Being slightly interested in shoes myself, I told him that I would like to buy some yeezys, after telling him I got his number and after school came to a conclusion on what I wanted and what the price would be. The price that we decided on was $220. Now, I like to see the good in people, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt and the next day gave him $220 in cash at the start of a class we shared. 2 weeks later, he gave me my shoes and I was very happy. Here\u2019s one red flag that I dealt with before he even gave me the shoes; he told me that for \u2018some random reason\u2019 the box got damaged, so he couldn\u2019t give it to me in the Yeezy box. A few days after getting them, I wore them in school, but someone in my class works at a shoe store, and after looking at them, he told me that they were fake. Immediately after I went to the seller and told him that I wanted my money back, but he persisted that they were real, so eventually my entire grade turned on him, threatening to beat him up, so he gave me a full refund. Moral of this sales story, do not blindly trust salespeople, since they may not have your best intentions in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the fall of eleventh grade one of my friends (or so I thought) during lunch told me that he sells shoes.
