Most likely a repeat question but anyone know the production run on these?

I thought $125 for the Statue Of Liberty's was BAD enough of a mark up.

if they're going for 250 resale then even 150 isnt that bad, consider retail is 109 with tax (at least in CA) it comes out to 120...Some shops were giving t-shirts so 150 wouldnt seem that unusal if a tee were included. I know what you mean though, shops are just taking advantage of the demand though cant really blame them considering all the SB flops lately, they have to make up the losses somehow.

yeah. we heard that like a thousand times from you guy.Originally Posted by elcerrito91
what i'm saying is that though they are 150, you would make that up plus 100 by selling them for 250, thus the 150 retail really isnt that high considering the potential return......Skate shops dont jack prices up because resale is high, they jack it up because demand is high....if demand is high and supply is low then resale is high...my point is that resale and shops' prices are unrelated. Resale is determined after the shoes leave the shop and is a byproduct of demand.
I dont resell and never have sold a pair in my life, I even admit to overpaying on a pair of worn awayguns, but I like them so much that I didnt mind. I'm just saying that 150 isnt that expensive considering the market value and considering the fact that even at retail they would be 120.
I'm with you man, I wouldnt want to pay 150 either, but think of it from the shops' point of view. If they have a shoe that is in high demand and people are willing to pay as much as 150 for them then why would they give up that potential profit and sell for MSRP of 109?
I think there is or there used to be a rule saying that shops couldnt jack up the prices or else they would their account, can anyone shed some light on this issue?
