[tomtsang16]

bape 3rd anniversary tee is out next sunday (Easter sunday) instead.

asked the bape staff apparently bape are stopping all the number store anniversary tees for all its bape stores worldwide thats why there is no number 3 for hk! Bape are only doing anniversary tees as bape as a whole than the individual stores.

here are pics of the tees

What is octupus card ? Sorry if it has already been asked

It's a rechargable metro card. You can use it at small convenience stores and such too nowadays, or atleast in Japan you could.

[Bape_lovers]

i got a question..any HK heads know good shop that accepts old GUCCI/LV..etc stuff..i heard that MILAN station is okie..any good shops that accept good rates?

[pic9809]

@B_L - milan station (or other knock-offs like paris station etc) prob your best bet

not sure they buy anything other than bags (eg, not sure they'd buy men's belts, shoes, etc), but for the stuff they do buy they give pretty decent prices. i sold them a lewie monogram messenger a few years back and got 75-80% of face value

hit up milan station by LKF (across from yong kee) after bape / hoods / FIL etc

[Bape_lovers]

thanks man! we got to have bt2 meet in HK
