First off, that “CNFANS spreadsheet 2025 new year” thing? Probably worth a look. These spreadsheets are goldmines, seriously. You gotta sift through a lot of… well, let’s call it “questionable” stuff, but sometimes you hit a jackpot. That “3,000+ cnfans popular Chinese products” bit sounds promising. Cheap is good, right? *Right?* Okay, maybe not ALWAYS good, but… worth a look-see.
Then there’s the whole “Tony’s Latest Batch is very good and %100 uncalloutable on foot” thing. Look, lemme be real with you. *Nothing* is 100% uncalloutable to someone who really, REALLY knows Goyard. Like, a legit expert. But honestly? 99.9% of people aren’t gonna be staring at your feet with a magnifying glass. So, “very good” is probably…good enough. Plus, OG batch being similar? Gives you options! Options are always good.
H12 popping off? Heard that. That “saw few comparison with retails and .” bit is crucial. You gotta *see* those comparisons. See how the stitching looks, how the canvas is printed, the whole shebang. Don’t just trust some random dude online, do your research! And remember, QC photos from “scarlettluxury” (that “2000+ AllChinaBuy Finds” sounds intense) can be super helpful.
And don’t forget to hit up r/DesignerReps. Those folks are obsessed, but in a good way. That “Seller List 2023 (Top and Mid tier)” guide? Essential. They’ll tell you who’s selling the good stuff and who’s trying to rip you off. Just be prepared to spend a few hours scrolling. It’s a rabbit hole, man.
Okay, so, *my* personal opinion? Don’t get too hung up on perfection. Unless you’re planning on trying to pass these off as real (which, uh, don’t do that, it’s kinda shady), just go for something that looks good and feels good. Comfort is key! I mean, who cares if the stitching is *slightly* off if you’re rocking those shoes all day and your feet are happy?
And yeah, I know, there’s a ton of info out there. It’s overwhelming. But honestly, half the fun is the hunt! Just take your time, do your research, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. (Especially on that DesignerReps sub. They’re usually pretty helpful, even if they can be a bit…intense about their reps.)
