I just reread what I said and it seems to be in a tone that is quite dick for a lack of a better term. I didn't mean it to be an asshole, I just meant that doing this takes time and it takes money and the best way to utilize both to their best potential is know what you're looking for and what you don't want. Undoubtably, errors will be made, trust me, I made a ton in my day, and sometimes I think it may be necessary to take a gamble in this game cuz otherwise an item wont be there. I was just generalizing, thrifting blind is a very easy way to discard a lot of money straight into the trash can, so just probably stating what you already know, absorb and absorb. But congratz on the shoes, I had the opportunity to pick up 2 new pairs the other day and chose not to do it until I figure out what I'm gonna do with all the women's I have now, but looking back it was dumb, shoulda pulled the trigger....but unless you live an alternative lifestyle, I'm assuming you'll be flipping those, and some brand new black Louboutin heels should net you a healthy profit.Trust me man, I appreciate that, I was hoping to have someone drop some knowledge on the subject w/r/t telling fakes from real. It was a gamble, but not an entirely uninformed one, all of the typical signs for higher end stuff is there, stitching, etc.
Dudes dropping knowledge is how I learned to spot fake Hermes ties which has helped me numerous times. All in all just trying to spur some discussion.
