lebronjames10, everything was fine then they wanted more money off me so i told them to refund me in which they replied "it will take 1-3 weeks" then after the 3 weeks i asked how my refund was getting on and they didn't/still haven't responded, so i went to the bank and they made me wait the full 3 weeks, i waited and then went back and got my refund.

It was a farse and tbh i wish i just paid the extra as all the hours i spent getting my refund i could have easily afforded the difference compared to my hourly rate lol.

I didn't want to give in to them though as you can imagine, its the principle at the moment that is the biggest concern, they can't feel like they can do as they please as it will only give them the upper hand to dictate whatever price they want =/

Well that blows chunks. I used LB10 too and am still waiting for them to notify me about shipping or anything else for that matter.

Did they want the balance to bring it up to their now listed $229 or more?

Perfect summation of the latest turn of events. Here's to the cheaper 2013 second batch run of the V2 Mags. Yay?

Perhaps they'll remaster the blu-ray of BTTFII and show Doc Brown pull out a wooden crate of the Nike Mags rather than the "Tube Bag" he used originally!

Here is to me now finishing off the mesh MAG project so I can then rip the leather uppers off and re-do the V1s for 2013.

And (yes I know it was already said) tell Marty to pull is pants half way down his ass because all kids in the [strike]future[/strike] present where their pants this way.
 
i just got an email from pickgoodshoes. to bring up the price another $140. i told them to F-off. That was never discussed in prior emails and no way i'm paying that now. Especially after I just paid the CC bill it was on. So instead as I'm sure a few more of you will or have done I just ordered another pair from Shoesbagonsale.com.

So hopefully I'll get a response from them soon and shoes in hand within the next week.

Well after my many trips to china throughout my lifetime i know its best to barter than dive in for the refund, at the moment i have given pickgoodshoes a offer of $50 and told them that is me being generous, if they say no then i will just ask for a refund but fingers crossed they work something out for me.

I tried the bartering in my email also. I said "I will not be paying an extra $140 after it was never discussed in any prior emails or conversations. You can either send me the mags for the $130 I originally paid. Or I can take my business elsewhere and get them for the same price I originally had on here."

We'll see what happens. I highly doubt they'll even budge seeing as how they said "It's a very wanted shoe". LoL Let's wait and see now
 
Nicely done McFly :)

its very wanted but not at that price, the price they had before is what everyone wanted to pay now they have increased the price it has put off (imo) 99% of their customers.

They will find it funny come the weekend when they have heaps of these shoes sitting about while they scratch their heads on why they are not moving from there warehouse.

I would advise all those who have not spoken to them yet to go down the bartering road as that will help get a better price from them and show them the customer is always right.

As you said though, lets wait and see what the weekend holds :)

All this to rip them to pieces, i think these shoes have driven me mad!

... or everyone asks for a refund and watch the price go down to $90 tops.
 
So pickgoodshoes sent me the email asking for $140 so I'm bartering with them so well see what happens.

Yep. I firmly believe that by February next year, the hype will have subsided so much, that the price will fall dramatically.

Another thing to consider is that BTTF fans are not the only ones who want shoes like these. There are the Nike fans etc.

Once they start to wear them day in day out and the electronics start to fail, (because they will if worn too much, no doubt about it), their 'reputation' (of the shoes) will go rock-bottom.

In reality, I think it is only BTTF fans like us who truly appreciate these shoes, whatever they look like if the price is right :lol, and I do think we are the minority.
 
Not taking the Chinese side here but if markpoons cost about $190 with no electronics,inaccurate decals and yellow soles no pun intended,paying $279 for this replica in my eyes with a few blemishes is still a bargain.Think about it guys,I know they slapped us in the face with this and threw everyone off guard but I just think the value for these will stay the same and not go any lower.People since 2011 are still looking to pay ridiculous prices for knock offs and even spend crazy money on converting them.This knock off is a different breed from any other due to the popularity of the film and sneaker collectors.Ask yourself this question if I offered a completed mag shoe that looked 90% accurate to the original with an almost similar RD box with foam insert for $279 would you buy???

Under the circumstances, personally, no way.

Yes, you are right about the MP shoes at 190 etc, but now, the circumstances have changed.

You cannot compare the previous situation with this one.

It's like when, and just a wild example, people used to make their own PKE meters for hundreds of dollars. Then Matty made theirs for $75, and the vast majority of people are happy with them.

These V2 shoes are now available, and started off at $99.

You have to disregard what the previous situation of unavailability was.

Now they are available, and they will always be available.

The recent price increases are just taking advantage of initial buyers.

Anyways, just sharing my opinion is all :)

You do make a very good point. I was about to pay $190 for the MP shoes and then pay another $200-$300 to have them converted.
