The $220 definitely threw me off after the Rons were $175. The tax and shipping and shipping tax should have broken me, but I’m a sucker.

a lot of this blame goes on these snkr Twitter/IG accounts that post all these release like they're some hyped up Travis/Virgil shoe, they even post links to StockX to show resale value. It just gets a bunch of amateur resellers jumping on and ruining everything for people that actually love the shoe
I've struck up a conversation with a guy at a coffee shop I frequent who asked me if i was into shoes because he spotted different pairs I was wearing. Come to find out, he's an amateur reseller (and kind of proud of it).
I had your exact same question. "Why go through the trouble of flipping for such little return?" From his perspective, though, he's still making a few bucks here and there. Just a simple and lazy mindset and the competition we have to deal with...
you just saved my time typing this story.
expecting to pay 40-50% to customs
That's atrocious, you want to aim higher for a side hustle lol. Oh well, it is what it is...

Eh, if you can make $20-$30 clicking a single button on SNKRS or trying to cop on a site for 5-10 minutes it's worth it to some people. That's like 2 days worth of eating lunch out for 5-10 minutes of "work".
I had purchased the 990 Version 2 (with the red tag) this morning. It’s been a expensive month
So what? Let him buy what he likes. He doesnt need to know the history of a sneaker to like it.Just to tie a ribbon on my story:
Asked this kid what shoes he's in to. Jordan 1s and dunks (of course lol) and yeezys.
Didn't know anything about the history of the 1s or the differences between sb and non-sb dunks.
Said the fragment dunks were "fire" but had no clue what fragment design is.
And he doesn't mention anything to me when I wear NBs, asics, or anything non-nike, non-yeezy.
At this point, I like asking him questions because the responses just amuse me.
OffSpring are always dropping the ball and releasing New Balance sneakers early by mistake, they did the same with the 5740 Grey Days. But them 990v2 are pricey (£230/$320) half thinking that could be a pricing mistake.

Very soon these bozos are gonna have tax implications they’re gonna have to sort out tooI honestly think a lot of these amateur resellers just want to ride the wave but don’t really love it enough to dedicate as much money to keep and wear pairs, so they sell to break even just to say they were there.
I definitely see these being up your alley.I'm just now seeing what y;all were talking about. Gotta get those v3s.
