Wow. At that many pairs how much profit did you net?
Can't say for sure... I was pretty bad with managing money then. It was in & out of my hands pretty fast. But if I had to make a guess Id say I got like 20-25 pairs of FREE shoes (after reselling the rest), and probably a couple thousand dollars at most.
Smashed this chick in the back of my old Volvo in high school.
All I had to do was skip school and take her to McDonalds or breakfast.
******* love McDonalds breakfast....
She swallowed da kids too. All it cost me was $3 and some gas
And I came up on some Bred 1's for $200 a couple years ago before the whole Bred 1 hype started.
Traded some flue game XII's for some black/varsity red VI's before the black/red 6 hype started.
Now both of those shoes fetch too high of a price for me to even consider paying for.
But yeah, ******* love McDonalds breakfast
This is an awesome story. I'm surprised the Sports Authority employees weren't making the same move you did and buying out the entire rack.Stumbled upon a hidden sports authority a few years back that had almost every retro from 2005-2009. Mind you all these shoes were selling out at the local malls... People just didn't know about it really, and the people who did weren't buying retros.
Copped so many Jordan's there on sale it wasn't even funny. The shoes were in their boxes sitting on clearance racks in the back.
I started buying em all up a few pairs at a time & flipping em. Cleaned out the racks, and asked so many questions over a months time about inventory and sizes, that they escorted me into the room where they kept the shoes so I can pick exactly what I wanted off the shelves every time I came in.
Made so much flipping shoes over a few months time, and acquired a lot of pairs for free. The best part about it, was these shoes had been sitting so I never payed more than $99.99 for any pair, when most actually costed me 79.99. Just to name a few....
Metallic, fire red, green bean, stealth blue AJ5
Cardinal, citrus, chambray AJ7
ALL the AJ14s that came out back then, and I mean ALL of them.
ALL AJ3's (no LS pairs, just GR)
All in all, I bought at least 75 - 100 pairs. Flipped all multiples, and kept 1 of everything that was in my size, except for metallic 5 which I kept 2. It was my go-to spot for years, then they all of a sudden stop receiving Retros. It was a nice come up tho.
I'm too young to know that feeling, but I can imagine how everything would be different back then. The internet wasn't as popular I'm sure.Back in 2001 when sneaker hunting was fun.
I must be going to the wrong type of thrift stores01 black cements for $30 at a thrift store 3 or 4 years ago
