said my offer of 700 was too low.. Just no way I could spend more on a used pair like you said

yea the fees plus shipping kind of rubbed me the wrong way when you posted but it's his to sell. the conditions looks great tho. my final offer would be 700 plus ship or 700 plus fees tell him to pick one

I remember the prelude fiasco. You had an OOP that you were going to throw my way and then never responded. It's all good, I eventually got the set slowly
Well I can understand in your case, you're a broke college student. I'd be frugal too. And though I agree with not wanting to spend $700 on used shoes, sometimes if you find a rare gem that goes for a lot more but is a great deal for a slightly used pair, I would take it. Pretty much what alp said. If I see a pair of slightly used Banneds for $700, you'd be damn right that I'm buying that right away. And I'm sure there are a few members here who would do that, would you guys pay $700 for some worn once black/gold?

Damn..still remember that? lol

I remember my buddy got the RSVP @21M...forgot if he didnt like it or it was a extra...I just remember my inbox was blown up and I stop checking my messages once I gave it away..but I did oop to a fellow Nt'er just dont remember who...my bad..

Good thing they got rid of that damn rsvp nonsense

Lol yup I still remember. It's cool, I don't hold grudges. It was for p7 and your friend won a size 8 but he didn't want it. I had high hopes because you responded once saying you'll let me know :lol

.

About to pull this trigger for 01 Breds for $600. Lowest I've seen in DS in the past month. Seen at least 3 DS pairs in my size sell for $700+ and I almost pulled the trigger each time. Was gonna save that money for Banneds but $600 for DS 01's got me rethinking

got flaked on for $225 for a pair of b/w. I didnt think it was going to happen. Back to the drawing board

DANG even for 225? how much are they really going for

In my size range of 8-8.5, I see prices around 250-300, though I wouldn't pay for that because b/w don't do much for me.

I'd say you'll have a better chance by picking up an extra pair of Chicagos and trade for b/w. But if the chicagos are limited gr, you can probably get a pair of shadows out of it. Might be a reach tho.

picked up a 10 some time after release for 210 and I thought I overpaid. Seeing as to how the current chicagos are fairly obtainable, theres little reason to me that people would want the ones coming out in may aside from the remastered quality.

Westbrook 1's for about 108 shipped. Use code LKS15M3L

Blake 1 for about same price. Use same code

I still don't know the availability of the may chicagos. But at least if it's widely GR, I still think you can trade b/w for them.

Should I double up on royals ? In case the price will go up...
Also I imagine the face of people who bought frags for 1k and nike will decide to retro them 2 years down the road

Prices of royals are already up, don't think they'll exceed much more than what they're going for now. And I highly doubt Nike will retro Fragments again. At the very most, they mock up a similar sihlouette with no Frag logo. But retroing a collab? I don't see it. Never know though.

nah chicagos will most definitely not be the craziest release this year. We're still in the first quarter, you never know what nike or JB have up their sleeves

Chicagos will go quick but will be nothing like royals or black/reds.

No disrespect but the 2nd part of your statement makes you sound really salty.

In the end it's all a matter of perception of value vs worth.

Generally a lot of people VALUE the Fragments fairly high, either due to limited quantity, quality, and/or unique colorway that will probably not retro.

Then a lot of people do not think Fragments are WORTH a high price due to budget, hype, or missed opportunity.

Since I own Fragments, I would agree I wouldn't pay 700 for them since I got them in a trade, but I also wouldn't spend 700 on OG's since they would be sitting for display and not worn. I would prefer to wear and get actual use out of something if I'm going to spend 700.

If people were actually paying more money for better quality shoes, how come the Laser 30th Anniversary's are below retail on ebay? haha

Anyways always interesting to hear people's opinions on WORTH vs VALUE
