hello... I'm new here so hopefully this topic hasn't been covered too much but I just had to put this out there. I'm a work-from-home type guy who has done a lot of stuff on eBay, craigslist, and the local market. I've always been a bit of a shoe freak, so naturally I've spent lots of time searching for a supplier. LOTS. What have I found? fakes, fakes, fakes, fakes, fakes, fakes, FAKES! Now, I KNOW there are people selling authentic nike shoes online WITHOUT a brick and mortar store, how in the world is this possible? Several powersellers on eBay sell hundreds of authentic Nike products. I have dealt with some before and can speak for the authenticity of their product.

HOW are they doing this? There MUST be a supplier out there somewhere.

Maybe some of them get their stock by knowing someone that works in a retail store and get them through a third party?

They may have connections to retail stores,there is also closeout shoes liquidators.

Yes, this is true also. There are liquidators selling new old stock at rock bottom prices when the new models are released. Last week I purchased a few Apple Ipod video 30gb 5th generation at a bargain price. They are all factory sealed but when you run the serial numbers the warranty has expired so they're over a year old to say the least. Once the new ones where released who would want to buy the 30gb when you can get the 80gb for $249.

I suppose it's possible, and it seems like the only thing it COULD be. It's hard to believe that all of them have a retail "hook up." It might be nice to find some overstock pallets... this may be a shot in the dark but anyone have any additional info on that??

Many have retail hook up i applied to sell nike shoes but they said i need a retail store so i went addidas and puma they were fine. I have since stoped trading until after july when i have got my GCSE's out the way i might be able to get you a supplier name if you would like it. Where are you located in the USA
