Question: why haven't the big labels targeted ioffer the way they went after eBay? How about the FBI? Surely what they do is illegal by allowing all the counterfeits. I don't think it should be a consumer's responsibility to have to check on every item for sale. Just shut the whole site down.

ioffer is horrible... stay far far farrrrrr away

if you are looking for a good deal on tributes, I'd post a "Want it Now" ad on ebay and just do regular searches (even better, do a 6-month saved search so that ebay sends the results directly to you!).

amazing (authentic) deals will pop up every once in a while... usually by someone who just wants to get rid of their shoes in a hurry so they can buy another pair lol!

^^ that price is incredible... something has to be fishy. I know Laureen has these in a different color, hopefully she'll see this and pop in with her opinion.

I KNOW! That's why I figured SOMETHING had to be weird. Theres a few other pairs up, the seller has another pair in a 38.5 and there's another seller that has a pair in a brighter purple-ish color and then a black pair with a blue heel and they're all listed for around that price. With the BIN and the cashback that's like RIDICULOUS! They're probably fake, I won't get my hopes up.

^^ if you want you could PM Laureen.. she'd probably be able to help. Also, I would post them in the Nicholas Kirkwood thread, people have helped on authentication there too. I just can't get over the price! You know the saying, "if it's too good to be true, it probably is!" Here's hoping it's not, though! Oh, I would also ask them for more pictures... there's even a possibility the pics are stolen. Who knows! Or maybe they really just need to make a quick buck?! The possibilities are endless.

Wondering about these Nicholas Kirkwoods... seller has sold a few others with good feedback (the only negs are reguarding new with tags claims and stains etc) but the price is so low! These go for like $800+ don't they? I don't have any boutiques near me that sell Kirkwood so I have never seen a pair IRL. TIA.

I PMed moshi, but this seller is legit. I bought my NK shoes from her, and they seem perfect except that the size was mismarked and then corrected. I know that a lot of NK shoes went to 70% off last season, so even though they are gaining popularity, it's still possible to get good prices. The retail on these was around $700 IIRC.
