Hello everyone and congrats on creating this fantastic site. My name is Christian, i'm 35 years old and i live just outside Manchester.
I'm not a collector just an avid wearer and admirer, bought my first pair of Superstars 8 years ago and havnt looked back since.
I tend to rotate 3 pairs depending on how im feeling and what i'm doing. Have always bought from reputable seelers but am about to wander into the murky world of ebay as can't find anything i like at the moment.
Cheers
Christian

Welcome to ssdb Spun
Enjoy the forum..Plenty of threads and info regarding ebay..Most of us buy off ebay as its pretty much the only place to find deadstock and pairs that are no longer available or rare hard to find stuff.
All depends what your after..ofcourse there's fakes out there but your in the right place to learn what to look out for and also to get help from people who already know and have the info to help you not get ripped off.
Goodluck with your searching for that next pair
It's not the size of the feet!!it's the amount of quality on em

Buying from the states can be easy or hard, cheap or expensive.
There are many us sites that ship to the uk. eBay.com also has many sellers that will ship to the uk.
Shipping can cost from £10 to £30 for a pair of supes depending on how quick you want them.
You are quite likely to get charged import duty + handling fees from the postal service which can knock the price of you purchase up quite a bit. Anywhere from £10 to £50 depending on what you've bought and it's value.

Alright Everyone Hope your all well
Yeah big roses fan Flyingcod, hence the user name
So from what i can gather from Streak, buying from the States is hit and miss? Gona check out ebay later when the kids have gone to bed but has anybody else got any other stores i can look at, just stuggling with stuff i can find in the uk at the moment. Doesn't have to be just the states i suppose, anywhere in the world will do for the right pair of Superstars.
