Since I copped so many, preorder site threw me a bone and let me cop for $720 a pop. I won 4 in a raffle. My personal size 12 was $815. $5,864 spent. I was expecting these to go for $1000+. I was going to undercut every reseller and resell for $950-$1000. I just wanted $200 profit off of my preorder pairs that would cover 1 of my size 12's (I was keeping both 12's for a total of $1535). With 1 covered and the other costing $800, it would basically be like I got 2 pairs for $400 a piece. However, shoe tanked so I had to sell the other size 12. After I get through dumping these, I should end up with my size 12 completely covered or at the least costing me $200 or less. I'm not afraid of selling for less than I paid because my 4 retail pairs will cover the hit. It's just a roller coaster ride, that's all. UNC 1's will put me back on track.
To those complaining about resellers, grow up. This is a different day and age. My local store had 3 pairs of size 12's that I didn't win. I tried to buy them from the winners but all 3 wanted theirs. They wouldn't even entertain a $900 offer. I AM THANKFUL FOR A RESELL SHOP THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET MY SIZE 12. Ok so there was a huge markup. And? Nobody forced me to buy the shoe. Those who constantly complain about resellers are those who can't afford resell prices. Nicer things in life cost more. A Ferrari will get you to the same destination as a Mustang. The difference? About $250K. Chipotle will fill you up just as much as CheeseCake Factory. The difference? About $30 a meal. OVO's are a rarer shoe. Are they worth $800? Of course not. However, there's a markup for nicer things. I'm willing to pay that markup because I've been blessed to do so. If you constantly have a problem with resell, go collect Yu-Gi-Oh cards or something...
