I've always had the feeling that when a retailer starts to feel that a customer is making excessive returns, that instead of telling them, they simply start to ship out more and more models with QC issues in a passive aggressive attempt to make them shop elsewhere.

Scam

Speaking of rare models, I did manage to buy an NWA bowling shoe 757 by NG for $65 this past week

Since he's expanded his team, customer service has improved. With email inquiries it's typically someone by the name of Masha who responds. They typically accept returns on regular in-stock items. Non-returns are for collection sale items. I'm not too certain about models sold under the...

I bet they’re great models!
