they do look good - but if you look at the pics closely, you can tell that he really exaggerates the condition of the shoes. first of all, the toeboxes are clearly extremely stuffed to hide the creasing. second, the stamps on the insoles are a few wears from being rubbed off completely, which doesn't happen after only "several" wears. third, you can see the fading of the stars on the front of the soles, and he doesn't even offer a close up shot of the heels of the soles - in fact, in the one pic that might show the condition of the heels of the soles, he actually angles them away from the camera.
anyway, i would've paid the $145 that you originally sold those for... but if anyone pays anywhere close to $523, then shame on them, they deserve to get ripped off. hell, if anyone pays close to half that, then they just haven't done their homework. there are very few pairs of forces that i would drop that much $$$ on (and believe me, i have in the past), and a pair of atmos, even if completely DS, is not one of them.
i think i'll send him a message asking him for pictures of the heels of the soles, as well as the unstuffed toeboxes - anyone want to bet he doesn't respond, or says something elitist like "if you even have to ask, blah blah blah..."?
edit: he doesn't even accept questions on ebay... i wouldn't buy anything from any seller who is unwilling to answer questions about his product.
