Yeah, pretty much the same here.
They went pretty cheap.

Crafty,sly ebayers

and taking a big hit £££wise!! fook,shit,bolloxs.
Not the best time in the world to be sat on 6pairs of apparently deastock superstars in the only sizes some1 has then to see them list more in better sizes and a price way below what i had to pay
Oh yes i'm pissed off cause now it probably means i have to sell stuff i didn't want to.
Gr8 start to the day...NOT
It's not the size of the feet!!it's the amount of quality on em

jk i'm gutted for you mate. Worst thing is i bet whoever took em has absolutely no idea about what they have. To them they're probably just another pair of trainers. No appreciation. That's a bitch.
My problem is paying top dollar for a pair of 35th's, rushing home in excitement when they arrive to find they've been sent in the wrong box and without laces.
Not happy!!!

Aye it's a total pain in the arse, I'm getting my money back, but I'd rather have the feckin shoes!
Never had a pair in the wrong box, but would piss me off, and had missing laces etc as well when they said it was a complete set. If you got them off ebay you may be entitled to a partial refund mate.
It was fuckin' obvious that that cunt was gonnae fuck some cunt.

yeah, definitely try for a refund. 35ths without/wrong box are usually way cheaper than a proper boxed pair. and missing laces? you should look for at least 50% refund.

things that make my blood boil: when I write things that are obviously idiotic.
Mr. P's right, again. and I'm wrong.
20% refund then is probably realistic.

It is a complete pain. Pure - they were DMC's.
He sent them in a box from the Cities Series. I'm guessing he has the correct box which the DMC laces must be in. He had some of the Paris for sale too so i reckon he switched em by mistake. I've emailed him to ask him to send em, i'm just hoping he hasn't sold the Paris ones and sent my box n laces to someone else.
If there is a problem then i like the sound of the 50% refund you suggest zwer.
Gonna post some flicks of them later just to get a few of your expert opinions on the authenticity. 2nd opinion always helpful.
(edit)
just seen your recommendation of a 20% discount Pure, you must have posted while i was writing my last message. Although i like the sound of zwer's 50% maybe i'd better prepare myself for the realistic 20% you mention. Gutted though. Probably wouldn't have bid if it were listed as just the shoes. Maybe i can blag the seller with the amount i would have been prepared to pay for just the shoes and shoot for a bit lower?

Look inside the shoes and make sure the long numbers are different on the bottom of the label.
Post some pictures as well but that's the biggest give away.

No word from him yet big-m.
Pure - They seem good to me, different serial numbers & no heel tags, just made me raise a bit of a suspicious eyebrow when the wrong box dropped on my doorstep. I'll post pics in the 'Postie dun brung...' thread in a minute.
