so cashbox, just to clarify, the people into this culture (for the most part) are about wearing the clothes on a daily basis (its more of a lifestyle) even if it goes for $2,000 on ebay, who cares, just wear it... what else is the point of having it?

I can understand getting a hold of other sized pieces to TRADE for something in your size, but I really don't understand the point of collecting all this stuff and not wearing it? That would mean you are ultimately in it to either PROFIT from re-selling at one point OR to post your photos online/invite people over to see it to impress them??? I may be missing something, so let me know what other reasons for "collecting"?

It would be sad (although its happening) to see lo categorized with trading cards, vinyl toys, limited release sneakers, etc...

PS - not knockin' the site for collectors of other things, just hate to see this kind of gear categorized with that kind of stuff..
