    Frustrating isn't it?

    Megatran, I passed by George St on my way home (and was planning to head back in around 8pm) and they're all sold out.

    The frustrating part was I can _tell_ that at least half the people lined up are just doing to so resell. I want a pair to wear but I'm not paying what's likely to be $500-600 to one of these guys.

    The first one. That site is known for selling fakes, though.

    That is frustrating. Give it 24-48 hours & they'll pop up on eBay.

    My thoughts exactly.

    I'm not against reselling as such; what frustrated me is seeing that those lining up will pretty much sell for 2-3 times retail & experience tells me that a lot of those doing so don't really have any interest in them & are just lining up to make money out of those who do. I'll resell if I'm able to grab a second pair, but usually sell _cheaper_ than what the market is asking so as to help someone out while reducing my own (significant) cost of buying a pair.

    Hope you get a pair of the White/Infrareds, Megatran. I'm passing, but got them back in 2010. They should be easy enough to grab; many stores are getting them. I ended up buying a pair of the Infrared 10s tonight; they've been in stores for a few weeks & I like them but passed as I was keeping the $ for the 6s...

    The best legit online store for sneakers is RMK in Hong Kong; they've already sold out of pre-orders.

    Been lining up since 5am at my local Footlocker. There's probably about 20 or so people here. Looks like I'll be getting a pair of the White Infrareds in my size.

    Good thing, I got my SJ 11 from rmkstore. Just saw the you tube Vids & threads. Damn these are expensive fakes. Had to check coz they're DS.

    Apologies, i didnt know vmv sells fakes & havent checked those threads for a while.
