Exactly. It's not a zero sum game. Both parties got exactly what they wanted.

Yeah I don't see it either.
Like he said, Dude A waited hours in line, he got a size 13.
Dude B also waited in the cold hours in line, and swaps.
That's 2 people that put in the work that got their pairs.
Now if you're in line with somebody, they took the last size 13 and it's not his size, you guys had hours in line to socialize about which size you're getting. If he knew you wanted a size 13, tell him to take the 13.5 or 12 instead.
Let's just give up that pair, in case somebody decides to wake up at 10am and wants to walk in and buy his size... because it's only right. pffffft!!!!

Nice pickup and great pic! ItsTayStuntin I'm diggin your pics as well. I think the best pic of these I've seen may be the jimmy jazz pic. Something about the shiny, clean leather in that pic that really makes the blues pop.
Also, these didn't release within 5.5 hours of me, and there were still only 12 pairs up for RSVP at that spot, so I was stuck to online only. But now we FINALLY have a store opening locally, this Friday, that will get all the limited type releases and I couldn't be happier. I have only struck out online for 2 shoes out of the last 12 months releases, but I'm glad to be able to have at least some control over things and to get shoes on RD without shipping!

Bro you are mixing like 5 arguments in one. I copped online and due to the limited quantities (which is the differentiating factor), I thought this to be MY best chance at finding MY size for under 300.00. You are generalizing lots of people in one.

but for most people its not always easy to link up with the person who has your size, and is trying to trade for the size you have. They will end up on the resale market for an absurd price to justify the pair they are going to have to buy in their size off ebay for an absurd amount.

You said, "...and those people are just as bad as the kids doing it for cash."
I disagree.
Trading sneakers = culture.
Selling sneakers = hustle.
To be honest, I don't hate on resellers, I blame the people that throw double or triple the money to buy shoes from them.
When we do that, we're just telling them, "Hey bro, put in a little work for some sneakers, and I'll pay your rent next month."
If we limit the $ we spend on resale to $20-$30 over retail, a big chunk of resellers would disappear or move on to something else.

That's crazy. Maybe they became more limited than they thought. I hope that's the case and it's not they canceled to sell for more.

Still not reading all of my post. I specifically said, "(not all directed at poster I quoted (which was you in this case), multiple people quoting me here)" I am fine with what you did. I have waited in lines and struck out before, everyone was lucky that there were 12 different hyped shoes releasing this weekend so that they could grab another with the same hopes. My posts say multiple times, NT MEMBERS, so I am purposely generalizing because I am covering a large sample size here. My original post was generalizing, but you grabbed one part of it and made it specific to your case. Do you fam, no worries. I hope you get that trade because you're right, it will make you and the other person really happy. On the other hand, I wear a size 10, so F you!

i udnerstand that some sizes are harder to move than others, but its too bad there isnt a shop you can walk into, like a FCNY that would do size swaps for like 20-30 bucks

Right, I get the conditional logic.
I just believe that the justification by saying, "I'm not a reseller" doesn't really stand if you look at it objectively. Either way takes a pair from some who really "wanted them". Say the kid, size 13, in front of you bought the last size 11 (which you theoretically wear), and you bought the last size 10. The size 10 standing behind you lost their pair. Now it's true that you got their before him, but objectively, you just took his size that you don't wear.
Now, I'm not saying you can't do this. Everyone's free to buy whatever size they want and do whatever they want with them. You can't be mad you lost your pair because someone else had a one up on you. Whether you buy to trade or sell, that's your right to do whatever you want after you cop. I'm just saying you can't use that phrase, "but I'm not a reseller".
Just enjoy your pair cause you spent your hard earned money/time to cop.

That's an assumption man. If I do not find an 11, I'm gonna let em go for what I paid in total (shipping + retail). I do the same with concert tickets, if I can't make the show they get sold for "face value". I believe NT calls this "hooked up".
