I dont think he's totally in the wrong here. supply and demand could justify a $50 increase. Keeping in mind that I have never sold anything for my asking price on here. When they were on yoox for 190 or whatever there was a bigger supply now yoox is not an option so the available supply is much less. I think most people on here list their stuff for a bit more than they really want from them, because you have to drop 5% just to bump up and people always lowball. If i saw these for 250 + shippping and fees, i'd send a message and offer $225 including shipping and fees. Then he's gotta go to the post office stand in line and ship. At the end of the day, the profit will probably buy a jimmy john's sub lol. What the hells the big deal guys. $250 is a steal on these and if they were a 42 I would pay that in a heart beat and call it a day. (ps no one bitches that yoox probably paid $70 for these and sold them for 190) lol

Actually $250 is not a 'steal' that's around the price (actually more) than a ton of stores will have these in a few months. But hey, it's not my money, whatever.

the issue is that he used the sales thread as a resource to find a sale and was dumb enough to try to flip them on the same board and think he could get away with it

Surely, that's never happened here before.
