Dudes... I think I might like my black/navy 13 lows more than my Royal 1's. Have you seen them? They are beautiful! Glad I doubled up on both

simple supply and demand. demand right now is higher for Royals due to the new release hype. supply about the same...so yeah, Royals are "worth" more right now.

If that's the case why is the person asking for him to add money?

The demand for Royals is not high right now. They're everywhere and easy to get for a reasonable price....We'll be singing a different tune come December

Supply is not the same Royals dropped less than 2 weeks ago they can easily be found Banneds starting to dry up

I wasnt following right...been
so breds are selling for a premium over royals these days...makes sense to me...ultimately bred is a more iconic higher demand colorway anyway

hope you realize that something is would be worth more if supply didn't meet demand... Not if it can...

supply and demand always intersect...its the price point where they meet that matters...

The bred Vs Royal argument makes sense for the time being. Breds are becoming more scarce and obviously there are a ton of people still trying to flip their royals.
Whoever said we will be singing a different tune come December was right on the money. I even wonder which will ultimately go for more based off of demand.
It's funny I'm a lot like BabyJs I actually copped 3 pairs of breds thinking it would be too hard to get royals again this time around. Had I missed out I would've easily done a straight up trade breds for royals but I guess the game has changed.

I'm still mad about the botched black toe release. I'm not with the silly resale prices.

Seeing the royals initial resell value resolidifeis my "no preorder" mantra. People paid 350-400 but I see none reselling near that point at all. All for the sake of being early. Screw that

90% of the people who talk like him are also the very same people who need help all the time to secure their pairs, and almost never ever have pairs to oop like theyre preaching about, consistantly. (and NO, im not talking about babyjs. that dudes been helpful as hell in my eyes, and ive seen it NUMEROUS times where hes ooped people).Amen, he only said that because he's trying to say I'm not a good guyget the hell outta here troll
bottom line is....if i know you and we're cool and youve looked out for me before, then sure, i would probably trade straight up. i have friends who i would do that for no problem. but if i dont know you, and youre just a random dude on the internet who wants to trade me some royals for banneds, nah bruh add some money to make it even.
half the dudes who preach that robin hood ish most likely cant even remember the last time they did community work, or donated to a charity or did something nice for a stranger outside of sneakers. sneakers r a luxury. being a good person like yall preaching doesnt just just apply to sneakers.
be a good person all around and not just when it comes to sneakers. otherwise youre just a snake trying to come up in the sneaker game and that simply wont fly cause most of us have the grass mowed and will see ya *** comming from 2 miles away.

Exactly and same dudes who continually posting about sending one pair of shoes to someone for retail and tagging them in the post like he and others were doing.
If you wanna hook people up and be nice... why you posting about it out in the open forum? You need attention or validation? That's the same crap losers on social media do who help or feed the homeless while filming themselves and sticking the camera right in the homeless persons face.
If you wanna oop pairs or help people out ain't no need to be vocal about it on the forum otherwise you got another agenda and it ain't about being nice and helpful!

i would have no problem making an even swap with another NT member if I really wanted the royals but didn't have black/reds.
But with a random stranger? I might try and get a little more out of them. Tough to say i wouldn't.
