WELCOME TO NIKETALK'S ECONOMICS CLASS 101

 

[The Fresh Prince]

I'm just wondering where they pull that $400, $500, and $600 price range from?

The shoe is $160, $175 or so with tax added.

What does the extra $225, $325, and $425 come from?

I just don't want to take a ****sellers **** in my ***(pause).

 

[digiballs]

Ndc just restocked Melos



And guess what they don't hold carts anymore

And if you think prices are dropping pls

can you elaborate on the second point?  What do you mean they don't hold carts?

 

[coldcity]

Alot of you want team jordan availibity with limited release hype

 

[squatchnt]

is it me or these things are drying up on ebay?  Seems like these will be rare in a few weeks.

pairs crying up and online orders haven't even arrived. LOL

 

[c63anazco]

This is one of the reason why we couldnt get a pair.. SMH!

smdh .....going back to the SB thread where they actually help you cop without paying resale

 

[airedweezy]

Mean you no longer have time to think if you want to purchase or not and that you can be cart jacked by someone who clicks buy faster

Aka nikes way of ending add to cart services.

Aka they did nothing to fight bots just add to cart services

thats a step in the right direction? maybe, maybe?

price based off previous Jordan 1's probably. so somebody lists for 400. when people see that one selling they price there or higher

I concur

People are bidding them that high. I've seen multiple 9.5s ending over 500 ...so the market goes from there.

so chicagos are going more than royals now????????

 

[50inchvert]

I take comfort in knowing that out of these presumed 1000 pairs, chances are many people who genuinely wanted this sneaker the first go around but struck out will finally own them.

Yeah resellers will be on the prowl but some Chicago-less 1 pursuer who really wanted these to wear will finally achieve success @ retail.

 

[dhtowng]

I'm not saying they're going to be retail, and the price I said they'll probably go for was between $300 to $350 after everything cools down

The thing is you sound crazy saying that.

 

[unkn0wn]

thats a step in the right direction? maybe, maybe?

As I mentioned before, NDC needs to implement a click-to-buy system like Amazon has and set a limit of one pair to one credit card or address

Yes and no because they can tune the bot to automatically check out for you but you might have to give your cc info for that so we'll see

 

[gil23]

if y'all want a guaranteed pair at retail so badly get a job at footlocker. If that doesn't pay enough for you then you should have no issue paying reseller price

:x at all these resellers that were able to pull 50+ pairs

 

[yojimbruh5]

 
I think if they implement some kind of random drawing with an access code needed it would eliminate their customers buying multiple pairs. Bots can't move forward if an access is require and if you randomly get a shot to buy.

It's going to be an all out sprint to checkout.

Hahha guess my old tricks will work again =P

fu** that i aint giving no one my money info

they didnt get them at retail either

 

[ogmcmxcii]

y'all gotta stop complaining about the resellers price like it hasn't been like this for years. I mean all you can do is hope to get a pair at retail & if not, if you want the shoe bad enough you gotta pay more. I mean it's not like these are 3000 like yeezys, 400 is doable for anybody in the sneaker game

I keep saying this also. they just don't get it.

Some are setting them that price and say they can't go any lower also.

But others would.

When I had friends that worked at FTL, I was a broke college student too poor to buy J's. Now that I earn a decent wage, I dont have friends that work at FTL no more
