5/ A couple of years pass by, and I’m not coming across any Flightposites, Lites, Signature Players, etc. So it completely slips my mind.
A couple of weeks ago, I’m at the flea market with my buddy and his friend and I see a dude who has two pairs of Pureposites. They’re hella old (but in great condition) and there is some glue separation, but I ask the dude and he tells me $40 each. I borrow $40 from my buddy and cop the black pair.
I get it home, grade it, then list on eBay and within 30 minutes - sold. For $150. To a dude with a Mongolian-looking name.
After that pair is sold, I get messages from all kinds of people with broken english - ‘hey if you have any more pairs of these let me know.’
I go back to the flea market 3 times before I find the dude again and pick up the second pair for $40. I grade it, list it, and it’s sold within 30 minutes. This time for $200.
This time, I ask the buyer ‘Can I ask - would you happen to be from Mongolia?’
His response: Woow how did you know???
