[derdankhund]

those are fucking gorgeous...too bad i can't afford them...

[mutt225]

look like something id use to go wade in a pond

[djrajio]

Those are horribly overpriced...

[djrajio]

Horribly overpriced compared to whose expert opinion?

If you could provide me with your cheaper version available any where in North America I would really appreciate it.

Right here mother fucker. 49,000 yen. At the current exchange rate 110 which it is now, it would cost 441 dollars! Even w/ a proxy it would be half the price you are charging. Shut the fuck up.

[Fabulaz]

Oh Snap.

[djrajio]

It just pisses me off when people try to jack up the price on shit. So I called him out. And he throws a pissy fit and sends me this pm

Please refrain from passing your spiteful comments on my posts.

These boots are exactly the retail price in Canadian dollars if purchased retail here in Canada.

If you wish to check out the only retailer in Canada for these to set your troubled mind at ease I can provide you with the contact details.

It's not spiteful, its the truth.

[the breaks]

Proxies are the best thing since sliced bread. Too bad most people don't know about them.

So I assume he bought these at Komakino then? Geez... I wasn't aware they charged rape.

[fadingblue]

You provide pictures from a japanese website but and you expect us to assume that you bought these in America (Canada or US whatever it is)?

[grazza5424]

I posted pictures from a Japanese web site as I was to lazy to take my own pictures.

[artificialsky]

You prick! I said US retail price. Do you expect me to charge less than US retail price for shoes in the US, paid for in US dollars on US soil?

Did I mention... US? I'm not going to charge fucking YEN when they were bought in the US at US prices.

Find something better to do with your fucking time than harrassing people on here.

Oh, by the way... it is spiteful when you say 'those are horribly overpriced' instead of 'you can get those a lot cheaper in Japan but I understand that is the going US price'.

Is that clear to you now or do I need to spell it out for you a bit more? Maybe you should get a fucking proxy to ship your next bento box over 'cos I've heard sushi is cheaper there to.

And, might I state... you didn't 'call me out' on jacking prices up. You pointed out they were half the price in Japan. Hardly calling somebody out. Maybe if you had found them in the US at half the price then you would be calling me out. Since you didn't I guess you should 'shut the fuck up'!

it sure doesn't take much to get you foaming at the mouth, does it kiddo.

so where did you buy these anyways?

[artificialsky]

Huh. You got had.

I was excited that Komakino was going to be carrying Julius this season, but now not so much if it's going to be 4x wholesale.

[cbwright]

Just out of interest, what do sizes 1 and 2 translate to?

[djrajio]

Size 1 translates to a 8.5 - 9. Size 2 translates to a 9.5 - 10. But it also depends on the model.

[evisu 2000]

damn son. here's a pity bumpb. >`:

[Guest jmatsu]

i'll take them for 441 u.s. dollars....

[chris]

i think he's the owner of komakino.

i dont see why people are so surprised. atelier doubles the japanese retail for the viridi-anne, attachment, and number (n)ine as well. i think actual the n(n) boutique in NYC charges an extra 50-60% or something along those lines.

while it sucks, its nothing new, and it certainly isnt something to be a cunt about.

[cuddlysheep]

horribly overpriced.

[fadingblue]

At retail you can't complain, but when its buying over the internet vs. buying over the internet, isn't it fair to provide your fellow buyers with a fairer price of the same item?

excellent point

[Guest jmatsu]

getting called out on a service-free interent sales thread is the risk you take for putting something up for sale.

[chris]

yea i guess.

i was just trying to look at this from the standpoint of a business owner, rather than a personal seller.

[artificialsky]

Doesn't the owner have a special thing going with stylezeitgeist? Why would he be selling them here?

[chris]

its free shipping, which is cool, but i havent been buying since the dollar fucking blows -- and why not buy from atelier when the mark up is nearly the same?

[aziz]

lol roastedddd

[mrip]

It's not illegal, it's stupid trying to ask for double price when it can buy bought else where online for half of what you are asking for.

[totally epic]

The same reason I'm defending your abilty to sell these boot at whatever the fuck price is also the same reason I'm defending people using proxies. FUCK THE MAN.

[chris]

wait, so you're not the owner of komakino?
