This is what I've said many times in this thread, both as a warning to those who think they're going to "make a killing" reselling these shoes, as well as those who think it's unfair NTers want $220 or so for a pair. By the time you factor in shipping and tax, these are running anywhere from $180 (no tax) - $195 a pair if you get them direct from a Nike store. Now factor in what it's going to cost the seller/reseller to ship them to you (at LEAST another $6 or so if you live close, double that if you're far) and the PayPal fees (3% of $220 = another $7 lost), and the actual cost of the transaction is coming out to around $193 - $215 a pair. So at $210 or $220, a seller/reseller really isn't left with jack for his/her troubles. Maybe $5 - $15? I'd certainly hope someone would "tip" at least that much even just for the hassle of obtaining, packing and shipping the shoes.Originally Posted by Baby Jumpman
Yup, just bite the bullet. Besides even if a nter picked u up a pair and sold it at cost you would be spending around that much. With NY sales tax and shipping they come to around $192 factor in $15 for shipping to you and another $8 for fees that's $215 right there. As J said pairs on eBay are ending for around $220 and Rapido even gave links to pairs that ended for even less then that. Your best bet is to call around, if you called all the stores on the list I posted then call all the other NTs, there's not that many. And that list I posted was a couple of days old, each day you dont find your size lessens the chance of a NT or concept store having your size.

i live in ma no tax
I think part of the reason there are still pairs sitting around is the mass public that wanted these have/had no idea they'd be restocking something that was SUPPOSED to be ultra limited. They're not even bothering to look or check.
