Got myself onto an adidas FB page in the past few days, my word some of the prices are ridiculous. Tahitis went for over 300 and some Ardwicks that were only 7/10 condition (realistically they were probably an 8) went for £710. I sold some gumsole Gazelles to a mate a few weeks ago because I needed the space, BNWT and I only asked for £35, could have got £100+ on there easily, might have to have a dig around and see if I can find my other BNWT pairs, might get a decent price for some.
I like trainers but for me I like to wear them, no point paying £200+ for them to sit in a box in your house, I'd rather buy a nice £70 pair to wear.
What page is this? I have a lightly worn pair of Hawaii and Gazelle Super, as well as a few things that have never ventured outside of their boxes. If there's absurd money like that going round I might just have to cull the herd a bit.I like trainers but for me I like to wear them, no point paying £200+ for them to sit in a box in your house, I'd rather buy a nice £70 pair to wear.
Some Jan purchases. Had been after the AF1 wheat mochas for a while, the ACG's were just because I've been sitting indoors thinking about the outdoors. Realised the Nasu's don't really go with jeans so cargo's on order. Got a dirt cheap pair (£30ish) of NB 997's too but they aren't really pic worthy.

yes, I now try and get clothes with minimal logo’s etc..... my current fav’s are my carhartt hoodies from the WiP range (i think) that are completely plain and have a small carhartt C logo on the sleeve/ cuff. but very good quality, but i’d hope so at £60-70!
t-shirt’s i mainly wear plain coloured t-shirt’s, quite like h&m for price/ quality/ fit. their ‘premium cotton’ ones are decent. keep meaning to try uniqlo for T’s.
If you like boxy/oversized t shirts then I'd recommend the Uniqlo Airism oversized ones. t-shirt’s i mainly wear plain coloured t-shirt’s, quite like h&m for price/ quality/ fit. their ‘premium cotton’ ones are decent. keep meaning to try uniqlo for T’s.
I've got about 6 of them now in a range of colours, they are almost like a sports t shirt lining inside, very comfortable and they do not crease at all.

Bought the same but different (grey, black, yellow) and was only saying this morning I haven't worn a pair so consistently in a long time. Love em. Although my seven year old just rolled her eyes and said ‘Daddy, I can’t believe you’ve bought another pair of trainers!’

They're either 9.5 or 10 mate, if I'm totally honest I can't remember which! They're a nice shoe but I wish I'd bought the Tobacco Rivea as they were a slightly different tone of brown that would suit my taste more.
I am a 7 so not good for me, thanks though!There are a few lads on here who collect adidas, otherwise if you have insta give Danny a message and he will see if there are any swaps available!
I love the hawaii, think its a great trainer. The tabacco are also nice, less ginger more pastel.

Think you have to be invited on, not sure though, try searching for it. I only got vouched for a few days ago by a lad I know who's been on there a while.
Stockholms and Dublins are going for silly money too, saw some go for over £200 the other day, condition listed as 6/10 (realistically 7/10).

Could probably make a grand with no sweat if I wanted to though BrabusMog said:
Cheers for that, might take a look but not a fan of offers pages and non brand specific pages, some of the offers I’ve had PM’d to me on jackets have actually annoyed me in the past Could probably make a grand with no sweat if I wanted to though
What jackets (or brands) out of interest? Could probably make a grand with no sweat if I wanted to though I've been on Massimo Osti forums for years, you struggle to shift most jackets, yet lads on FB pages will pay what you want plus another 20-30% usually, from my experience anyway.

I lost my temper once when I was selling a 30 Anni Tela smock and someone PM’d me an offer of £75 and a 6/10 Micro Reps field jacket my way
I just Stick to brand specific pages usually, but will whack stuff on the Keep it Casual page if it doesn’t move within a day or so.

Mainly Stone Island and Paul & Shark, shifted on a few Moncler’s before I stopped buying them as well.

Sounds like we're into very similar stuff, we may have crossed paths at some point on social media somewhere.I lost my temper once when I was selling a 30 Anni Tela smock and someone PM’d me an offer of £75 and a 6/10 Micro Reps field jacket my way

That's why I usually just sell to lads who are vouched or from the forums I'm on, otherwise you get pissed around or the gits try and say your goods never turn up, but the FB pages are where you get good money rather than ok money.
Those 30th Anni smocks are fetching good money. Beware of buying anything without a certi logo now, plenty of fakes around, google 'Busystone' and have a browse, the quality is getting better and better, scary really!
Best leave this here, otherwise I'll be talking about it all all night
