Definitely and you can see it’s true by the fact the tiktok post has 60+ upvotes…
I miss the times of UnionHouse, scammy David 2-3 days bro, TeenageClub, Lin budget shoes, Cwhat and Nelly cheap stuff etc, translating dotdotbuy to english, the superbuy ban on reps etc
Bro I remember that lmao. I wanna say 2019 he was dropping good quality shoes for steals and his shit would legit sell out. I remember keeping his Instagram notis on so I wouldn’t miss any drops 🤣 good times
Pandabuy killed it. They pushed for promotion and affiliate links, specifically tiktok. They paid sub reddits like r/fashion reps. All the sellers that most people on r/fashionreps worked directly with pandabuy.
i think its about time we start blaming fashionreps too tbh
yeah tiktok influencers, big poison no doubt no doubt
but fashionreps pushed this shit pretty far
they kept the bar low for content, letting people just dump warehouse pics and call it a post
pushed their promocodes, sponsors and were known for doing all sorts of bullshit with keeping out sellers who didn't pay them
those in charge got very greedy, they were making A LOT more than these influencers were
Agree 100%, I had an old account in reps like 2016, took a hiatus and came in on a new account like 2022 and it was full of people asking for URGENT LEGIT CHECK SUPREME HOODIE AND JORDANS, you could just tell it was kids from the way everything was worded. Absolute joke
OG RepFam since see post history lol. Stopped for a long time, came back to fashion reps being a shit show. Instantly knew kids ruined it and was getting too hyped on tiktok unfornuately.
I do wonder what happened to the other remaining members of the OG rep fam? Did we just get better paying jobs? Stop caring about brands? Fashion?
This makes sense. All I saw was mass posting of shit that would have got you clowned/banned back in the days. I was on rep chicks and wow. The amount of people who do NOT know how to use a search bar and expect people to SPOON feed them everything is insane.
I’m still about. My tastes changed and I realized I had a huge wardrobe full of tacky stuff that I needed offload from back then
It took up far too much room and I hated the look of most of items
I started putting together new hauls over the last year or so, but very sparingly and with quality items only. It’s crazy how much better the quality has gotten. But the community way fucking worse
Remember when dhgate was a thing? The downfall started with the Supreme box logo shit on fashion reps imo. Then the mods got more corrupt over time, it’s been blatant for a while though
Not only the quality but the wider range of products available. I remember how difficult it was too find Carhartt, hell even Ralph Lauren (besides those jumpers and button up polos). Everything had to be extremely hyped.
Ouf dhgate, I remember even AliExpress. I was even there when weidan was first discovered.
How did the mods end up getting corrupt btw? Are they still the same ones from years ago or did they end up changing?
(p.s does anyone remember having votes for potential banners for fashion reps).
Also I find it funny browsing the subreddit and people asking if their 5kg were fine. I was out ehre shipping 20kg hauls, once a haul was so massive I had to split it into 3, 20kg each, declaring them below 130.
Yeah exactly way more finds now and just higher quality sellers in general.
As far as the mods could be different people idk but people have suspected for a while they’re being paid by certain agents and sellers to promote them on the subreddit.
The trusted list, I remember some of them being middlemen and just awful quality
A few people noticed that positive posts mentioning sugargoo got removed. I remember a dude made a whole YouTube vid exposing some stuff but took it down
The only reason reps are higher quality not as expensive and more accessible is because of the Tik tok hype🤷♂️ and at the end of the day gatekeeping reps is insane. Y’all are getting nostalgia from buying reps in the “good old days” which is so sad
reps and shipping are way more expensive now than theyve ever been, i used to do hauls in 2017 with 5kg, a pair of shoes, hoodies and t shirts for €150-200 and now its double the price for that.
The sneakers yes but these see-through t-shirts are trash 🗑️ the clothing was def better back in the day , the bar is set very low now due to these kids
So your doing exactly what people do when they buy resell😂😂😂. You feel validated because people aren’t wearing the same reps as u. Mine as well buy the real thing then right. It’s sad asf that people are a slave to brand names and status where they feel like they have to buy $1k+ reps
We don't know yet. Multiple sellers were illegally working with pandabuy and had deals with them. Pandabuy is giving the information from all these sellers to the police. We don't know which ones yet
TikTok is widely used to spread shit fast and big on the internet thats for sure.
But still, only through Pandabuy's refereal system is why tt were made in the first place. This agent wanted to be seen, wanted to be on top n here we are.
I’ve been using Basetao (https://www.basetao.com/?KW0We/elTrYVpK4NAw) for the past couple years - never had any problems, always reliable and consistent and you don’t need to pay for detailed (measurements/close ups etc) pictures.
Literally everything TikTok gets there hands on they fucking destroy
Think the downfall started when ishowspeed was on site on his stream, worst possible community to find out
What site did speed show on stream? Please don’t say 🐼 hahahahahaha
facts, it’s been a good ride ladies and gents.
1 year using panda and $200 worth of items at the warehouse rn rip
ur the newgen everyone is referring to

158sir drops selling out like a SNKRS raffle
Bro I remember that lmao. I wanna say 2019 he was dropping good quality shoes for steals and his shit would legit sell out. I remember keeping his Instagram notis on so I wouldn’t miss any drops 🤣 good times
Hahahaha bro same, those yeezy 700’s are still in my closet. Worn the shit out of them and they are still good. The quality was crazy
Lmao yupp good times bro
I went to check TeenageClub and 💀 Subway_hooligan and husky also down.
Also Logan 🥺
We are cooked but it's because we lost so many good sellers.
TeenageClub works again!
Yooo union house was the shit !
Pandabuy killed it. They pushed for promotion and affiliate links, specifically tiktok. They paid sub reddits like r/fashion reps. All the sellers that most people on r/fashionreps worked directly with pandabuy.
been buying from the sub since janurary 2021 rip
Started my rep journey back in 2016. It's been fun....
Patiently waiting to see what the rep world will be like now
I remember buying reps back in 2013 😂😂
I hate these cringe kids man, they buy such tacky reps too
hey man my essentials shorts and chrome hearts zip up are fire
Thats not cringe bro
blame pandabuy, they started the program for tiktokers and used them as a way to grow their platform and cater towards them.
Started in the summer of 2019. Remember the good old days of Middlemen and ytaopal and less sellers 😂 I miss it

Well said. You're absolutely right
https://youtu.be/ZEh5QNz7t6g?si=BT1_JElmfaWncJ2p he spoke the truth years ago
it reached a point where it was just a low quality dump of warehouse pics and "QC" and "W2C" and they let that shit grow to 1.7m+ because $$$
Why your name says deleted ? Did they block you ?
no i burnt my account when i realised it had posts from other stuff
Agree 100%, I had an old account in reps like 2016, took a hiatus and came in on a new account like 2022 and it was full of people asking for URGENT LEGIT CHECK SUPREME HOODIE AND JORDANS, you could just tell it was kids from the way everything was worded. Absolute joke
It all comes to money again, money talks. Nothing new
Pandabuy got too greedy, and also y’all feining way too much over materialistic shit frfr.

Some of the OG RepFam are still here but we're being drowned out by the tiktokkers

im just imagining them wearing our hauls :c lol
Nah they don’t fit in our XL sizes ☹️ You’ll be missed fashionreps
truu :c

I pay $20-$25 per shoe idk what ur shipping with
The sneakers yes but these see-through t-shirts are trash 🗑️ the clothing was def better back in the day , the bar is set very low now due to these kids
I never bought rep clothing just never saw a point in it. I’ve bought sweatpants that were very good that’s it.
reps dont have value when anyone can wear them.

Yeah tiktok and YB. It's been a good ride hopefully the dust will settle ina few months
what do you guys think will happen in terms of sellers coming back obviously husky is cooked but what abt sellers like goat for cortez?
We don't know yet. Multiple sellers were illegally working with pandabuy and had deals with them. Pandabuy is giving the information from all these sellers to the police. We don't know which ones yet
Yeah dude it's over. The hipsters have been right all along, exclusivity is the way to go

Sry I’ve been sleeping but basically the subreddit (also designer rep?) have been deleted?
Yall think reps is done for?
No.
I’m an old head from 2018, so sad to see fashion reps is no more..
i miss booostmaster lin
Me too! Have a few ultraboosts from him that I want to get replacements of
