It seems like some of you guys have all the time in the world to waste just so you can potentially save $100 or $150. Makes no sense :lol:
 
If something is sold out, you have no chance but to buy from someone else. But if it's below retail cost or the item has been sold out for over a year "pavot arenas" then it's normally a tall tell sign. Plus everyone on here saying it's a scam, the owners information not adding up, etc. then don't take the chance.

If it's someone on eBay with 400+ 100% feedback, been on for 10+, has a history of selling high-end goods, that's a different story. To easy to make a slick website in a day or too and con people, then start again then it is to build up years of history on eBay. Once you loss credibility there it's gone.
 
those fakes would probably be easy to spot in person but over the internet they're pretty convincing, china ain't f'ing around no more with the bootlegs

that dude probably sells all "super perfect" fakes or whatever they're calling them now through that website

Also the inside on those fakes says made in Italy. I thought they werent anymore?
 
Honestly theyre probably like 90% on point if not better.  If someone ordered them and doesnt have a real pair to line them up with or hasest done enough research on the fakes they might not realize, which I guess is what the site is hoping for. They will prob get some people with these.

Yeah they're made in Portugal. What I am curious about though, is the quality of leather. @ratty  Let's say theoretically the legit Balenciaga was really worth ~550 in leather. Based on the quality of materials on the fake, what would you kinda roughly estimate the worth if you hadn't known it was some **** pulled out the *** of a Chinese factory. 
 
hope you guys get your money back from basicgarments

I only got to inspect em for about 5-10 min before leaving for work this morning but my initial impression was that the leather was decent quality but it just felt different.  The padding around the heel is actually almost perfect but the leather itself felt thinner/more flimsy especially on the toe box. It almost felt like notebook paper.  I dont know how Id value it but I just found this site selling them for $200 so it has to be less than that.

Basicgarments.com is now gone! lol I think he mustve got word of this thread and freaked out and shut down ASAP. They actually emailed me offering to refund the money if i shipped the shoes back before I even emailed them myself to request a refund which was kinda crazy.  Anyway I started a paypal claim and then called paypal right after and they immediately decided the claim in my favor.  They are gonna refund me one I upload a tracking number for my return and credit me the shipping costs.  Gonna ship em back tomorrow. That was an interesting experiment haha.
 
^scammers getting real creative b, dude took the time to create a website, have shopify approve it, photoshop tagged pics. coulda put that effort into something legit and been an millionaire by now lol

Weren't you the guy that was about to buy those beat up leaning white Arenas from ebay like a month ago? If that was you, you need to chill man and just get a new pair straight from Balenciaga instead of all this foolishness.
 
I never even got tracking from basic, they just took my money lol. I knew going it it may be a scam, it is what it is.
