It wasn't so much a misunderstanding of the comparison, more so that the comparison was so extreme that it became obsurd. However, many thanks again for the petty remarks that always seem to raise their head on this forum.
Now, if we can put the digs aside... I'm not struggling to justify their actions, it irritates me however, that all resellers are put under the same umbrella. Again, for the record, I am not a reseller & have bought items in the past that I've paid much more for than I would like to, unfortunately, this is life as you have quite correctly stated.
If I couldn't get this shoe, would I have been annoyed? Very slightly, but I would have accepted it as the case & as someone mentioned at the very top of the thread, potentially bought at a later date when all the hype had settled. I don't have an issue with the majority of the feelings on here, it is frustrating & I was super lucky this time.
I genuinely agree with the majority of what you have said, but when I see people being directly abused & called all sorts of offensive names, that's where I draw the line. im sure you'll agree that inciting abuse at people, as some have done on here, is unacceptable.
Bottom line, everyone needs to relax. It's not going to change.
Right, I'm going back to work, I do sincerely hope that all of you get your shoes at some point, just don't give yourself grey hairs over it! It's not worth the stress.
