Just ordered these grey 2010 Bison Tornadoes from CCP collector. I have no experience with CCP tornadoes, can anyone have with more experience and knowledge on the subject who have tried these in particular (or heard from a reliable source) tell me how theo rank up against other tornadoes and if i made the right choice or should have went for another season/material? my friend who sold them had nothing but good things to say, but when there is money on the line i always like a second opinion. i could potentially still back ouy since my seller (who is a friend) got offers from lots of people and has not shipped yet.

I PAID 950$, fairly good price for mint condition tornadoes.

the colour is just what im looking for though.

i obviously didnt want to post this in the yes/no thread because noone would really unrecommend a pair of CCP boots even if they were coated in excrements would they

^ They are a solid buy. I can't see how you will be disappointed with the leather and the colour came out great. The only possible concern is inconsistent sizing.

I asked Sutocorp about their bidding process and was not given a clear answer. Can someone tell me how exactly it works? You send them the maximum amount you'd bid for a certain item, and then what? Will they try to "snipe" the auction or just bid the amount given even if the highest bid is much lower, etc?

I believe they just bid the highest amount right away, just as if you were to bid your max on eBay.

@Trouble.

Yahoo j works different from eBay. At eBay, you could wait till the last few moments to put your desired amount in an attempt to "snipe" the listing.

For yahoo j, there is a refresh mechanism that refreshers the timer for any late bids (below 1-5 mins I believe, can't really remember). This basically means you can't snipe any auctions for the timer will keep refreshing till it is an amount which only the winner is willin to pay. This explains the extremely low bidding prices initially, for if there is a bidding war between 2 parties who are willing to pay an unlimited amount, the listing will essentially never end as the timer refreshes with every bid during its last moment.

In other words, it really doesn't matter if you put your 'maximum/best price' out right away, for the only way to win the listing at a low price is if there are no other bidders willin to pay the same amount you are willing to pay.

@quiet noise

950 usd for a mint piece of 2010 tornadoes is pretty much a steal imo. Prices have pretty much deflated to a smaller amount as of late, but 950 is a very very fair price.

They aren't new.

On Rakuten when the length is listed is that the outseam or inseam? for example, would these pants have an inseam or outseam of 75cm? It's my first time buying from Rakuten so i don't know.http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/k.../051308000921/

[croatoan]

Generally it is the inseam.
