I agree, that's why it was so funny when I walked out of the store, sat down on the bench in the mall, and put them +!#@* on my feet and bounced, while everyone else just sat there like damn 

I used to think it was so corny as a kid when friends/others bought shoes and wore them out the store. Put their beaters in the new box/bag and rolled out.

Haha, normally I don't but when everyone is standing around talking about how much they gonna resell them for, it's funny to see their faces drop when you literally don't care and just bought them to wear anyways.  Plus, they bound to touch pavement sooner or later.  I used to save all my kicks for a couple months until the hype dies down and then just randomly bring them out, but now nobody buys them to wear anyways, especially where I live, so its whatever.

But why waste so much time to make like $150/shoe.

And risk getting scammed if its on Ebay or robbed/jumped on CL.

 

[depast]

That's why you always ship. Even on Craigslist.

you're makin an assumption of how much time and effort he spent to obtain them
and an assumption of how much time and effort he spent to sell them.

just because it may be difficult to you, doesn't mean it's difficult for someone else. 

EDIT:

I don't want to turn this into reseller talk, but I don't think it's smart to have an argument that's basically filled with assumptions

Chatted up with some guy outside NTLA who was waiting on the 2PM deadline for unclaimed RSVPs and he was looking for a size 12, so he probably got them. The guy was cool, but he just wanted to flip the pair.

I mean, I'm not salty because that's not going to stop my search. But why even tweet the 12 then?

the same people that bad mouth resellers are the ones reselling shoes for bogus prices here on NT. If you don't want to pay them prices go and camp out if you don't want to camp out pay them prices. If you really want a certain pair you'll do what you have to do. This pair was not a must have, but my boy came thru for me. If i keep the pair ill throw him some extra money or trade this pair for one in his size.

 

[The7onius]

Crazy the amount of these on Ebay, seems like people with contacts managed to get these just so they can resell them. Bad enough pairs are limited and the prices of shoes are starting to skyrocket, might as well start looking on Ebay for every shoe release.

yo memphis i thought you only buy 10.5....

 

[onlitwo]

9 and 13 were the sizes to go first

Yes sir...Sample sizes.

I think some people buy those sizes in hopes to score a sample.

IN JORDANS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. YES. IN THE LEBRON 9'S? IT'S IMPOSSIBLE IF I ACTUALLY WANT TO WEAR THEM. I SWEAR THEY RUN A FULL SIZE SMALL.

 

[stewpendous1]

Had a pretty easy pickup this morning for my 2 pair of 10.5. My spot only had 18 pair. Hopefully I am this lucky next week, my spot will only have 1 pair of each size.

 

[depast]

LeBrons definitely run a little smaller than most shoes, except the Elites IMO. My 9, my true size, fits perfect. Even a little big actually.

I didn't assume anything.  He just stated he has a lot of money and is selling shoes which brings in little money compared to what he makes.  I never said anything about how he does it so keep laughing away.

Able to get my two pairs shoes extremely nice

That's most of Nike's new signature basketball shoes as a whole it seems.  Kobe's, KD IVs, LeBrons all seem to run a half size small or so.  Those along with Trainer Huaraches and Air Max 95s are like the only shoes I go strictly for a 12.

[sthebest]

had a "buzzer beater" moment getting these. as you guys know, I had a pair on hold for me. I had more than enough money in my Paypal. I transferred the money on wednesday morning but to my surprise it didnt hit my account this morning so I was screwed. My brother and sister felt bad for me and tried to come up with a plan to front me the cash to get them until Monday. I thought it was a lost cause after I didnt hear back from either of them. So I go out to work a photography gig and while there, I check ebay and fail to see a decent price. A hour into my gig (which is going extremely well), my bro tells me he copped the size 10 he was holding for me and I owed him big time. WOOOOO!!!!!!!


So he's dropping them off tomorrow morning and im giving him half the cash and the rest on Monday. I couldnt have asked for better family

[leirlic]

the shop me and my cousin went to got a total of 13 pairs. we were 11th, and 12th in line, and last 2/3 sizes just happened to be our sizes. some kid was waiting since 3 am, his dad shows up about half an hour before store opens (pretending like he's going to pay for his kid) then tries to get a pair himself. good thing my cousin saw, he called it out quick. weird father/son relationship, the kid is about 15 sitting on his dads lap in line i was like +#$?
