So you telling me I can save $200+ dollars buy just riding around and going to malls. I'll take that ANY day! Plus the personal satisfaction of getting that winning call is great. Dudes that complain or even comment on someones hustle is plain lame to me. They just don't get it! Those $300+ pre-orders are being filled, by the very method they are knocking, guys doing footwork and entering multiple raffles and going to stores. If I miss out, I want to say I put the work in and tried my hardest, not buy saying the guy didn't come through for me.

Let's see... I paid $275 shipped for my preorder

I live pretty far away from malls (nearest is 20-25 min) and the others are dispersed. I would've wasted $25 in gas, as well as 4 hours of my weekend time... so **** that, I enjoy my weekends. After tax I still end up paying over $200, IF I win, not to mention all of the time I wasted

And? You do you. No one needs scumbags (not you but plenty others in this thread the past couple weeks) talking down to everyone else if they chose to pay for a preorder, do raffles, or both. Everyone on here is so singular in their viewpoint, it wreaks of simpletons.

Is your pre-order guaranteed? Also, by going to malls you can get multiple tickets to increase your chances. IMO 20 mins is nothing. I got 9 tickets, all in the same mall. He got 50+ in 3 hours. I don't see the big problem.

No doubt, Im just justifying one option. There are justifications for the other and I miss having a lot of free time on my hands and wish I didnt hate going to the mall.

Yea Im a snob when it comes to wasting time. I HATE doing anything I dont want to do during the weekend including grocery shopping. I try to order everything online. Heck, I even hate goign to the dispensary to pick up my meds. The opportunity cost isnt worth it to me.

And I dont think know if my preorder is guaranteed although they claim to only sold the stock theyre expecting to get, which I hope is true

I know I'm super late but that debt collector post had me trying so hard not to laugh at work. The thought of people going through mental gymnastics about answering random phone calls is great.

I hope y'all get called, I got too lazy to even get the one ticket I might have gotten. F* going to North Riverside mall on a Holiday of all days. Imma be pretending like I have a shot on Saturday and then pretending to be surprised when they sell out before I choose my size. can't wait.

At this point with refunds I'll gladly buy 2 legit pairs for $300

Will it even be possible?
 
What kind of cars yall driving where a average daily commute is a gas burner? Instead of these Chicagos go cop a valve job. I drive a 92 Lexus and can get about 450-480 miles on a tank of stop and go traffic in Houston
 
@AirSakuragi  Plug #1 of 3 came through. 1 pair down 2 to go!!! I hope you guys get your pairs (unless you're a reseller), good luck!

The only gripe I have is the stigma that comes from peeps, who feel superior about how many options their area has or how over and over cats are like what you don't have a hook up or so called conx. Like I'm ova 30, the chances that I know anyone still working in the mall are slim to none. Even if I did I would expect them to only be there for a short time (entry level ) and move on up or in life in general. I'm happy for those in here who have significant others, friends and fam willing to help out. I don't like random peeps calling me out the blue for anything so I decided not to do the same. The nearest spot for me was a 4hr drive their and back to et 4 raffle tkts and would've had to do the same to p/u. Just wasn't worth it. Please stop saying we are all going to eat cause we aren't. I completely understand the reputation JB threads have. I tired to see the good.
 
one of my 3 "connects" i spoke of just called. i was expecting him to have to pull some strings to get my pair from another store bc his store, which is a shoe city, NEVER gets NA OG 1s. he hasn't gotten ANY so far (royals, breds, black toes, shadows, etc). he IS getting CHIs, which i was very surprised to hear. this should mean good news for some. take it for what it's worth...
 
man people will complain about everything 
laugh.gif


man people will complain about not putting in work 

then about people who do 

then about pre orders

then resellers 

then losers who put in tixs (not my opinion i put in 10 tixs so far and have someone holding me down thus far)

then the fact that they lost cause of bots 

then the fact that resellers jack up the price 

or mad at people who have connets or mulitple pairs 

but the one thing that's common is that dude is salty and usually has stricken out or feeling insecure about his or her possible chances

DO BETTER SON DO BETTER 

let people live 
 
For some people, it's not feasible to get a whole gang of tix due to geography or daily life, so if they have to cop a preorder, let them cook.
