Most of the NS population is younger guys, but I think most already graduated the 3rd grade.

absolutely not for that price. they are easy as fuck to make, but if someone was selling it for a dollar or two and it was made real nice, i might consider buying one.

well that wouldnt even cover shipping. 10 shipped is the highest i would actually go, because no one would buy anything higher than that. but the duct tape is pretty expensive, and i make them with the cash slot and 4-6 credit pockets, so it takes a while

I'm a fan of duct tape wallets, super slim if made right and still function well, i can barely tell its in my pocket most of the time, which has its drawbacks, but its the way i like mine, i had one of mine for 4 years, decided to replace it this year although it was still in great condition, the new ones sick ill post pics a little later

basically i'm happy with a wallet if it:
-is soft leather
-isn't too bulky
-holds all my shit
-looks like a normal wallet, not a spiderman velcro one
-and lasts for over a year

^^ nah man you need the wallet.

i used to rock a tri fold for a number of years, then i just didn't like how thick it got, so i now have sported the bi fold for about 2 years. love it.

I got my license suspended so I made em and sold em at school. Made $50 off them.

Sold them for: $3 guys wallet, $5 womens wallet

Mine were pretty damn legit if i do say so myself. Guys wallets had two card slots and a plastic ID slot along with a money divider in the main pocket. Women's wallets had 4 card slots, and ID slot, and a button to snap it closed on the front.

I made them in any color/pattern combination they wanted. It was fun for a while, then it got really boring

Usually they are pretty gay, but those are some legit ones.
