This thread. The bot talk, coupon talk, inside trading, stocks...wth.
i agree with you 100%.. its just the mindset of resellers thats wrong... they main problem, they also buy sneakers for themselves, so that cuts into there potenial profits( cant get high off your own supply).. if they didnt care at all about they're product.. they could make a very decent profit (and some do)... but if someone was moving say 10 pairs a month for an avg of $75 at the end of the year thats $9000.. nothing you can live on by any stretch of the imagination, but that could definitely take car of a few bills, vacation, home improvements etc... if resellers looked at the game like that, then they'd be on top..Agreed but we're talking mainly about the guys that buy shoes on the premise that they are going to be worth so much down the line.
Some even pay resale in the hopes of making a profit, there's a guy that paid resale on 50 pairs of 2k14s. A couple months ago some would have considered that a smart investment, I just look at it as an expensive scratch off lotto ticket that isn't going to pay off.
The Lebron X Corks in my closet were "worth" $1,000 last year, now if I wanted to sell I'd be lucky to get $750-$800.
All these supposed sneaker values are only worth what someone else is willing to pay for them.

I don't understand this logic... why does it always lead to investing in stocks when someone is talking about flipping shoes? This dude probably knows nothing about the market (I sure as hell don't so I don't come in here knocking peoples hustles) but he knows shoes, and even if he only makes 50 bucks it's a quick 50 that required very little work. I do it when I can, I hate Jordans but I know when an OG color is coming out I can make a quick hundred for a few clicks... why the hell not?
1: these ain't stocks
2: if you saved the bread instead of copping these kicks that are "acutally worth some money", you may possibly avoid these hard times you forsee
3: Ebay is refuting your flip logic on these at the moment
4: How are these the welcome homes bruh? Cleveland colors are red and gold?
Nothing personal though, this is just the nature of things now
Flipping shoes is flipping shoes but when people start using words like valuable and invest when all they are talking about is $500 shoes it just sounds silly.
Shoes aren't an investment and they are only as valuable as the sneaker community makes them.
They don't have much value in the real world.
they're not an investment i agree.. but i'll challenge anyway in here to take $300 an place it in a bank acct... and see how long it takes to make $50 in interest...Flipping shoes is flipping shoes but when people start using words like valuable and invest when all they are talking about is $500 shoes it just sounds silly.

are we getting a "new" NDC?? Spill the beans.Are you referring to the "new" NDC where all the bot braggarts on here won't prosper? Or when the Lebron XII drops?
When the WTL drops, the last XI.Are you referring to the "new" NDC where all the bot braggarts on here won't prosper? Or when the Lebron XII drops?It'll all be over in 6 weeks...
When the WTL drops, the last XI.

Copping from NDC right now is damn near impossible
But then you wouldn't feel "cool" by busting out a fresh pair that hardly anyone has.....
hope they make about 400,000 pairs of that WT LBJ XI. I need that shoe...
Never once said that every pair I own needs to be limited/special. I have shoes I love that aren't worth squat (Atmos x Pony Slam Dunks, Way Of Wade 2.0's, etc)
But then you wouldn't feel "cool" by busting out a fresh pair that hardly anyone has.....
Lol sorry man, couldn't resist, just giving you a hard time, no offense meant. All in fun. I collect as well and don't really understand the "cool" factor because only about .01% of the population would even notice a rare kick or PE. I just buy what I like and what makes me happy but you gotta do what makes you happy I suppose.

I personally can't stand when I go out and see someone else with the same pair of shoes as me. That's why I STOP buying Jordans.
I don't think he's saying he only wants a shoe if nobody else has it. ...but, as collectors/enthusiasts/whatever you wanna call guys like us.....we do get a kick outta having shoes that aren't in EVERYONE'S stash. Breaking out a pair of hard to get kicks does feel pretty cool...and there is a form of satisfaction involved there.
Also, you shouldn't be calling Dunks garbage. The Dunk SB is a pretty quality shoe for the most part. Quality varies, greatly, but a lot of them are very well put together...with solid materials.
saw the gator king restock the other day. can't believe they're still available. I didn't personally like that CW...but tons of folks did.Gator King FNL restock x6
Taking my comment wayyy to seriously man. Relax. All in fun like I said. And as I stated in my post, it doesn't matter to me if it's limited or not, If I like the shoe and actually get through, that is all the reward I need, whether it be a gr jordan or the mvp Xs.
...but this is the internet, where everyone has to be snarky af. everyone's gonna over-analyze and twist the hell outta every word said.
lames... lol
^^^^^^ This

This is why i have also lost interest in Jordan's and have been moving more to the Lebron's and KD's...

Everyone's all about that "Wolf Grey 3's" that just dropped and I'm over here thinking like, yeah, and just like how the Carmine's are the new Grape 5's, everyone and their baby mama just wearing those shoes. I just think the Bred 11's are ruined too.
When I go out, I don't see anyone wearing King's Crown. I don't see anyone wearing Gator Kings. I will be proudly wearing the Elite SE's to the Gym.
I will be posting up some great pictures of the Elite SE once it comes in.
I live in a small town, so I never have a problem with seeing tons of other guys wearing the same kicks as me....but I think it'd get on my nerves if it happened a lot.
