What's good NT, longggg time lurker here, since the yuku days. Been lurking this forum since 2003 when I was in high school and the Retro of the flu game 12's came back. Just wanting to drop some knowledge or tea that could be helpful to the community and anyone else lurking. As y'all already know, the thirst is mad real for these damn shoes and in moments of haste we do crazy things. Needless to say I shoulda followed my first mind but hey, you live and you learn. First time victim of an IG scam that luckily didn't set me back too much. Only about $400. Never again, but def a learning experience. Just saying beware. There's an Instagram dude who tries to make himself seem like he's legit but he's not. I can provide the name and all that but idk who's looking at this. PM if you'd like and I'd be happy to provide all the info. Think I'm ready to toss the towel in looking for these shoes in my size anyway.
Peace.

just name drop the dude if he is a scammer it should be known.

Its been said on here before. With all the scams and fakes and how good the fakes are these days....its retail or bust for a lot more people than it used to be. If it isn't direct from a reputable store....nope ain't even playing the resale game

Yes I'm aware, and FYI for those commenting, I'm a female. Hence the "Mz" in the name. Dudes current name is sneakericon_, he may change it again.


We didn't call em "flu game" 12's back then, they were just black/red 12's (the only black/red 12s)

I know that. Just referencing what they're called nowadays.
 
 
$400 IG scam seems like those very obvious scams. No offense but how did you even fall to that easy of a trap?
This.

Also, buying any high priced sneakers off of IG & Ebay makes zero sense.  You want a good deal of course, but most of the time those are too good to be true.  Pay up and go the proper route, or buy locally where you can see the sneaker in person before buying.

Well some of us don't have the liberty of walking into spots that will have these type of sneakers but $400 was a dead giveaway! I've been buying sneakers off eBay since 2003 and I've only received 2 fakes and I won both claims.
 
Guy just tried 2 scammed me out of $2800 for a sz 10.5 and 11 through eBay. Sent me some bogus pics of some fakes and I called him out on it and he went into hiding.
Can you report these people to eBay?

If not, you should be able to.  If he's clearly selling fakes, ban his account / IP.

How many of those shoes did you buy on eBay that were $1500+ from 2013 until recent?  

Fakes really weren't AS common or good back then.  Even in 2013 I was selling LeBron's and random sneakers on eBay. Then the scammers really found ways to take advantage of the sellers, not worth it anymore.  
 
It's going to be really hard on the resale market for these...

A lot of the purchases were for hype, trade, and resell more than the people who actually like and wants to rock them.
