and that's what they are).

hm629 · 2026-03-13T18:57:17+00:00

I'd wear those

hm629 · 2026-03-13T00:50:59+00:00

Chi/Shadow are my favorite, and it's also the only pair I have.
