Concords are pretty much the exception and old releases are a completely different ballgame all together. I think we're pretty much in agreement on those.The only shoes I've seen do that are shoes nobody wants. I shop online often. As I said, you can find any shoe below the after market value if you search long and hard enough. Hell I bought some Carmines for 223 and we both know they sell in the high 300 - 600 range on the regular. It's usually the shoes nobody really cares about that sell for for around retail such as the Fire Red 4's, Military 4's etc. Till this day, I still see Concords selling for in the 300 - 375 range on a daily basis.You'd be very surprised. I've seen pretty much every GR from this year over the past month or two going either below retail, near retail, or like 10 bucks over retail which means that after fees most of these dudes are losing money. For a lot of the kids these days it's just about having the new J's so that they can take Instagram pics and fit in. The Concords seemed to make a lot of people think they could get rich off of J's. Yes we're still getting quick sellouts, but for those who don't want the headache of lining up, waiting for RSVPs, or taking their chances with 8am releases, it's not that difficult to land DS Jordans at decent prices.
If you're waiting a few years then it's going to come at a premium as the supply will begin to dry up increasing the demand in the process.
A few months though, you can typically find these releases without much efffort. Chicago X's, White Cement IVs, Playoff XII's, Obsidian XII's, Cavs IVs, etc. I've seen them all on a routine basis go for pretty much MSRP. Most of these sellers don't know the right window to operate within in order to maximize profit.
