Nike MAG replicas (V2 and V3 only)

linkhero said:
I talked to a small seller whose very reliable for getting replicas at some of the cheapest prices on reddit, and his people are only able to do $450 shipped at the lowest. He's completely fluent in English and that is the quote he gave me. His other replicas are significantly cheaper than the rest so I have no reason to doubt him. I asked him if he could go down to $400, and says currently with the factory price that it's the best he can do. If anything, David's people probably get better prices because they buy significantly more from these black market manufacturers in China, it's that or his site is taking a loss with these replacement pairs he sends out for under $200. Asking him, he probably wouldn't tell.

I honestly don't think David would take a loss for a customer. I think that $120 replacement price is highly indicative of what they pay. And it's probably also priced up enough to cover shipping as well. I think the shoes are likely $100 or less to the sellers.

And every seller no matter their price claims they can't lower due to factory pricing. David lowered his price lickety-split from $600 to $500 after someone here posted another seller who was selling for $100 less. So that price seems to come down awful fast if the seller has a real competitor offering a better price.

They've replaced cheaper replica shoes (<$200) for people out of their own pocket when they've screwed up so I don't keep it out of the realm of possiibility. His people certainly make enough money from all the dozens of other replicas that they sell that they could take a loss and be fine. Whether they do with replacement Mag pairs or not... I lean to unlikely. I think it's unlikely but thats only when you consider the total money they receive after the person already paid for their first pair of Mags. $460-500(original purchase)+180-200(replacement w/o box, charger, items)=$640-700 <- they can do this fine. Sell Mags for $200 outright? They would be losing money

As for the other sellers, each one probably has their own math to their markup but looking at all the other places selling V3 for a similar pricepoint of $500 or more expensive than David, tells me this shoe still isn't being sold to Chinese sellers very cheaply. I trust the seller I talked to about this, he's not some random on the internet. Even helped me out with Chinese (because youtuone's agent English was poor) so I could ask photos from youtuone so I wouldn't get screwed over.

3rd time lucky for me, here's the latest set of QC photos. Definitely taking these. Look great and the soles seem a little less yellow too, bonus! (Or maybe it's the backgrounds)

David definitely makes a margin on everything, but he does serve his customer base well, so I'm sure there are things he'll have to cut a loss on to keep the redditsphere from going nuts, despite their incessant rants about shoes not being 1:1. At the end of the day, they're replicas and they're all be brokered out to these guys.

I've used David for a while on certain things and without a doubt he's been pretty fast on responding. His team is pretty good too, despite their broken english.
linkhero the other guy, Chan can't get it at that low because he doesn't stock many of them. I've heard nothing but great things about his shipping speed and customer service though.

I wonder what the freight companies are charging these guys to ship the US all the time.

Yeah, this is Chan that I'm talking about. It's just confusing for me to mention him by name here because people are not familiar with him
 
Just for your information guys the V3s cost them 100$ per pair ...
Just saying ...

Around $450 is still considerably better than any option on the market before the V3 came out. I don't really care how much the reseller paid for them initially as the price of modded V2 or MP that ended up not nearly as accurate as the out of the box V3 was way upwards of $1,000. And it is still only a fraction of the price of originals these days.

Anyone know how long your order from David takes to deliver in the states? Like if I order today will they arrive in time for Xmas?

For sure. When the original V1 replicas came out I was thinking to myself, typical China, is never going to get an accurate replica of such a limited, complicated shoe. This had to have been roughly around the time the 2011s were going to come out. Then the V2 was announced and early photos looked more promising than the shoe ended up being. A decent attempt but expensive for how inaccurate it was. That we're even at a point with a 98% close replica to the real shoe out of the box is really awesome. That it's somewhat affordable is even better. We all wish the V3 shoe was cheaper, and I've gone to great lengths to look for a seller that will go lower than the lowest prices we've seen so far with valid sellers that we know of, but as I've learned with youtuone- as of this moment anything lower might be some bait and switch scam.

Chan quoted me $450 shipped for V3s.

Yup, that is his current price. If it wasn't so hard to get a hold of him, more people here would probably be interested in using him

If they aren't factually applying those same policies to the Mags, then those policies are irrelevant. And if they have that kind profit margin, that would tend to show they can lower the price. And I never said anything about selling V3 for $200. I think they should be south of $400 though.

The "standard" price among the sellers is not an indicator of what they are paying for them, only what they want to sell them for. And at the end of the day, salespersons job is to sell to you. If that means providing a bit of courtesy service they do that.

It's just my observation of how they've dealt with business before. He's done giveaways as well. I'm not saying they (David and rest) aren't stingy or are unable to go cheaper but that currently a lot of sellers are not in the position to get it at a good price where selling the shoe south of $400 is worthwhile for them. Especially when they can buy adidas yeezys, nikes and jordans cheap then sell for outrageous prices of replicas $100+, if you get what I'm saying
 
Got my replacement mags. They look excellent other that an indent near the toe on the left shoe on the right side of it. Any way to get rid of the indent? Also, they told me they'd ship it with a charger as well since I was going to sell my other pair. Of course, I didn't get a charger with them.. So I emailed Rebecca about it. I kinda had a feeling they would forget, she even added it to the notes on the order but I didn't get it :/

Well, from my perspective it's difficult to spend $450 on a shoe that has a very high probability of breaking in a very short time after buying.

And these things are priced for people that collect. Who wouldn't bat an eye at spending hundreds of dollars on a pair of shoes. For people like me, who don't collect, who just buy shoes normally, it's a very hard price to pay. Even the V2 at it's original $250 was a shocking price to me.

So for now, I plan on trying to get some V2 or maybe the 'Sport' Mag for cheap since the prices are falling.
