[@eliaslopez1746]

Supreme SB dunk high by any means

[@Switch2404]

If part of the point is to promote eBay’s abilities versus the competition, is not worth spending $40 on UPS or DHL shipping? The winner can will probably not mind paying their tax and duties costs. Please seriously considering this point. I can send you what I spend on other US platforms as an example of a very modest investment by people outside the US. 🇿🇦

[@oscart698]

Y'all should consider bringing Faze Swagg for a sneaker shopping episode. He's been popping off for a while in the gaming/content category, he s super into sneakers and even GQ did a piece on his sneakers collection. Just my 2 cents
