Hello,

I found these kicks on the bay:

I don't know anything about these shoes, how rare they are etc. The seller doensn't sell too many different models but he has almost every size for the model he does have. Same for this shoe.Price is 39 pounds.

He get's a 100% feedback from buyers but how reliable is that.

When I think of my holidays in Turkey I think of the enormous amount of fake shit they sell everywhere. What do you guys think?

I don't buy from any seller located east of Germany.

anything from turkey is a no no for me personally, most of it tends to be fake.
They are sciences, shoebacca had them last time i looked, not sure about what sizes they had tho

Man, I wish I could do some shopping @ Shoebacca They got some nice kicks for little money.
I saw the Sciences, but they are in small sizes only. I also found the Superstar Lux-shoes who are quite similar (white/black/red). I like them even more.
I contact Shoebacca before and asked some quistions about customs and extra costs for sending to Holland but they never gave me a normal answer.

Shoebacca's prices are reasonable, some models very cheap even and the shipping costs aren't THAT bad considering they come across the deep blue sea; ~$45 on average to most of Europe and +$15-16 for every additional pair which makes the customs happy.

To find out whether and how much you need to pay taxes or customs fees when the shoes arrive in Holland, you should ask your local customs' office or perhaps PM some Dutch members here.

I don't know the customs limits in Holland but if our limits in Finland could be of any guidance to you.. For clothing anything valued over €22 upto €150 shipping costs included, gets charged for 22% VAT at the customs and anything over €150 gets charged also for an additional 12% customs duty. Tho with my past experiences with our customs, the charged sums aren't always even close of what i had calculated but much much more.

Thanks for the info Grimmy. I checked it out on our customs-site and in Holland it's allmost the same as in Finland, except that the VAT is 19%. I must forget about buying in the States. Buying there can make you a poor man.

[Grimmy]

I know. But in the end collecting supes overall can and probably will make you a poor man, no matter where you buy them from so being expensive is not that good an excuse to not buy from the US.

It's been a long time since I've bought any supes from the US because I've been busy enough with ones I can find in Europe. It'll cost a lot but there are so many sweet exclusive pairs I'm dying to get one day so I will surely buy from some US shops again later on when i get a chance budget wise. It's worth it.
