So... I was doing my regular rounds today, looking for new stuff online, and I came across this listing for a Bape Shark Hoodie: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bape-Blue-Camo-Shark-Hoodie-/251851583830?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123 . Of course, I was a little skeptical of the item because the pics weren't tagged and the seller was new, so I decided to send him a message to see if I could get tagged pics. Also, just because I've seen newbies list used stuff as new, I asked him if the item was in fact "New without Tags", as he listed.
He messaged me back with this:
"No its been worn, it CAN PASS AS DS. No flaws, never been washed." (his emphasis, not mine)
When I messaged him back and told him that it was messed up to list a used item as "New", he got upset, not understanding why I was "butthurt" and telling me he can't believe I was upset about that, as he's "never had no one wine about that". Bear in mind, the dude has ZERO feedback, so it makes sense nobody would "wine" about it.
He also said he was gonna post our conversation to NT, to which I told him to do it and to send me a link, so I could respond. As it seems like he isn't going to do it, I figured I would do it for him, because I'm honestly curious what you guys think about this.
Anyways, my question is this: am I wrong for getting utterly frustrated and annoyed at this guy for posting an admittedly "Used" item as "New", or is this now accepted in the "Buy/Sell" community? Is it ok to list something as "New" if it has "never been washed" and has "no flaws", or is that still a USED item? I tried to reason with this guy and ask him how he would feel if he bought something listed as "New", only to find it had been worn a couple times, but I guess that kind of thinking was above his train of thought. Anyways, let me know what you guys think. It is seriously a pet peeve of mine (on the level of cats listing "Unauthorized" kicks as "100% Authentic"), but maybe I'm tripping...
