At the end of the day it's just shoes.... The way I see it if I didn't get the pair that I want I'll just chalk it up as my loss and move on. No need for me to get salty and hate on other people who got theirs.

You made 100 bucks, that's chump change to be honest. Reselling shoes is a waste of time unless you're selling something special (corks for example, SB's, ect) or doing it in large quantities.
J's are 160 + tax, so lets say 180 in all. People sell them for 240ish. After eBay fees, PayPal fees, shipping, time, gas, you end up with 20 bucks...... Wow, 20 bucks. Kids don't see it that way though. The math must be complicated for them

This is why I said re-selling is like selling weed. You make $ but there's a ceiling. Plenty people sell, so it's not necessarily unique. Plenty of dudes sell weed out of the projects and stay there . They ain't getting bread like that.
You might just suck at selling things. They are nothing alike.
You just outgrew it. It happens. It happened to me too. I may see something I like here n there but my heart aint in it like it was. I use to know every pair of kicks droppin, their date and colorways for the year. I'm good, those comin up can have that. I'll use that brain space for something else.

Why do people feel they are more entitled to a shoe than someone else? Like buying a sneaker is some exclusive privilege only reserved for a selected few.
"Trying to get their grubby hands on any release and think they're cool or whatever. Last pair I got were the BRed 11s, and the camping was ridiculous. Barely got my pair. So many kids don't even know what they're talking about when it comes to shoes"
Shaqs > Jordans
And I'm not talking bout his Reeboks

Why does it matter if I'm still a teenager?OP still a teenager doe
Well said and i feel the same!!I'll have random stints where I buy a ton of shoes. Then I get tired of it or turned off, but I ALWAYS come back to it. Regardless of how old I get, I will always have an appreciation for the design, aesthetics, and technology of sneakers.
You wear unwearable shoes bro? Unwearable material is only good if you are a collector. If your somebody who ACTUAL wants to wear your shoes, unwearable sneakers ain't for you. As with the case with MOST PPL, they are buying the kicks to wear, not for collection reasons.You wear em pleighboi.
Jordan copping halted heavily. Since the Blk/Cements 3s dropped I've only copped like 3 pairs.
I missed the Royals,so sad.
I'll never deep in it again,like I use to.
But I'll always be in it.
With that said though........Resell game is real.
Copped 2 pairs of Bred 11s,to resell to cop the Royals.
In the first couple of days,people were hitting me up like crazy.
Sole them for 300,I was in shock.
For some people, I don't think it's about "entitlement", it's more about appreciation. You got dudes that clearly don't care about the sneakers they're buying except for the fact that it resells for a lot due to the hype on these products now, and also because it's considered the "cool" thing to do, and all their favorite rappers are wearing the shoes.
Dudes such as myself do appreciate the aspect of the shoes much more than just a mere resell dollar, but of course in this day and age of resell, internet bot-wars, and hype....that aforementioned aspect is somewhat frowned upon in this time.
