Yes there is a ton of fake margiela on ebay. But it's really easy to spot the fakes. Usually aids tees, stupid jackets and what not.

I'm kind of wary of this one because the dude says they were $395 retail and he has them in like 4 different sizes. Seems like something that'd be weird to fake though, unless they were super popular over in Asia or something.

I mean, i've encountered a few overseas stores that use ebay to get rid of old stock before putting it on deep discount. But i always ask questions to the sellers and ish. I havent' seen those as my ebay prowling has been on hiatus since winter break started. Normally i have my list of brands i just run through for deals.

And I request a SoCal x SoCal's dad WAYWT pic next time you see him.

I was going to say she was cute earlier, but I like to keep my creepiness quotient to a minimum. She looks quite a bit like my friends' sister in that picture.

I guess it isn't creepy if I don't ask her availability. And nevermind, she looks nothing like the girl I thought she did.

I concur on the SoCalization that ought to occur and also with the idea she should post moar.
