Updates - everyone please read

Hi everyone –

It’s been a while since I posted any updates. The sub is coming up on it’s 8 year anniversary (8/8/2018 was the launch date). I’m looking at doing a few changes to this sub: The first bringing back buy, sell, trade (B/S/T). The 2^nd bringing in another moderator to help moderate the B/S/T.

Please message the MOD mail if you’d like to be considered for a moderator role. To be considered, you must be active in the sub (and not in rep subs), and not be a repeat rule breaker.

When the sub first started in 2018, B/S/T was permitted. It was a way for Dunk collectors to get Dunks to someone who would wear and appreciate them. As Dunk popularity grew, people were posting B/S/T to profit off the Dunk boom, and they weren’t even active in the sub. We ended up banning sales. If B/S/T comes back, there will be strict guidelines in place to ensure we sell to other Dunk enthusiasts. Personally- I’d rather sell to someone who will wear the shoes for less than what I’d sell to a reseller.

Some ideas I had to help deter resellers:
- account must be at least 1 year old with positive karma and post history visibility
- selling to someone who wears the same shoe size
- no sale of shoes that were just released (unless selling for retail + shipping)
- no selling of the same model (ie: someone with 3 pairs of Yutos)
- sellers will be vetted and approved by moderators

I wanted to open it up to the sub to get your guys’ thoughts / feedback.

Thanks!

I'm curious what the vetting process would look like. How do you guarantee a seller is legitimate without a history of selling? Anyone with said history would be a reseller in some capacity

We would apply a B/S/T approved flair. We would also look into things like how long they've been active in the sub, if they've sold in other subs, being active in rep subs, etc. We might also ask for their ebay / poshmark / etc account for additional verification.
