I heard the same thing from my parents.

In the end, you gotta admit, our parents are right.

to all those who said "never pay retail"

how is that possible?

if you get em early, the price is high

i you get em late, the price is higher (damn resellers)

the cheapest i could ever get for a shoe was retail.

do you gotta just be lucky enough to know someone?

 

[nktran001]

I have a lot of people that I can use their discounts, and definitely "connects".

Where I get my money?.. I can't say or I'll be in trouble.

 

[n1k3b4ller]

i got that arab money

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

By working.

 

[pennyfan757]

when i have extra money i just go from spot to spot looking for deals. the spots around my way have good deals. the only shoe i would pay retail for is foams

 

[jumpman247]

I remember when I would save up to buy kicks, save up all that birthday cash for months just to get the pair I wanted. Now I can go and buy as many pairs as Iwant, but I don't even buy that many shoes any more.

 

[th3ownly]

i caddy every day during the summer

 

[damnneardeadstock]

wait for that perfect steal, you'll find it if you let it come to you. don't assume you'll hafta pay $300 just because someone else does.
