I get where you're coming from , but to me -- it's not about the time vs. $$.
To ME, it's always been about the release day cop for retail. The thrill of that. Paying resale gives me little thrill other than knowing i'll be getting a pair I really like. It wasn't like I was glued in front of my computer for hours at a time. I would randomly check and re-set the 2:00 timer as I go about my day. Or I would be watching TV in the evening and keep checking. I don't put a price on that because I see it as doing my hobby. My wife understands that (thank God)
Like most here, shoes are one of my hobbies. We spend time on our hobbies--time spent on this message board is one way of looking at it. We're always doing research, looking at photos, earmarking pairs we want in future releases. I don't put a price on that.
Yeah but most of us consider time spent on NT as fun. Most of us don’t consider clicking a timer every 2 minutes as “fun.” I get what you’re saying though, if you get a thrill out of that, it’s no different than the people who used to camp out in cold/bad weather for sneakers, for example.
