Official Supreme Thread; F/W14; FAQ ON PG 1; vol. End of F/W Sale

[Animal Thug]

If I knew how to use a bot, I'd honestly probably use it. I know I'm getting the item for myself and not selling it which I think is the frustrating part about people using them in the first place. Buying up all the pairs to make money. Pretty soon, if not already, it's going to be either use one or miss out every single time.

I need to get with the program I guess, I just don't know to embed that program in my Mac.

I have my checkout information typed into the boxes before 11 AM so I'm ready to checkout as fast as possible. That's not cheating since the address is saved automatically by the site (ie everyone can do it by just using the website) It's like saying that using a book in an open-book test is cheating. Everyone has the same advantage there, so I don't see your point, really.

Yeah you DEF didn't see my point.

I meant Chrome's autofill extension that saves your addy/CC info so you can check out in like 3-5 secs...

But judging by your defensive response, I guess you don't. LOL. Carry on.

 

[ronaldcinho]

 
Exactly, people are ready to throw morals out the door for a pair of kicks. I'm cool not getting this **** so long as I don't have to compromise. You guys might not see it as a big deal but to me it's the same as taking steroids to beat a home run record. In my book, if you can't do it the fair way don't do it at all. I know many people don't agree that but I could care less what other people think. At the end of the day, I'm happy with my choice.

lmao it's just not that serious man. at the end of the day I don't question/go against my morals to buy clothing items and shoes. If you're cool with paying resale to stay more "honorable" than everyone else then cool, just do you man. I highly doubt people in here are as bad of people you're making them out to be lol. At the end of the day, I'm getting what I want and not paying resale, so as long as you're not in here complaining about missing out and paying resale, thats cool.

Anyone been to nyc shop recently? Did those vans tnt 5 restock yet?

I didn't miss the point at all. What I'm telling you is I don't use an auto-fill. If you take 1 minute of your time before 11 am you fill it in with your fingers on the keyboard and have it open in another window. It's really not hard, I don't know why people even bother using auto-fill extensions because they are 100% unnecessary. I am sorry if it seems that I am being defensive but your point was moot. To answer your initial question as simply as possible, I use no extensions to help me cop. The two extensions I use which do not help me cop are the Page Monitor and LeftToDrop. The PM I use to alert others to restocks (I know some people use the PM with the cart link to help cop stuff, but I have never done that and don't really plan to). Also, the LeftToDrop extension just tells you what hasn't dropped yet which is useful in determining what you might want to go for. I'm sure you know about both of these but I just explained in case.

I don't really pay resale for anything unless it's really old. I love Le Bain, my favorite Supreme this year, and I haven't shelled out resale for it after my miss. Like AT said, the most I'm willing to pay is $50 above retail max. Otherwise, I'll just pass. Like you said as an argument for using bots, it's just clothing. I'm not tripping enough to join the crowd. Like your momma always said, "would you jump off a bridge because everyone else is doing it?" My answer to her is simply, "No." haha

 

[af1 1982]

we talking about clothing and shoes b. lmao 

 

[af1 1982]

I just don't see how using bots is immoral.

An NTer once said something that will always stick with me regarding this argument. "Since when is hustling harder not enough"

Wait, so you don't COPY and PASTE? IS that cheating too? NOT THAT serious bruh.

Like many on here, I do this from work. Anything that will let me go that much quicker, i'm for it. My time is valuable, and I'm typically working on projects with deadlines. I'm not at bot status yet and prob WON'T be, but to question your morals because you simplified your input methods upon checkout? There are def more important things to worry about in life. And saying auto fill is 100% unnecessary? lol. I see why you aren't landing any of your coveted items bro lol.

 

[danvsman]

Not necessarily immoral. Maybe using the word moral was bad diction. It's more about how bots kinda f'ed everything up and I don't want to add to that even if I'm the one idiot not doing it, ya know?

 

[ronaldcinho]

lmaooooooo never thought I would see the day when moral codes come into copping streetwear online...but y'all do you b. I'm a sit atop my immoral chair with my immoral kicks and dishonest hoodie on

No one needs to copy and paste. INFORMATION EDITED OUT. And I'm not worried about other people doing it I'm just not doing it myself, which is all I've been saying this whole time. I got almost everything I wanted this season. I missed out on BOGO because I forgot to clear my cache like an idiot and I missed out on Le Bain because I forgot to click the agree to terms and conditions button like an idiot haha. The two things I missed were due to my own mistakes, and nothing to do with how I checkout. And at first I know you thought I was being defensive but you're the one firing shots homie, take it down a notch I'm just debating with you.

We just don't see eye to eye, that's all. I'm not laughing at you for using a bot and thinking it's alright to do, so why are you laughing at me for not using one and thinking it's not alright? We all got different opinions, I'm just voicing mine.

nahh bruh, I'm not laughing at you so much as I am the situation. I respect people's opinions, but this sh*t just made me geek. As twitter says "it was never that serious" 

 

[b fresco]

No one needs to copy and paste. If you go add a product to your cart at 10:45, click checkout, enter your information manually, remove the product from your cart and leave the checkout page open, then copy/pasting, autofill, etc are all useless since you have the information filled out already and when you want to checkout you just hit process. And I'm not worried about other people doing it I'm just not doing it myself, which is all I've been saying this whole time. I got almost everything I wanted this season. I missed out on BOGO because I forgot to clear my cache like an idiot and I missed out on Le Bain because I forgot to click the agree to terms and conditions button like an idiot haha.

YEah that's too much work. Autofill lets me do all of that without having to get on early, without having to prefill info in manually every week, and without having to open extra windows. If you don't mind doing the extra work, do you bruh. Personally, my time is too valuable for all of that, but if you have the time feel free. I just can't see how i'm no morally inept by using an extension that inputs all of my info for me automatically. If I was reselling what I was buying, maybe. But like YOU, i buy Supreme to WEAR it. And if me questioning your "morality" argument is "firing shots" then i dont know what to tell you. ON that note, back to a project i'm working on.

 

[leonidas]

So most people are really using bots now?

Makes sense - I'll literally never have a chance at copping anything....that's exactly what steered me away from copping sneakers.

If this brand does indeed become a resell gateway, than I'm done. There's really no point in me trying to combat a machine in buying.

Exactly. Fortunately for us, Supreme may not be as resell-able as it once was. Sure there will always be pieces more valuable than others, but it may only be a matter of time before the people copping to resell realize they're not gonna flip much

I know for you guys it isn't about morality and that's cool. Like I said, maybe moral was the wrong word to use. But at the end of the day I think using a bot is wrong and I think my opinion is just as valid as you guys who think it's cool. I'm not judging you so I expect the same in return. I get that you buy to wear, and again, that's all gravy. I don't hate on resellers or just regular homies using bots. There are times when I wanna curse out resellers for their prices, haha, but they make money and love what they do so I can't hate. And my autofill argument is really just this: Supreme's site saves your address info already, so for me it isn't a big deal to spend 30 seconds typing in the CC #, date, and CVV that I have memorized. My time is money but I'm not tripping on 30 seconds. 

 

[mints]

danvsman I get where you're coming from, I won't take it to the point of not using autofill, I mean it's built into Safari from the get go, but like you I won't pay someone to write code to help me cheat the system and add an item to my cart. Sure it means that I'll probably never got the HOT item, but in all honesty outside of the Le Bain (which I may end up pulling the trigger on at a reasonable reseller price) and the BOGO, the stuff I like is what usually gets that green face emoticon from others in here.

I too try to bring my personal code of morality into the things that I do, and while I have many personal failings as a person, I still try to do it.

Hell if the office knew how often I sat on my butt between 9:40-10:03 CST on Thursdays they'd probably dock my time, but after I've made a successful order, I close the laptop and go about my work day.

Very true. Case being; the Le Bain joint. How often were people checking for that thing? All for it to go for under $300? c'mon man, I aint eem mad. After PP and ebay fees, shipping and all that....probably barely cracking the $50 profit mark.

It is what it is though.

Well, again, I'm not saying I refuse to use autofill for moral reasons, I'm saying it gives you ZERO advantage. At the end of the day, if my info is filled in by 1059 it doesn't matter whether I saved 30 seconds using autofill or entered it manually. I just enter it manually because 30 seconds is not that important to me. And yeah, for me it's about doing it the way it's meant to be done and if I miss out I'll be salty for a few minutes but being able to take an L is important to me haha. 

 

[joepapamama23]

b fresco just wondering, if your time is as valuable as you say it is(which I'm sure it is) how do you have time to write a long discussion but don't want to take 30 seconds to write the CC info since you have deadlines to meet?

danvsman I see what you mean. You and AT are just old school and want to try to get what you want manually without help.

I think it's all fine and I'd only use a bot if I REALLY wanted something.

 

[stillin729]

auto fill secured me Supreme Dunks in 2012 which wasn't happening without it

But if you wanna pay the moral price of $500 more power to you

I get you guys all love autofill but can someone explain to me how it really gives you an advantage? INFORMATION EDITED OUT. How does autofill beat that method in any way, shape, or form? And I'm sincerely curious, I'm not firing shots.

 

[ronaldcinho]

dog what the hell happened in here? got the moral scales tipping all over the place lmao. like straight up. I can respect people doing them and staying true to themselves, but don't come off as if you're a better person with a better ethic code cuz you don't use assistance. 

we gotta chill with the making this a bigger issue than it is 

time's have changed, you can choose to adapt to the system or do things your way but I'd prolly keep your decision to yourself regardless.

 

[af1 1982]

 
I get you guys all love autofill but can someone explain to me how it really gives you an advantage? I have my info all filled in long before 1059 in another window so when I add to cart I have the screen sized down where I can only see the process button. Then when I checkout, I just hit the big red button and I don't need to fill in anything. How does autofill beat that method in any way, shape, or form? And I'm sincerely curious, I'm not firing shots.

He's not saying autofill is superior. He's just saying it's the most common method.

Not that many people know of the method you speak of. Well, now they do
