What's your greatest steal of all time?

purchased a pair of KDs that he wore in the Rookie/Sophomore game from some person in Oklahoma via Craigslist about 3 years ago....

had a friend that lived near the person and did a meetup for me ... I think I paid roughly $50, maybe less

person I bought from said her husband saw Durant donate them at some sort of Goodwill.. 

I ended up flipping them for $600 I think

to this day I'm almost certain its the pair he actually wore.... the shoes were Durant's size, had sample tags, and were worn .... now, I'm sure there ain't too many size 17/18 wearing ****** walking around the suburbs of OKC

and I found a picture online from that particular game and the shoes he was wearing had creases in the exact same areas ....

really wish I would have kept them.... I failed
 
My greatest steal wasn't a pair of kicks but it was a Macbook. Got it brand spanking new for $100. Still have it 7 years later.

The Hufquakes are so fresh that is in fact a steal. That youngster must've needed some quick money for buds or his teeny bopper GF

Found a DS pair of Zoom Hawk Flights and DS Air Dynamic flights at a second hand store for like $12 each. Neither was my size but I was able to flip them both.

Found Escape Huarache Trainers and AM93s in Dr Jays for $10. Someone must have messed up marking them all down to $9.99 cause the next day I went back in for more pairs and they were all up but for like $59.99

Only cause of where I got them: Picked up OG white/red Jordan XIVs in Flight Club DS in my size for $50. Yes $50
 
Best steal I can think of is my pair of Indiglo XIV's. Got 'em for 100 off a Facebook group; I don't think the kid knew what he had on his hands.

Also got VNDS Bordeaux VII's for 130. I randomly went on Twitter one day and said "Yo, I'm in the mood for some new shoes", and a dude offered them to me. Said he only wore them twice and didn't want them anymore. 

I'm a sneaker cheapskate now, so pretty much all the purchases I make could be considered steals.

Free isn't even fair. Where'd you buy the Breds?

That's so fault! I'd be so pissed if my ex girl sold my sneakers. Asking to get violated for something like that

got the '01 bred aJ 11 for like $35 bucks with my FTL disco and a gold coin...to make it worse I got two pairs total. I was hooping in them outside giving no skcuf bc I had a crispy pair on ice..I still have said crispy pair.

I literally stole a couple pair of the 17s too from the store.
