well the way i look at it is this, I live in NYC and there are cats EVERYWHERE that buys sneakers to resell that probably don't know **** or give a **** about the sneaker and the community. If this guy and his reseller crew didn't buy up most of the pairs (probably thru hookups or better bot services) then the next NYC reseller cat would've scooped it up. There are PLENTY of nyc resellers asking the same near prices as ebay prices. For example, kix kings and uptownz if you NYC heads are familar with, scooped up a crap load of preludes and reselling each at at least $450 and won't take $449 for an answer. But this dude and his reseller crew local to me picked up a bunch of pairs and sold all of them at $400 or slightly below if you politely negotiate, so basically this crew (not that i'm promoting or giving credit to resellers) picked up pairs and sold them BELOW the market asking value. To add to the fact that he lowered the price down $100+ simply because I was a fellow sneakerhead living in the same town, thats helping out if you ask me regardless if you're a no good reseller.So in order to help a local sneaker head out him and his reseller crew bought up all the pairs around you, preventing you from grabbing it for retail? Conrgats on the good deal but the dude doesn't sound like he was really helping you out. It sounds like he needed some quick cash.
