Very. The buyer's mentality has shifted to to the buy then sell mentality. No knock to anyone's "hustle" even though I disagree with it. I

This is why FCFS can lead to problems. Ghost chairs, a ton of people to a chair, etc. For big releases these things always run the risk of reverting to bedlam.
Fulton Ave. should be a fun walk come early Sat. morning if NYC is going FCFS.

right
your whole post is what i talking about
"nobody is camping for over 24 hrs for a $100 profit come on son'
you be surprised
when your precious shoe that you think your going to make double or triple dont sell you be happy to sell over $20.00 over to retail to get your cash back
everybody and they mother resells look at all the past GR releases this year
no money to be made
"making your presence"
its like talking taking shifts at a very low paying job
"it's called taking shifts and making your presence known on the line that way when it comes game time the ppl on line already know you put in some amount of work to claim your spot"
perfect cause now game time is raffles and day long campout's
i proved my point
i'm not tying to argue with anyone but i know what i'm talking about

you act like people are flipping burgers online serving the hungry public. I can't speak for everyone but every 'shift' would be 2hr or 1hr wait just to say whatup or see how long the line is, and longest I've camped was 7hrs till opening.

i agree
is it worth to it get into a fight or shot for lining for shoes
nike should just do away with release dates at major stores
but thats not going to happen
line up's are all free publicity
that would crush resellers bots raffles and this rest of this nonsense in one shot
their are young collectors who never knew the feeling of buying a shoe you really wanted and paying retail and walking out of a store with it
not dealing with bots
not camping out
not dealing with scummy resellers like myself (though I glad I have alot of DS shoes to fall back on to move)
just cop and go like how the foams and jordans used to be
i remember reading on niketalk how a footlocker store would just get their stock in of the newest foams in and you call go down and buy them with no problem
now its nothing like that

I feel you g. I dont even get into those super limited stuff like Yeezys and galaxy foams and all that stuff cuz no way i'm out on the street for a week...I just dont have it in me. A day, though, I dont mind it...It's usually the same people, so it's more of a hang out than a camp out...but I dig what you sayin.
also, the friend is getting paid...well, at that...the campers, not so much (or at all, actually). But again, we're splitting hairs
I do think, however, that the campout is the purest, most honest way for sneaker releases...
...of course, there is the elephant in the room...Nike COULD just make more of them...But if they did that, most people probably wouldn't want them...the cycle continues.

Longest I've "camped" was 8 hours. I would never camp long enough to have to sleep outside on a tent on the street. I could if I wanted to, but its not that serious. If I can't go to the FCFS spot at the midnight before release, wait until 8 am when the spot opens, and then cop the shoes, it ain't worth it. Every time I hear about people actin a fool for some shoes I just want to be like **** it, y'all can have this "culture".
Why are jays even hyped up? You can get much better quality shoes for the same or less dollar amount.
America's society makes me sick to my stomach. Everyone is a goddamn sheep and can't think on their own two feet. Not too many people have their own style. They only want a shoe because Kanye or whoever wore them or because they are "limited" and they will feel good about themselves for getting "limited" kicks.. MOST of these kids coppin jays don't even like the shoes and just follow what their peers do, just so they can fit in and feel popular. Ex. Concord 2011. Nothing but pre-teeny boppin *** suburban kids in the line.
Geez I'm sorry for ranting but this **** just makes me sick. All I can do is shake my head

There's a lot of things here...
Your example of "haves and have nots" is completely incorrect...Your example gives two groups of people who value their time different. This is a matter of subjectivity, not objectivity. For your example to be accurate, the "have nots" would simply not have the time...But they do have the time, they just have other committments and obligations that take precedence.
Then you say that camping is ok for certain releases? So now we're even more into subjectivity (opinion)...and how many stores are getting the fear V's Certainly more than 5, but speaking relatively, not many at all...
Third, yes, raffles/lotteries ARE the fairest shot for the most people, IF the raffles are done honestly...I think we've discussed on several occasions that most, if not all of these raffles are rrigged. From Niketowns, to 21 Mercer, to Sole Fly, etc.
These sneaker releases have become a matter of choosing the lesser of evils.
I agree with what most of what 160 was talkin bout...But I'm not against campouts
