(No Buy, Sell, Trade Posts) Nike Golf Burlington, Ross and TJ Maxx Finds (MERGED)

[MichiganMan]

We need something more accessible for us members here to do this than FB. It’s garbage not everyone knows about it, want it or have it. We all have accounts here. I’m reaching out to the mods with no response about a swap area for these. And your right plenty of items that were hot deals have ended up being flipped on here and nothing said. Just shoes which doesn’t really make sense.

 

I’m all about helping other members out even though I just got burned here recently by someone, who HAD to have a pair that my wife ran back out for the next day. We were going back and forth about getting them to him and he wanted a $26 pair of shoes to be cheaper than $40.13 shipped ($13.75 USPS flare rate box, looked regular ground which ended up $40.05 shipped total. Then SILENCE!! How can you REALLY be upset with pair when released $175 and now $40 shipped by a member that helped you out only to go silent!!?? Bull***t!!

 

Lol, you’re a better man than me! I would’ve been jaded to the entire help a member out after that story.

 

A certain member in another DonD topic was scamming people too. He begged me to tip him and then took forever to refund me my money. Just the cost of doing business.

 

It’s part of the reason I just went full resell mode on eBay so I can get my sizes.

 

In fairness a lot of the starting members helped out

 

I sold a bunch of them last summer to other members. I'd mention what I saw available at my store and they'd ask if I could buy them and ship them out. I agree with others up top that I was making like $5-$6/pair. That's peanuts compared to the time and energy it took to buy these shoes for others and then mail them out. As is said above, selling a brand new pair of shoes for $40-$45 when they were retailing for $135 or higher is a great deal for all involved and better than the prices you'll find on eBay.

 

I would love a swap section. There were pairs I really wanted last year (black or blue Chukkas) that never made it to my area, but I don't have FB and refused to pay $90 for them on eBay. A swap section would be excellent for all involved, as long as it's treated with the same rules/respect as the BST and abusers are appropriately dealt with.

 

Can confirm, MichiganMan hooked it up last year, good dude. A swap section would be ideal.

 

My advice to everyone that wants to stock up on some good shoes for cheap:

 

1. Check BCF and Ross early and often. Assuming the flippers don't get them before they hit the floor, a good shoe drop only lasts a couple days before it's picked clean so if you're not stopping in often you are likely to completely miss it.

 

2. If you see a desirable shoe, buy it regardless of size. Worst case you sell it to help fund a purchase of a shoe in your size, best case you get a swap going, sometimes with multiple parties. Also you have a 30 day return policy so it's risk free, if you can't get rid of it you can always return it.

 

3. Try to coordinate with other members that live in your same area, that way you can cover multiple stores much easier.

 

I appreciate it. The way I see it, we're all a small part of a larger community. In order to make that community better, we need to have each others best interests in mind. If that means I buy a pair of shoes for someone who doesn't have access to them, then so be it. Just because we don't have our real names associated with these accounts, doesn't mean we can't act like decent people to one another.

Nothing in the Kalamazoo, MI store. Cashier said someone came through the night before and spent $600 on Nike shoes.

 

 

hope he got 4 flat tires on the way home :)

MichiganMan also hooked me up! Thanks again! I wish I'd see some locally that were higher in demand. I actually never saw any at bcf, just ross...and they were ones that nobody wanted.

Last year, I went to 5 different BCF's and 3 Ross stores, and only found a pair of teal chukkas in sz 7. So I am totally reliant on the FB group for someone to come through--was able to snag a pair of fruity pebble chukkas last year and was happy with how everything went. Happy hunting to everyone this year.

Only pair I saw at the Chattanooga TN location of BCF. I’m not up on Nike Models. Which are these? Also theywere either 10.5 or 11.5.

At least you are seeing some. Gives you hope that there may be more filtering your way soon. Good luck in your search!

I dropped by the BCF in Southaven, MS this afternoon and found a couple of pairs. I am not familiar with Nike shoes. What models are these? The first was size 11 and the second was a 10. Both were $24.99.

 

 

[theedge27]

First pair is lunar command 2 I believe. Second is lunar fire

[Zachilroy]

Man some of you guys are coming across amazing finds. PA/NJ area is just the red explorer2s at BCF and Ross has been bone dry. Very jealous of some of the TW models and Lunar Fires....

 

The thrill is in the hunt though I suppose. Plus the girlfriend is adamant that I have enough ?

yes PA is dry, the "thrill" is turning in to wasted time and frustration lollll

So got an idea in the meantime for us hunters and finders for sharing/looking, I have sent an email into management and am awaiting word back. Check out my profile and feel free to do the same if wanted. When something new is found, state something like "New Finds.." or something. What do you think?

[NAM2212]

If the GroupMe chat is still running it was super easy last year. I got a new phone and never reinstalled the app. Anyone still using it?

[Nick081974]

I looked and it said it was deleted. I was part of the group last year too, guess people were annoyed by being alerted all the time with comments flying back and forth in the app

[browne11]

Really hoping to find a pair of those gray and green tw17s that others have found. Those and the armory navy am 90s were the shoes I wanted last year and didn’t pull he trigger on.

The profile thing only works on desktop. On mobile it doesn't show what you're trying to show. I think you should just use facebook lol.

The orange ones look a a little loud. They don’t have spikes either. The only shoe I found that doesn’t have spikes I like are the AM90 bottom and the vapor control type bottom

P.S. not sure he’s going to find anyone willing to swap with him. I, for one, will not.

I suggest pre-banning Gh0st and anyone he might possibly be related to. See DoND driver head thread (recently locked) for their email addresses and “best practices.”
