i would've ignored him too to be honest.  it was simply a failed business transaction.  but once AirForce hit him with the "flake" text, there's nothing else to discuss.  if dude is telling the truth, he was dealing with "life".  that always comes first regardless.  AirForce is a little pressed to sell the shoes so it hit a nerve, imo.

but once you go sideways on me, you get ignored.  i'm not cool with a dude getting sensitive.  thats just me tho.

just my impartial opinion. 

 

[_stephen.p_]

the real question is, why are you guys steady getting flaked on.  price not too good?

for me personally it's just been this shoe. That rumored restock got dudes shook. I have an idea of how it happens. Someone reaches an agreement with a seller, them asks their homeboy before paying and homeboy tells em hell no they guaranteed to restock. So then the buyer just starts ignoring instead of manning up and saying I changed my mind.

 

[remarqable23]

So instead of simply explaining your situation, logic told you to ignore me? I see, I see. That makes sense, I get it.

This is a tough one. Being in sales, you can't talk to potential customers like that no matter how bad it's going. With a potential sale on the line, gotta keep your cool. Shoes or not, if I pulled that with one a potential client, best believe they're not spending money with me. People buy from who they like. He had ever to ignore you after you put him on blast.

Word October 3rd can't come any sooner. So I can strike out and eventually pay resell

exactly.  AirForce spazzed on dude thru text AND put him on blast on a msg board....but wonders why dude isn't showing him proper respect and responding to him.  

like, bruhhhhh, really.  do you really not understand why you got ignored?

Why would he price match? He only invested $250. I'm sure he can hold onto it if he wanted to until the market goes back up

I hear you loud and clear boss and to an extent you're right. For me personally, it's just weird. Non-stop back and forth conversation up until the invoice is sent. 2:30 she's "about to pay when she gets off." 7.5 hours later still no reply and most importantly NO PAYMENT? Perhaps I could've handled this better but c'mon, there's no excuse for that. How about this, if we were doing a transaction for a briefcase filled with $1,000,000 that I was giving him for $5.00, do you think he would've allowed things to play out in this exact same fashion.

And I understand it's a potential sell loss but these are the buyers I try and steer clear of. The most important thing during a transaction is communication. I'd rather not deal with someone who can't properly communicate, honestly.

However, everything you said is completely true and I understand your point of view.

he would price match so he wouldn't have to be on NT, complaining about how much of a hassle the shoes have been to flip!  a peace of mind is worth more than $50 extra dollars, to me personally

if pairs are easily selling at 650-700, then why not.  prices aren't guaranteed to go up. they actually continue to fall.  and with the holiday shoes coming up, people will have less and less to spend on these.  plus, the other models OVOs are dropping.

but he did communicate with you bruh.  he ignored you for 7.5 hours.  thats speaking loud and clear that he wasn't 100% in on the transaction.  you been in the game long enough to know to ..inhale, blow that ish out and move on.

posting screenshots on convos is really "small" and pointless.  thats the point everyone is trying to make to you.

I don't see this reply anywhere on here so I guess this is that dude that I blocked the other day. Not sure if he can read my replies or not but in short, if guys are flaking because "the price not too good" then they shouldn't agree to purchase, flat out. I'm not forcing them into a deal. They hit me up because they're interested in my product, we negotiate, come to terms on a deal, I send them an invoice then poof, they vanish into thin air. DON'T AGREE ON A DEAL IF YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE PRICE!!!

But that's not why dudes are flaking because I'm offering the best prices out. Dudes are flaking because they flat out don't have the money.

I'd price match on the 14, but 12 is my personal pair so I don't care if they sell at all. In fact ima probably UnDS em soon

Why would he price match? He only invested $250. I'm sure he can hold onto it if he wanted to until the market goes back up

yea I could but I'd rather move em and use that money to flip future pairs. Reality is I counted the eggs before they hatched and pictured myself getting a 5000 check from fc when I should've just sold em the day of.

I don't know what you're charging but I dropped my pair off at flightclub for $950 in LA and it sold the same day. Granted, it's a 80/20 but people are paying top dollars for them. Alp - disregard this post. I know how to you feel about FC.

 

[theblackyopper]

Traded for Lebron Solar Red 8s and a dozen donuts. Dude copped these to sit on for trade bait and what sealed the deal was he actually wanted a pair of Solar Reds for his brother and my sense of humor with the donut thing lol. Today is a good day for me, hate to see the 8s go but I feel we both took a W on this trade.

 

[delete1234]

Steal man those solar reds can be had for cheap

actually I took one of them out and it was the same exact pair I gave in. I think ny actually might not be moving them. Most of the allocation went to ny as usual so I could see how they would move quicker in la

You might have a better shot in LA

 

[blackmondays]

Lol at the last few pages and guys who said the had a hard time selling double nickel, what were you pricing them at. They was easy to move for me. I see OVOs market value has went down. Boys are impatient. As far as flakers....sigh, if you don't have the money right then and there I'm not trying to here it.

He can still see my posts? That's interesting. And no, I assure you that's not the case. If you look at this pic, you can see it's a million people in my inbox about OVO's. I literally have no clue who you are. I don't remember talking to you even though I know we did (last name on the list). I blocked you because in this thread, everything out of your mouth in regards to me was negative. I immediately saw that you'll be one of the people that no matter what I say or do, you'll find a way to disagree. Your intentions are simply to go against what I have to say, not actually adhere and see my point of view. Me blocking you isn't beef either, it's just in this thread I'm not interested in reading your negative comments about me. No hard feelings boss...

*EDIT* Forgot to post the pic...

LMAO.  wow, dudes true colors are really coming out in this thread.  i can't remember saying one negative thing about you.  i dont even know you to say something negative.  just been giving my opinion on your interaction with that potential buyer, like everyone else has.  can someone please tell me what i said that was so harsh.

+1 if you think AirForce is in here embarassing himself.

 

[downyboy]

what is going on in here. in all fairness to airforce1king he has a point, there are far too many deadbeat flakes on NT and buying shoes in general. if you're going to flake at least be courteous and send a response to the seller. airforce1king has helped me out several times and is one of the few guys on here that has been extremely helpful whenever asked.
