Depends on what you mean being a chump is. I think trying to downplay a shoe so you can get your hands on it is a chump (like what you are doing right now). Just because someone places a higher value on it than you do, doesn't make him a chump. You lose credibility real fast when you start spewing nonsense...It's just the same story every release, sans a few VERY limited releases which this one has quickly turned out not to be. Dudes panic and overpay up front, more pairs drop, the resale value plummets, and then everyone forgets about day 0 - 20 and how many people raped themselves because they had no patience. I'm just not one of the guys who will pay out the butt if I miss or want a second pair unless I know it's a truly limited, hard to come by shoe. People got reamed on XIs, reamed on IVs, you can keep going down the line. Dudes were saying $300-$350 was fair for Thunders. Revisit last year's release threads and you'll find the same pattern.
I advocate not being a chump.
