Libtech skateboards needs a comeback

nike should make a new sick shoe that everyone likes but name it the CHOAD so everyone has to say and type that word as much as "blazer" or "dunk" or "janoski"

[close]

The 1st run of Nike skate late 90's had the Air Choad.

Correct as usual, King Friday.

Every shoe from that Pre-SB era is better than anything from modern Nike.

If I'm looking to buy something off Craigslist, FB Market, etc, I skip any listing that is prematurely aggressive or defensive.
If the item description has any variation of "don't waste my time", I'll skip it even if it's something I really want and the price is good. These people are almost always insufferable pricks.
Half the time their version of "wasting their time" is anything short of your opening message to them being "I'M ON MY WAY WITH CASH IN HAND TO BUY IT NO QUESTIONS ASKED RIGHT NOW!!!".

Also, what's up with people being all aggressive about "I will not respond to 'is this still available'!"
It's not an unreasonable question, people forget to take their listings down all the damn time, and it takes literally one second to type "yes" and hit send.
I've had so many times a listing will even say some version of that and then I message them and they say "it's sold".

I have some shit listed on marketplace right now and it’s crazy how many people ask if it’s still available or send some insulting lowball offer. Half of them are bots. Rare to get a human being that can actually communicate and organize a sale on the times that I’ve sold items on there. I can empathize with the sellers who do it frequently enough putting up the no nonsense prerequisites

Both are valid ways to think, but as someone who is on the buying end of the conversation a lot since I'm always looking at cars on marketplace, I can def say some sellers are pretty wild.

There are a lot of important questions to ask before buying a car and people get so butthurt and impatient when getting asked them. I've sold cars on marketplace too, so I know how it is but damn, you literally signed up to field these offers and questions.

I won't respond to bots or "is this available" but I don't say that in my post lol.

I personally like when people are asking good questions as it usually shows good intent and a knowledgeable buyer, so it always seems super aggro when sellers get mad at me for that.

[Pbn_jake]

I'm the same on Frankie, it comes down to the fact that I simply don't like egg shaped boards, colored wheels, and essentially a Zero 2000's influenced trick/style selection.

On a separate note, does anyone remember the Flip decks that had the crinkles in them like a Ruffles chip? I thought those were P2. I remember my parents saved and saved and got me a Lib Tech deck for Christmas one year and it had the worst pop/board feel you could imagine.

New wave!

I love craigslist I sold a first gen Miata for 10 grand on there

I’ve noticed that people who nerd out on truck brand, wheelbase whatever generally need all the help they can get. The problem is probably you if you can’t make Indy or Thunders work

[Sisig]

No reason why or examples? I could see it.  Always standing straight low pop is his default

at one point i veered into truck madness but it turned out all the issues i was experience were the result of the deck having a short wheel base. it changed steering and pop and i hated it.

Wheels even more so. And yep, I'll take all the help I can get thank you very much.

Oh well yeah a car is a lot different than some lawn chairs lol

I have some shoes listed brand new, never been worn in the box with clear pictures showing every angle and I’ll get some turd dming me “$20” when they’re listed for $45

After so many of those or people just ghosting you it’s easy to become an ogre

Yea that's totally valid.

Just ride the low-ball wave until that tasty full price offer comes along.

I've had some pretty hilarious interactions with people being crazy on marketplace, I just try to laugh at it lol.

The rails thing made me realize I hate noisy skateboards like you can shake them and it sounds like a shaman is shaking his stick with bunches of beads hanging off.  Only want to hear those wheels meow

You guys remember the wizard staff era? It was like a solid year where everyone was on making wizard staffs with beer cans, used to be in all the videos at the time

I have a friend that does this. Not excusing it because it off-puts me too but it comes from a place of being burned too many times when trying to do fair deals
