Buying shoes off eBay?

[Krassus]

I just picked up a pair of Nike Shox at a local store for $150. Checked eBay, and they have a newer model, the Shox TL, going for about $85. So right now i'm thinking of returning these and buying a new pair off eBay. Is there any reason i shouldn't do this? The sellers seem legit - all with hundreds of positive feedbacks. Oh and one more thing, what's 'deadstock'? And do they come in boxes?

i bought a pair of shoes off ebay, they came in a box, just like a shoe store

they were too small, so i gave them to my wife

go for it. are they new in box? how much you think for shipping?

 

[calvinbiss]

my gf says don't do it. she says you HAVE to try them on.

Yeah, you gotta try shoes on.. or you could easily waste $90.

you would think that would work but the way nike makes shoes the size for the same model of shoe isn't precise, and no nike shoes are anywhere near accurate.
