There's no question that this place encourages the buying of superstars, even if it's just legitimizing the addiction. And it's not hard to get carried away if you've got a bit of coin. Personally, knowing that someone had been sniffing around a certain pair of footpatrols actually spurred me on to dig deep and buy them, had to sell a couple of things to do it but it had to be done. When they were released in '05 there was no hope, I was on my arse skint with my first kid on the way - took me til he'd started school to actually get the little beauties.
I'm the same with the camo ape stars - one day, one day.
But then I can't see the fuss about any other stlye of sneaker really - if there's no shell they're just trainers for me.
Merry Christmas!
ps: I'm feeling a bit bad for Lurking taking the brunt of this, it's a free market after all, he seems like a sound fella and he has been significantly contributing to ssdb since he's been about.
Just no more under the counter dealings when the bidding's started, eh!
