I have a few cashed up bogan tradie mates (all drive modified ford utes) that buy every single jordan/ewing when they are released... no matter what the style/colour etc. they spend thousands every year

i just don't get it

I know a guy who collects em...He has boxes stacked to the ceiling, they never leave the box, and eventually get sold at those sneaker freaker meets... so that he can buy more shoes that will never leave the box...

Seems strange to me, fair enough if you're gonna wear em, or even display them if that's your thing...but to buy em to sit in a box to sell for a small profit, to spend on more of the same, doesn't do it for me...

far better ways to make money..

Well considering they are already going for double retail on resale market it's pretty easy to understand imo

Yeh, but the people I am referring to have no intention of selling them... in fact they really only seem to do anything because it's what their mates/workmates do.

Guess it's same as those dudes who have massive car collections that are never driven, only looked at.

Some shoes you can make money off, others will stay the same or lose value. Same as cars really.

Well we can safely say the above ain't me! Haha

Yeh I display mine I mean I have no reason to buy them but I guess for me it's a hobby some people have hats. Model cars stamps etc it's not like it's some financial strain on me and I'm selective all the ones I have are worth more than what I paid so if I was so inclined I'd just sell em and move on so really no loss to me either way

There are some I wear but very very few

Hamish y u describe all my pet peeves in one post?

That damn shoe thread has made me add at least 5 pairs of shoes to my "collection" (and I used to be very anti collection), but I do wear all my shoes.

I f**kin love dudes like this, half the time they sell shit for significantly less than resale or even retail value or they get bored and sell up everything with a 99c start on ebay. You end up with DS pairs for like $60.

Then you're either not looking hard enough or not patient enough.

Sounds ambitious but I only really get the reebok / jordan or Lebrons so perhaps they are more popular than stuff your chasin.. I've seen some go for retail or slightly over never below for DS

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
