U should always check nike.uk before ordering from the states, the UK prices on jordans are cheapest in the world and as you found out on eastbay youll always get hit for customs tax. I wouldnt mind paying that on some limited kicks but they have BS policy on shipping limited kicks international...
They don't ship 'em 2011's backordered. But I got a couple pair white/red 2011's shipped to London a couple weeks ago. Which is great... until I found out I owe UPS £103 for customs/fees . Will probably ship 'em to my cousins in the US next ime.
There won't be no scam. Snipes is 100% legit. They actually operate a chain of stores (i.e. with physical premises) throughout Germany like FL. Prices areon the high side but their standard for Europe. You'll all get your shoes... or a refund at least once they realize they oversold.. but they...
Definitely will lose value.
It would be different if you had OG's which retain value simply because they're OG's.
But if they're just retros, and if they look just the same as the re-retros (as the pics seem to show), then people generally prefer new shoes which arespanking new plus much cheaper.
