Sad part is the reseller is only making like $20, while StockX is eating $60-$80 because they’re skimming from both sides.

Its not a coupon, look at the past few pagesWhats the coupon for goat??
Lemonade 2020s...
Nike might as well throw 12 pairs in a pit and just make us fight for them.
Only select boutiques on one continent getting limited pairs isn’t a GR. What’s hyped is going to constantly change. The biggest thing that’s changed is the onset of StockX and Goat that give individual resellers and, more importantly, retailers more avenues to easily sell. Don’t underestimate how many pairs go straight from retail to StockX without a bot or reseller in the middle.Yeah its not really new. But it feels really out of hand now compared to then. Seemed like it was mostly really hyped limited releases or collabs. Now its GRs in almost every brand getting eaten up. i guess stores being closed is a huge factor as well
It actually might be. Though it’s a congressional and Justice Department issue. We could all write to our local congresspeople but I’m guessing they have bigger anti-trust fish to fry. There has been movement to try to stop ticket scalpers though. Yet Ticketmaster and the NFL are still allowed to have their own resale markets.They’re in bed with the bots. This should all be illegal .
I’ve always said **** fell apart when ticket scalping was legalized because governments could collect a cut from the sales. Then ticketmaster got busted for selling their tickets through their own authorized secondary market. Yet I never heard of anything happening to them. Maybe a fine? But as long as money keeps coming in, no one cares about fans.It actually might be. Though it’s a congressional and Justice Department issue.

We lost sight of well-regulated capitalism long ago.
How is this any different from a raffle?I talked about this before, maybe thinking about fighting bots like we have been isn't the answer. Instead give everyone a bot to level the playing field. Hear me out. Nike/Footlocker/Champs/FA/whoever makes a bot/ATC for their site you can download and they update. Only the code from the bot works on their site for releases, you have to have a verified card, phone, and address during sign up. That way multiple entries can be cancelled and banned.
Week of release you pick what shoe you're going for, pick the size, and the bot does its thing on release date and time. Maybe you get it and maybe you don't, but it feels like you got a fair shot. I would think those who use bots now would hate this, taking their advantage away.
Nothing will be hadThankfully I don’t want those but if the orange and green went like this at that release.
