Defining Moments, It's been 6 years

What's a good price for a DS pair size 12 for both the seller and a buyer? I want to offer on a pack but don't want to low ball or over pay? Any suggestion would help. I know we have a PC thread but since everyone is on here might as well ask... Thanks!
 
I don't know man for some reason these are just okay I guess because I go with what I like and don't follow the hype I just can't see really paying anymore than retail for these but then it was a pass and now it's a pass I guess I respect the dudes that wanted to make money off of them.

One day
 
I wasn't into collecting when this DMP first dropped and to this day I still can't find a set for a decent price. At this point I pretty much have to give up on ever getting this package, especially considering the state of the sneaker game in this day and age.
 
i bought my pair of xi on release day from a friend that copped and only wanted the 6's.....for 200...than hit up craigslist and found some vi someone didnt want for 160 a month later well worth the 360 i paid

I had these and wore em both quite a bit. I actually just sold my 6s to my boy for $150 and my 11s to my other boy for $225. I don't care though I got them for retail on release day.

No idea what pack you're talking about, but these should never be retro'd. Both of these are shoes that should never be touched  
 
Easily the best pack JB ever made. I have my size 12 in the vault and they both still look fantastic.

Getting my pack was a hassle - release day was a no-go for me because I was coaching high school wrestling and we had a tournament that morning. Of course, trying to get through on Eastbay was a joke (some things never change). As luck would have it, my mom (she fully endorses my Jordan addiction) was waiting for the early morning call and went to the urban account near her house (and two hours from mine). She got there when the mall walkers were let in the mall (very orderly mall) and everything was locked up tight. She took her post outside the shop and waited. A couple other potential customers drifted in (people used to be lazy about getting on line early there - not any more) and she chatted them up as she often does. A worker came to the front after about an hour and told them the employees had bought everything but a 10.

Mom didn't miss a beat (she takes first in line seriously) and said, "I want it."

As the girl let mom, and only mom, in the gate mom immediately called my cell and said, "They have one pack - size 10 and it's in my hands. Do you want it?" I rolled the dice and she picked it up.

The next day, she came for a visit and dropped them off. I thought about selling, but having never sold shoes before (they come into my possession, they don't leave) I decided to go for the good ol' Hail Mary. I started e-mailing secondary market sites (PYS, UTA, etc...) which had size 12s in stock to see if they would be interested in a trade. I sent about a dozen e-mails. Some told me outrageous stuff like 'add $400 and we'll talk' and others just flat out said no. One site, and I'll not put it on blast as it was a great favor, agreed to switch me if I paid shipping both ways and shipped first so they could confirm mine were legit. Of course they were, and a short time later a beautiful size 12 pack arrived at my doorstep.

The rest is history.
