I know, but the guy asked if he would get a discount. Only way he would get a discount on a tried on shoe is if it's the display pair. Any shoes from the back, unless they hella worn, will not grant him a discount.

They're a pair from Nike, so he hasn't received them yet.
He did send me a pic of his Nike order confirmation though.
Obviously I'd write all the details in the PayPal notes, but anything above and beyond I should do to protect myself?

If they're real, yeah. Ya gotta be careful tho, a lot reps are out there. These are flying for $700 on FC so be cautious.
Legit check and ask questions, keep it documented. Assuming you're buying from ebay, the seller taking a massive loss from ebay fees,paypal fees, and then shipping to Canada (hate customs). That's a heavy loss for very little profit. Seems shady.

oh okay, No you should be good. If you were to get them and they were to be fake all you could do is file a paypal complaint

Because those tend to be dirty and show wear. They won't sell you the display pair unless it's the last one and if they show wear you can get a discount. They count it as a defect. Not much of a discount tho and that's only IF the wear is very visible soles are very dirty.

They're on Grailed, so there's no fees except PayPal.
The pair is from Nike so the seller hasn't received them yet. He did send a pic of the order confirmation from Nike though.
I did ask a ton of questions regarding the shoes/transaction and they are documented.

Get it. I guess last piece of advice would be to make sure you DO NOT gift him the money.

I've worked as an auditor for a big 4 firm and have a job lined up at the CME, so i am a business major. 10% interest on an investment is a good return, so that $450 would turn into 495, then the second year add 545. Sure, could take that money and put it in yeezys, but I think as someone already pointed out, if you seriously need the money for the next flip, you're in the wrong business. The "smart business move" would be to hang onto these and buy the yeezys and make good returns on them both. It's not, or shouldn't be, one or the otherclearly not a business major here
i feel like a major douche acting as if this is a buisness, but to say it's the "smart business move" to sell these now is just wrong, unless of course all you have is the money for one release. To bring up the "time value of money" as to why you'd take the $450 now just doesn't make sense to me, but I do have enough in the bank to buy multiple releases, so maybe that's why.
also, i should note, I don't flip anything. I buy shoes to enjoy them, but, as a "businessman", i couldn't keep my mouth shut seeing someone throw around the time value of money and why it's smart to flip these fast... it's not.

Did I say YOU kill the market? I said people like you. Point is, the market is lower because people like you look for a quick flip and list below what they should be and because of that, everyone rushes to lower their prices.
And you clearly said I "needed" the money meaning you have other priorities, not to "invest" in other things.

The more I look at these camo's, the more I fall in love. Definitely in my top 3 pickups this year.

Well I disagree. I don't think waiting 2 years to make an extra 2 to 3 hundred is worth it.
Well it doesn't seem like the majority of people are going to stop selling for the lower price to get a quick flip anytime soon so I'm just going with the flow of the market.
Yea I did need the money to fix my car I need 2 new tires and they're like 400 bucks. Me saying I could use that $450 to reinvest in yeezy boosts was an example.

Well just got 2 shipped emails.
2/3 isnt bad.
once the shoes are in my possession, will be using my screen shot saying it never "clearly" stated 1 pair limit
View media item 1762128
Tried that line as well with the never stated 1 item limit. They hit me with the "all launch items are 1 pair per" which I know is bull.
