I'd feel you if a) this kid truly built the capital for his 'biz' instead of being fortunate to have 'angel funders' who gave birth to him and coincidentally did extremely well for themselves (there are a couple of teens who started a sneaker pawn shop in Harlem last year and they in part built the capital to rent space for their biz by selling kicks of their own and learning through YouTube how to do customs -- which they leveraged to the point startup funds)...
...and b) if this kid actually was adding anything to the culture. It's not like he's using his historical knowledge to help the community get a better picture of production numbers (cause again that's probably s store's whole allocation or damn near it) ....

eh, i don't really care how or who is helping him get those shoes. I hope my son is doing something like this at that age. I was eating doritos for lunch and collecting cards not are worth nothing now.
Beats seeing these adults copping shoes and reselling for $45 profit after eBay fees.
I dont understand this who adding to the culture. Maybe thats some people objectives. His is obviously stacking money. I think I'll side with his objective.
But everything you said sounds peachy. But this is life. Some people get it handed to them. I'll take "getting it handed to me" every day of the week. I work hard AF and its not that great.

I understand what you're saying about him being productive and making money but that price he's charging is plain greedy. Also, by working hard, you establish good work ethic while people who get it handed to them do not (most of the time). Personally if I had that much LEGIT inventory as that I would sell them for retail, I'll be fine with the money I get from that, no need to **** anyone.
P.S. Birthday was today/yesterday
P.S.S. Just got my license the day before my birthday
P.S.S.S. The leather on the Shattered Backboards look beautiful

Happy Birthday @AirSakuragi
Don't wait too long on the Chicago's, they might increase in price soon.

This Benjamin kid is getting hate because of how he's showing it off.
When I was in high school 15 years ago, my dad fronted me a couple Gs that I paid back to buy up stock and resell shoes. He was proud of me for taking initiative to make some money. If this kids parents are doing the same now, be it on a much larger level, good for him and good for them.
Now I'm older, have a job and don't need to resell but if I had a chance to get 80 pairs of SBBs to flip, you better believe I would go for it and I think most of you would as well.

Would db8's for my 2013 "breds" be a fair trade or would I be taking an L?

Personally, the Dorenbechers are really rare and I would keep them but if you really really want Breds they need to add money.
