Air Jordan VI Carmine confirmed for 2014

 
Dont get me wrong I like money but I got an extra pair of these release day becasue I was unsure of size, after trying them on decided 11.5 were the best fit was going to go the reseller route for the extra pair(never have before) to make a buck but then a guy at work saw the pair I had and went crazy over them, so I sold him my extra pair for straight retail, was tough at first but after I saw his face when I gave him the box it made me realize, I found more joy out of "hooking up" a guy who really wanted these more than if I would have made 50$ off him.    
Repped.

I did the same with a fellow NT member. I am hooking him up with an extra pair from NDC that I will be receiving soon. I'm letting the Carmines go for retail plus shipping. I'll rather help a fellow NT member like the old Yuku days instead of selling shoes for a profit.  Back in the day people would help each other and return the favor, but now people want to resell shoes and make a profit.

Hopefully when I need a favor someone else can help me out and return the favor. This place would be much better if people are willing to help each other out.

I even hooked up my best friend who works for the same hospital because her son wanted the Carmines. I sold her a pair for retail even tho she tried to give me extra money for the shoes. 
 
 
Not for everyone. People actually buy shoes to...keep them you know. 
lol i know this.

but the explosion of reselling is because people realized they can make a killing off of it

90% of the FB groups in my area are kids who think they hit the lotto

Great story bro. I won a raffle and RSVP. I picked up 2 quality pairs and just resold the other on eBay. I would have sold locally for $210 or $220 just to pay for gas and time. And I didn't want to leave at the store because stores have lists and they mark off who picked up their shoe. I definitely don't wont to get labeled as the guy who never picks up.
 
they restocked at shoepalace, finishline and eb alrdy
So finish lines 3sizes were a restock and eastbays couple of sizes was a restock. Shoe palace just released more sizes later on that day. I thought a restock was nike shipping out more pairs to stores in full size runs. Not just shoes that the store already got that didn't sell on release day due to glitch cancelation or some error. I could be wrong but that would make no sense.

hooking people up you know is easy.
hooking people you don't know and are willing to pay you extra is hard to ignore.

I need to find someone as generous as you

. That's dope though. It should be like this.

Actually he offered to pay over retail but I said no, because I know he didnt care about Jordan or looking cool he just liked the shoes and wanted to be able to wear them.  I took it as a chance to drop some credits into the karma bucket, it will come back to me some day.
 
I'll take the friendships and business relationships that I gained by ooping a few pairs over $30 profit per shoe ANY day.
 
I got the carmines but I don't really like them as much as I thought I would, I'm debating whether to trade them for something I really want
 
bigj505 bigj505 you're right retro js sit and people try them on like 50 times before they're sold.

I get what you're saying. I'm just telling you some retros, tho a few, do sit around long enough to be handled and tried on or whatever until they are returned to the vendor or put on drastic sale.
 
Ive got the shipping email but the tracking page says only a label has been created for the past two days. Memorial day is over, lets go.
 
Nike cancelled some of my restock order and before they did the status read "waiting for verification" a day or so later I got the email of doom.
 
Is it me...or does it seem like a lot of NT'ers doubled and trippled up on these?

I hooked someone up who I don't know and never interacted personally on the site. Sold him the shoes for retail plus shipping because he has been a member on the site for years. I'll rather have someone wear the shoes and make them happy than have an extra pair in my closet collecting dust. An extra $30-50 is not worth it for me. 

I refuse to pay over retail for shoes. I have only paid over retail for 3 pairs in my whole collection and those were OG DS Roshes. 

Edit: I do believe in karma because Nike gave me an 80% discount on my Prelude 8 order.

TEAM RETAIL FTW!
