Your're missing my point....

Just because they say win "1 out of 10" doesn't mean that they were only allocated 10 pairs.

I quoted a guy that has been arguing that even though many places got them they only received 10 pairs from adidas.

First of all a 10 pair allocation doesn't even make sense...

Most importantly it is all speculation to say that "a lot of stores got 10 pairs"

That was my point.
Yeah, just pointing out that for the raffle they only had 10 available to sell. They might have had more allocated and not telling people but for the sake of the raffle they are only giving away a shot at purchasing 10 pairs.

dude from nice kicks in the video specifically stated "We only got 10 pairs because we're a boutique"

take it for what its worth. my local kicks usa (the only store within 45 minutes of where i live only had 10 pairs as well. and said they had similar stock at the other 2 locations that sold them.

just in case you missed my response


"i was just watching their live fered on periscope. the guy was sitting with a pair explaining some of the rules and he said they got 10 pairs. and since people are allowed to comment someone said "really only 10 pairs" and he said "yes only 10 we're a boutique not a chain"

Yeah I was submitted before I saw the reply. But my point still stands... Just because he said it on social media doesn't make it true... It's not as if he showed the manifest....

The whole "yes only 10 we're a boutique not a chain" is BS

Spot I know in DC is a boutique not a Chain...

They got way more than 10 pairs....

But back to my other point....

store allocation is only truly known by Adidas and the shops.... It's not like NK dude was going to say "yeah we got 50 but only offering 10 to the public"

But ill digress. I't doesn't really matter.

I just have a thing about calling out flawed arguments...

also my local kicks usa was one of the locations of their entire chain to get them and they got less than 1 full size run. 10 pairs as well
Tried to check out the feed but it ended, did they finish picking out the winners? Wanted to see live via streaming how I'm gonna get an L but missed it!

Anyone peep the YT video on adidas wait page on the day of the release, and actually peep the COLORS of next 2 shoes?

*COLORs not the shoe
 
 
it is against rules, but just do contact buyer/seller

ebay doesn't let you send email addresses in messages to "protect their buyers," but it's more so to make sure they cut their cut

ways around this are sending a pic of your email to send PP invoice to
how risky is it to just flat out say in your listing "message me for invoice" or something like that? I see that sometimes but seems like an easy way to get ebay to close your account
 
The NK's raffle is starting! Goodluck everybody especially those that haven't locked up their pair yet!

its not a flawed argument. at the very least I'm going off what retailers are saying. What are you basing yours off of? 50 pairs in 1 spot still makes them limited. that barely 5 size runs. 100 pairs in one spots isnt a geneal release either. when multiple places are sitting on 100+ pairs THEN theyre not limited. whether something is limited or not isnt up to OUR speculation. If you think adidas doesnt have teams of people doing market research you have no idea how a business is run. Adidas, Nike, Jordan Brand has every ability to satisfy demand. They make millions of shoes a year. When they cut off production (aka LIMITING QUANTITY), KNOWING what the demand is like that is a LIMITED release. theres is no magic number that makes a shoe limited.

honestly never done it as seller, but think you only run into issues if someone reports your listing. don't think they monitor that actively. 

i've gotten violations for listing other item (selling gucci and including louis vuitton in title) - they've only ever given warnings so imagine it's similar

It's not that serious bro. eBay doesn't crack down that hard. Just don't cancel too many auctions within one month. That's when they get suspicious

I normally just put "Message me with offers or if you need more pics"
 
Man I was so excited, thought I was about to get a pair, but all were gone

Thanks to the NTer who sent me the link

Felt like this time it was at my fingertips
 
Missed the NiceKicks raffle

I feel like when I stay up with the thread it's nothing but a UPS MyChoice advertisement. When I leave , restocks and raffles come out of nowhere

by the way guys a few paint companys say that beluga is a very dark navy blue, so if the shoe name is based off the actual color we can expect anavy 350
