F.Y.I. Spizikes were bad investments also...... the only ones worth copping were the first 2 colorways. Be careful which sneakers you decide to invest in.Originally Posted by toneloc83

I can share some of my opinions on this issue from experience. I am currently selling my collection now because of financial hardship, but not having much luck, even on some of my deadstock sneakers. It might be a great idea at the moment to buy what's hot and in now, but later down the road most of the sneakers lose their hype and depreciate in value. I am very surprised it was going to be this hard to sell old sneakers that are BRAND NEW. For example, I cannot sell my deadstock Olympic 6's (200 for the life of me. They were the ones that were multi-colored with the embroidering on the toe box. They were "limited" and retailed at $175. I'm lucky if I get $175 back, but I wouldn't get the tax that I paid for back, which was like $15. Basically I lost money and time. After I experienced this, I realized I have purchased many sneakers that were not flying off my shelves as I would like. But, again, I am dealing with people from craigslistOriginally Posted by apthekid
Dude, pretty much EVERY sneaker is being sold above retail MINUTES after release, nevermind years after. How is that a false prophecy?? Can't you sell almost EVERY OG Jordan for above retail right now, especially if DS?
Kinda confused at your backwards (non) logic
. freakin' hagglers.
i was just asking about this the other day if i should go with the neon orange or regular orange this helped me choose i say the regular orangeOriginally Posted by DatMezkinBoy
Just a comparison pic of the different color orange laces I found. Neon orange on the right, regular orange on left
Spizikes in general have plummeted in price. And those Olympic VIs were hated and considered a slap in the face to the real Olympic VIs when they dropped so im not surprised that they dont sell for 175. Now an example of a good investment would be the Aqua 8s. They were widely available after released and even had multiple restocks. But now, you can find a DS pair for less than 300. The playoff 8s however go for less..you can probably get a DS pair for 225-250Originally Posted by jkim5157

I looked every where on the shoe. I copped them form PuddinPopp on this forum. He seems legit as well. Very cool guy to talk to. I just don't know. The quality on these are awesome. Mine just lacks the TWENTYTWELVE. Where exactly do I look? I examined the whole shoe multiple times.
I kind of felt something along the side of the tongue but I can't see jack! I just checked my white cement and it was clear! I didnt even have to take the laces off to see them. The quality on these is immaculate tho. I just don't want to pay over retail if they are fake. PuddinPopp the guy I bought it from says its a place called Fashion Avenue in NC. Real cool guy btw.Originally Posted by ThunderChunk69
we all know JB's quality, could just be an error
anything is possible, but I doubt they're even making fakes of this shoe already.
and even if they did, the quality of the Nubuck would probably be a dead giveway.
are you sure you know where to look?
I found it insanely hard to see, but I could feel the ridges with my fingers.
Fakes already. Look harder my friend. Its gotta be there.Originally Posted by lockdown36

Send them back, you got scammed.
I sold 3 pairs of Cavs and I checked all 3 of them. All i have the TWENTYTWELVE.
didn't those shoes hit the outlets? I don't know anyone who would pay even retail for those.Originally Posted by toneloc83

youre wrong, there are fakes already..they hit the market a few months ago. even worse, they actually tried mimicking the cement box. but the key difference is that the box isnt a pop top, just a regular fold box.Originally Posted by ThunderChunk69
