Cause you selling it for 300+ homie. that's why.
you can't hate....I had that one 11.5 up on eBay for a couple hours and someone just copped it for $365 shipped...
yet again....if people are willing to pay these prices...stop knocking on them...
it is what it is...
this is American and its a free country...if you have $$ to purchase something and someone else misses their chance...the missed chance is valued at the extra amount the reseller charges...the age old question...HOW MUCH IS YOUR TIME WORTH...
when the CDP came out last year...I bought Two packs at $495 shipped...why...because I earn enough to make sure I don't have to spend hours in the cold to get them...
why does someone drive a BMW when a Toyota is just as reliable...because some want leather riding up their crack and can afford to have so...
do you guys knock doctors who have to charge $90,000 for a liver transplant and they rock a rolex...
this thread has actually gone from hypebeast reselling arguments to a class system argument..god's and clauds...
for you youngn's ...the stock market is a slot machine dressed in a suit and everyday there are millions made by firms...every dollar made means somewhere someone lost a dollar...theres only so many dollars...
My suggestion and MODS please step in...how about the hypebeast reseellers stop posting for a day...
just my two cents...
it's a muta*** shoe...grail or not...it's plastic/leather/rubber..... can't imagine what the zuh zuh forum looks like Christmas eve...

As usual...

Don't knock the hustle. If you could make a load of money off reselling these to kids then you would do the same thing as dude. Reselling isn't a crime, most NTers should know that. If it weren't for reselling, some of y'all wouldn't never even lay eyes on your grails.

- I get to Champs in Newport Mall, Jersey City, at 10:30 last night. The line was packed.
- They hand out index cards, but I can't obtain a size 10.
- I go to Footaction at 11:45 last night, who received 180 pairs (about 10 of each size) and they open at 5:30 AM. They have a line of 15 people already, so I waited.
- An hour later (1 AM), more people arrived, making the line enlarge to 25. The security makes us stop standing in front of the store.
- Before we leave, we all create a list of who was in which place. We take pics of it for proof.
- I sit downstairs until 3 AM, and cops come and check our information for some reason. They then tell us to leave and return at 7 AM (The store opens at 5:30 AM)
- I go with my instincts and arrive at 4:45 AM. At 5:30, they say we can go to the stores. Everyone pulls a Usain Bolt to the Footaction, but the people on the list just speed walked there.
- People who just arrived 5 minutes beforehand thought that they were the first ones in line. People were even laughing at the thought of creating the list. Funny enough, the Footaction decided to go with the list and we ended up in the front, while the others who laughed at the list were in the back of the line. People were heated.
- I scoop up my size 10 with easily and leave to get some McDonalds (Steak, egg and cheese bagel FTW).
In the end, there were about 70 names on the list, so the 70 people were in the front of the line (I was somewhere between 18-20). I had to go back to the mall to get gift cards, so I went to Footaction to ask how long it took for them to sell all 180 pairs. Well, they started at about 6 AM, and they were all gone by around 8 AM. Also, my Space Jam XI's also have those white balls, and a small glue stain on the tounge, but the carbon fiber and everything else was perfect. I'd say that this was a good purchase for me.
TaggPopperNJ: I'm glad you got your pairI didn't know any pairs were still left around here.
These came in today also. Thanks xilegacy.
dope! i blew down lke 3 L's on the line at HOHNY my damn self for 4 hrs in the cold i didn't expect them to have them like that at theJersey Gardens Mall...that FA is highly slept on i remember walking by there and seeing the blue Foamposite Pro B in on the wall ran in and copped! no one inNYC had them for another few weeks..ahh the good 'ol days when it was easierOriginally Posted by TaggPopperNJ
This release is on my list of "Easy cops/ hyped up release". I happened to get like 3 hours of sleep last nite so making this trip to Jersey Gardens mall wasn't on my today list but I ran out by myself to finish some shopping. I smoke half a L, so the time will pass while I wait on these long lines since its xmas eve. I must have spent 2 hours in the mall before I decided to leave. I bumped into someone I know at one store and we started talking about the Jam's. He was telling me how he got his kid a pair which reminded me that I was meaning to do that. So I had to walk all the way to the other side of the mall, something I wasn't in the mood to do.
Boom!, I see footaction and something told me to walk in there. I had no reason to because kids foot locker was a couple of stores after. but something told me to walk in there, I think I was looking for some goretex boots or something. Anyway, I do a 360 of the store before I ended up in the kids section and found the Jams in kids size. As im walking up to the counter, I see the guy at the register put a pair of space jams on the counter. Im still in a daze from not really sleeping and the kush had me a lil hazy, so it took a second for me to realize that the space jam he put on the counter was a adult size. As I noticed that, I looked behind him and seen a small stack of space jams sitting on the counter. In the middle of that stack was my size 10. My eyes light up...lol. The employee was on the phone, I kind of made him stop what he was doing and got his attention long enough to let him know I want those size 10's..... Also my kid's size too..lol.
While I was waiting for my kids size, I over heard the manager talking on the phone to someone about the space jams saying that they found a box or something but didn't know that they had shoes in there. Was about 5 pairs there, 1 size each. I took the size 10 for myself and 11 to flip. noticed a size 8.5 and called my boy up. He didn't pick up but he's lucky because he whind up calling me back and I told him what happened and told him to call up because the manager was on the phone with someone and dude put a size 12 on the side for him. Needless to say he lucked up and got that size 8.5. told him Merry xmas and that hook up was his xmas present..hahhaha. If this happened to me that means theres still some pairs floating around. good luck to those still trying to find these.
