Failed to cop retail , on the hunt for resell

850 a "good" price for pirate black boosts ?

$750 is the lowest local meet up price I have seen... but I foresee that price climbing slowly and then peaking out around $1.5K in a year or so

I still remember when the Yeezy 1 resale price was only $350 after release date :rolleyes
 
I don't know dude. What would you consider as a limited release? I mean because every store and their mother got them in. I remember the Yeezy 2s were literally impossible to get on release day. These didn't feel like that at all. I know a lot of people who got backdoor PBs before the release and paid retail. And online wasn't all that difficult. All signs at the moment point to there being a lot of these things out there.
you guys are talking about number of locations but arent considering stock allocation. if 50 stores get 10 piece doesnt mean there are more pairs than if 5 stores got 100 pairs a piece. adidas clearly allocates stock differently than nike does for its big releases so we should get out the nike/jordan brand mindset.

fact of the matter is supply was magnitudes small than demand.

they aren't limited sorry if ya'll are just that delusional, idk if ya'll are try a build hype or what but these weren't limited at all.

Just because it's not limited doesn't mean it's a easy cop. Logic, use it.
 
When people use Flight Club or eBay as a point of reference for resell value..

When people think this wasn't a limited release because of the amount of stores that got them but not factoring how many pairs each store got them..

When people compare the quantity of these to the quantity of Nike Yeezy's as a rule of thumb for limitedness

If the other two color ways look great once pictures surface then I see these dropping in price. I'm sure people wouldn't be so quick to dish out a rack if they have a shot at a 350 at retail again. Resellers would start under cutting just to have funds for those releases.


Once all the 350's release then I see them only going up in price.

ill try and save they hype building until after i cop my first pair
 
People also mistake the demand for the shoe - demand at retail cost is one thing. Demand for the same shoe at an inflated reseller price is a different thing entirely. There is basically NO demand to buy these things at 800. They will sit with the resellers who primarily wanted to resell them.
 
there was an absurd amount of stores that got these.

there was an even more absurd amount of people going for them.

i dont think they were limited...

just an example of demand outweighing the supply.

limited to me is like a HOH exclusive. or ADC only.

not when every site carries the shoe and you have places like even pacsun.

Bro, this isn't Nike. Adidas strategy is completely different. Just look how close together all these sneakers are being released. By years end there will be probably at least three more SKUs for the Yeezy sneaker line. So to compare it's pricing to a Nike released Yeezy isn't justifiable.

ive found a few pairs for 700-750. Havent pulled the trigger on them yet. Waiting for my first pair to come in/prices to drop a little more.

Exactly, They are not your typical release.

You had the resellers,
The hype beast,
The people who actually wanted to wear them,
The Kanye Stans & the Kardashian Stans all gunning for this release.

Kanye signed with Adidas almost 2 years ago and has only released 3 sneakers. Prices will climb
 
 
why is there always this irrational belief that a yeezy ever FALL in price?
Cause it happened with the turtle doves........

Go read the thread from the TD drop. Everyone was saying the same thing about the doves. "No yeezy ever drops in price" one week later the doves were down to 750 from the absurd 1300 that everyone thought they would sell for. 

Prices will drop even farther when/if the general releases start flowing.

Limited = Small quantities available for purchase from retailers (not resellers)
This man gets it. Limited has everything to do with how many pairs were made. not where theyre sold.

yes, they were sold at a lot of places but all but a few places had small quantities. Thats a limited shoes. Dont get it confused with exclusivity.

the secondary maket means nothing if 90% of those who copped are trying to resell.
Limited = hard to get hands on.

Anyone can find a pair.

Why are there always NT members with 20 reps who finally got their one pair of "limited" sneakers that try to prop up and substantiate the resell value with their comments to make themselves feel better about their purchase? Welcome to NT by the way.

Yea but TDs have settled in at $500 over retail. Of course the price will drop after the first week
