Quoting

10-70% off of shit that has been kickin around for a few months if not longer. Getting rid of products that have been sitting in boxes is still cool, but if there had been some doper deals to begin with, it wouldn't come to you guys having to liquidate your shit. Plus, I don't buy Medium t-shirts.
Reflection of values... I was down when Jason was running the store- there were lots of combo deals and whatnot. Idk. I just felt like I could order something and know that I was gonna get hooked up. I definitely don't feel as though the current store 'hooks it up' at all. I know you guys have to make money and shit, but I just look at the store and... I can't find the right adjective... it's just lame. Look at the "NS Sticker Pack" for example. The stickers aren't even cool, plus there's like 10 of them. There was a deal a while ago where I literally received a full manilla envelope of stickers for like 10 bucks. That was dope. All I'm saying is that there's a lack of creativity and personality to the store.
The whole point of the Newschoolers store, in my opinion, was to help members rep NS as cheaply and looking as fly as possible while doing so. Now, if I wanted to rep NS, I gotta drop some billz that I don't have (90$ to replace my IF3 hoodie that got fucked up), or buy a small ass, liquidated t-shirt. Disappointing to see the direction the store has taken.
You may not buy medium T-shirts, but there are many people that do. Thats why we have all the way up to 5XL tall T's - which are genuine pro club. I agree that we need some fresh stuff, and thats why we're going the design contest. We want to get fresh gear happening again, and we're going to expand the line to do just that.
I agree with you on the combo deals - We have been thinking we need to bring that feature back and offer some wicked combinations. Sorry about that, its our bad and I do take responsibility for that. We got caught up in trying to offer many different options and forgot to package them together. We'll get on that and thank you for reminding us. The sticker pack you spoke of was big - I believe it was the "big dick pack" you're referring to? If so... well again we can get it back quite easily.
The IF3 hoodie - dude I'm totally sorry about that. You should talk to the IF3 guys about replacing your hoodie. We get them directly from them, so have zero control over the price or what happens with the stock. Contact Felix or JF about it - they're pretty reasonable guys!
Anyways, the store has been experiencing pretty rapid growth and we've been doing everything in our power to dial it in more and more. Its gets better by the day, and I totally get that we need to add more value, more variety, cooler designs, and many other things. However, we have to take it one day at a time so for now, you hold off on your orders and let everyone clear out the older items while we hold our pre-season sale. Then we'll get some ultra fresh shit going, and make sure to create packages and hopefully win your business back in the future.
Ten years and we aint' goin' nowhere.
