    He bought overpriced shoes - so he’s a dumbass - and he got them from some rando instead of an actual store. I guess he never heard the term “buyer beware.”

      Yeah I guess you’re right. Amazon really should allow counterfeit goods because in all cases you are an idiot and it’s your fault if you buy them /s

        Just because I had two opinions in the same comment doesn’t mean you should get the fleet the two. If you buy something without verifying its source you are stupid. If you buy overly expensive shoes you are stupid. See they’re two different things. I’m just using this case as a chance to jab at the stupidity of buying the overpriced shoes while also jabbing at the stupidity of buying something without verifying it’s authenticity. It’s a two-for-one.

          Other people spending money on shoes is not your business. If you want to be in favor of a scammer, that’s on you. It’s pretty shitty regardless.

      I think the expression is “Caveat emptor”, though it translates to “let the buyer beware”.
