Official Air Jordan 11 Retro "Bred" - The aftermath.... No Buying/Selling/Trading - Page 815

Reallllllyyyyy hope my NDC order arrives in CA this week. Got the Thunders coming tomorrow and now just need my 11's and I'm straight for 2012.  Will start fresh in 2013 with them Chi 1's and Black/Red 13s

I've never resold for profit, not that I'm against it. I'm just too lazy. I've only resold for retail or traded for something I wanted. I'm just too lazy and dumb to put something on ebay, for example. I still dont know how to put pics on this site!

its inevitable though. I have too many kicks to not eventually sell one day. There are shoes I copped for retail that will fetch double or more. Guess I'm a reseller?

I consider resellers those who cop with the intent to sell. Nothing wrong with that. I'll buy 2-3 pairs of my favorites just because. I hate copping just one and regretting not copping multiples down the road. i cop mutlitples of bordeauxs, TB III, WC III, BCIII, Black/Red XI's, shoes that meant something to me as a kid. I'm not copping multiples of shoes such as Playoff XII's or Obsidians.

I;m not a fan of people copping 10+ and bragging about it. I'll never understand that when there are people who are struggling for just 1 pair. E-props are important to some.

The best was when budget baller was going at it on 731balla, only to find out he was also selling multiples in his own sig!

So my FNL tracking number says 5 business days, but scheduled delivery is next friday? Even with Tuesday as a holiday that's 9 business days.., Anyone know why?

guess when i bought a MJ jersey a few years ago for $20 buck then 3 years later decided to sell it, i should have sold it for $20...? even though its worth more?

makes sense

like i said, i never bought shoes to resell but it cant be said for other items..

Everyone has a different definition of reseller. Don't really agree with the view that if you've ever sold a pair above retail you are a "reseller". 

 

I personally do not label someone a "reseller" who sells a few kicks from his personal collection. They are most likely going to use that $ to buy other kicks to add to their collection. Ex: someone sells their Laser IV to buy Blk/Red XI's with the $$, its part of the hobby.

 

Now people who cop an entire FSR, 10+ pairs, with no intent for personal use/collection and strictly for profit, that's what I label a "reseller". 

 

Just my .02

Definitely agree on your description of a reseller. But you dont need to buy 10+ pairs for reselling to be a reseller. In my book... If you are out to make money with no intention to use the money to buy another pair you want/like??? You ARE a freakin reseller!!

What shipping company does Milk and Kickz use?

A slow one...

Did you order from both?

Begging harddd

Good question. Maybe they sending it through GROUND which takes forever to get.

FNL takes forever to ship anyway.

I used to think this way...

Then I realized that capitalism infiltrates EVERYTHING...

For example... You mean to tell me that if you were ABLE to get your hands on 70 pairs for RETAIL or UNDER... and had disposable income to purchase them... you would pass on the opportunity?

If I told you the profit Margin I bet anything you would not pass up the opportunity...

The point is not to make people agree with what resellers do... its that fact that people want to judge them/us for doing what they/we do...

Reselling is to Capitalism what Apple Pie is to America...

And nothing gets more Capitalistic than the American society...

The whole reseller talk is comical... Everyone complains but nobody wants to take the necessary steps to change it... If u have a problem with resellers them you need to hustle harder to get what you want or move to some small market socialist country... A large portion of capitalism was built off of the reseller model and without capitalism you wouldn't even be able to buy air Jordan's let alone sit here and cry about the market supply demand of a business model based around selling shoes

Haha funny me and the person above posted similar viewpoints at the same time but ya what he said too ^^^^^^

QFT

I've also suggested an alternate option/solution...

When missing out on a release for retail... boycott resellers... write off the release... and move on...

But these same SALTY dudes will get thirsty and immediately run to the resellers to cop what they missed...

Feeding the same entity they demonize in the first place.... The next release they miss they'll be on here salty and repeat the cycle...

I haven`t ordered from either. I emailed both to see if I can get VAT removed. Kickz says it'll be here within 2-5 business days which isn't bad at all.

legit question:

 

for my box, when i opened it the XI overlay thing was backwards (read IX with the box hinge facing away from me, the "mike made them fly" was upside down). is there a reason for this, seems like it should be the other way around.

^^carefully take it out from the box turn it around 180 degrees and place it back in the box

It was reported that JB had half a million pairs made.... I am sure some of the packaging could have been slightly misplaced. It happens....

This... Couldn't have put it any better!

Technically, even retailers are considered "resellers" by definition. They buy the shoes for roughly $80 from Nike, then resell them to the public for $185.

You should probably return those

Person buy multiple pairs just to collect, gets no heat. 

Haha.

This is LONG over due but I had to give thanks to the member who posted the original post of trying the FNL.com mobile site. I just finally had time to register once again as my old account was lost on NikeTalk. Thank you bro as you helped me secure 1 guaranteed pair for myself since I wasn't really sure if I would get a pair for retail, due to having work on Friday and help put my mind at ease for the rest of my work day. Then on Saturday I lined up at the ES and was able to grab a 2nd pair for myself for $100. 

Quick question. I live in Canada, but is there a way I can get a pair off NDC or FNL? I do have a friend that lives in the states that can ship it north for me. Is it possible to use my billing information with their shipping information?

got my pair. thank god

Yes, the billing information is just the address displayed on the shipping receipt. As long as the shipping address is within the States, you're good.

Congrats to everyone who got their pairs. If you missed out I wouldn't worry too much, UK sites still have stock, and these will undoubtedly be restocked come January. The only question will be of the quantities available and where.
