So recently i picked up a pair of this years full tilt booters for free at a movie premier. and i don't know whether to sell them back to the shop for 250 (which will give me store credit towards a jacket i need) or keep them.

right now i already have a pair of hotdoggers from last year and my feet have stopped growing since then.

Can't sell them on here because selling shit on NS is sketchy.

PS. is there any real difference between the two? like width and such?

Booters are the influence shell, 102mm last and wider throughout. Hotdoggers are the old raichle mold, so yes they are substantially different. If your boots fit you, return these and get yo jacket thug.

You literally can not fuck up selling on NS unless your retarded.

1.Post your Boots with pics prices and info

2.Be patient

3.When the right offer comes through request a PAYPAL payment

4.Once money is secure in your PAYPAL account head on down to the local post office and ship em away

^Best option

I've sold a bit of stuff on BST here and no major issues. But just to play devil's advocate, the downside is who you're dealing with. 90% of the time its some kid who's on his parents paypal account. He offers 200 dollars plus shipping, tells his mom that he needs 200 dollars in his paypal then comes back and goes ok I'm sending $200. I've had kids pay me in USD when I've specified CAD. Not a big deal now, but when the CAD is 5c/$ higher, it adds up. Not trying to bash the BST here as I have had lots of good transactions, but just make sure everyones got their head on straight.

Yeah dude I'd sell em. The booters are way too soft IMO. Peeps say that about most full tilts but the booters are the only ones I though "I'll break my ankle in these" lol but I'm a bigger guy too. If your sketched about selling them here though jus throw em up on eBay with a buy it now or somethin. Kinda sick though that ya won a pair. Good on ya.

actually yes they can take it right back, if you use paypal and open a claim then they will literally take it right back out of your paypal. Happened to me when i sold my Nikon d700(talk about being dicked out of a shit ton of money) the guy got away with it but luckily my homeowners insurance covered it( that took 8 months to deal out)

so one thing no deal is ever really a safe deal but i trust people on here more than i trust people on ebay because its a community and everyone is generally looking for deals and is honest.

To actually answer your question, sell them back to the shop. If your old boots are still fine, why not keep them and get the jacket you need?

i too live in canada and shipping isnt a bitch to the states at all. especially because there is a larger market and more NSers in the states than in canada. You, if you wanna sell i dont think that you can be too picky where there going, pardon my spelling nad grammar im hung the fuck over
