Great, I'll post all the shoes I like on eBay. What exactly is cool/interesting about a pair of Black BB Shell Longwings?

The post described exactly what you'd be finding. If you didn't find it interesting why did you click on it?

Stop being such a whiny little dick!

Are you guys seriously jumping down my throat over this? This thread is typically good BINs, mislabeled items, and legitimately interesting shoes (exotic leathers, top tier brands, etc.). I stand by my original criticism in that I don't think the BB Shell Longwings fit the bill.

This isn't a busy or overloaded thread and doesn't need to be limited to exotic leathers. Or moderated. Plenty of room for the mundane that might be picked up at a good price.

It is not like posts will get lost in the overabundance of information in this thread...

When everyone thinks you're wrong, you usually are. Anyway, it's RJman's thread and he had occasionally objected to off topic crap being posted here, but the post you're bitching about doesn't fall into that category.

You're an immature little cock. He posted them because they had the potential to go for cheap.

And click on the link again...

Look at that, they went for $112! A pretty good deal for a nice pair of shoes.
