How so ... Just stating that waiting in freezing temuratures for hours is not worth $220 (to me).

It is an opinion, not a actual fact. But thank you for your valuable input.

youre assuming that all those resellers stood out there for hours. dudes could have had access codes and were at home on the couch eating off the app. you dont really know how they copped. you are also assuming they only copped the foams after standing in line.

Even for the ones who did wait outside, if they waited out there for say 5 hours, bought the shoes for $275 and are selling them for between $650-$800 (let's meet in the middle) so $725, they still made $450 off 5 hours of doing basically nothing but putting up with cold weather. Bring a couple friends and bundle up and it really can't be that bad at all. $450 in 5 hours? That's more than some people's entire checks and for most a nice chunk of cash to come up on.

Yes captain I can safely assume that because the pairs that sold for $650 were the day after release, and pairs would not have shipped that quick.

bigj505 bigj505 You are correct, in regard to demand setting the price, but who is calculating the demand? You mean to tell me that each individual wein with a pre-calculated figure, and quested $650 (?). NO. FC told them, you can not place your shoe any higher than this going rate.

I have had this done to me at FC before, but didn't mind since I just wanted to get rid of them. Sometimes the personnel at the front desk does not accuately forecast market prices accordingly.

Once again .... thank you for your input genteman

No .. let's not meet in the middle. My statement was made to reflect on the sales of $650 alone. I said that at $800 it is more reasonable, so there goes that ... Once again, this is opinion based. I happen to make more than $200 / day after taxes, and I love my job, and I am warm. I would rather be in my office than be outside (once again .... this is my personal perspective).

Thank you for your input.

ehh, all that stuff makes you lose grip and breaks down the sole faster, i'm fine with how they become. Like my spacejams, i like yellowing, these days you don't know what's legit and what's fake.

they have some sole protection thats not slippery now.. its on my For the love of sole thread..

The sole actually is intact and for my XVI's (which has a think sole.. the sole protection acts like a layer on the sole which means the traction wears down the sole protection.. not the physical sole.. :smile:

factor in the time it takes the sell.. now this shoe because they were "G.H." its not an issue but for a GR that drops the profit/time/hour ratio a bit

i know im not big J but i look at whats going on my timeline.. the sellers will come with a number and if people buy it.. they will see about raising it higher.. and they watch sole price auctions.. once the first fool pays the astronomical price.. they all change.. DB8's they were going for 350.. after one fool paid 600.. they changed theirs.. just like that.. FC didnt judge them but they use the logic.. if he sold it for out of this world prices i want in.. the consumer if they want it that bad they will pay for a pair os shoes the same price of a macbook air.

Flight Club underestimated the value of these badly. I got my pair for $650. I was lucky. They flew out of there at $650 on Monday and they flew out of there at $800 today. It will be interesting to see if there is a flood on eBay when people get their shipped pairs, but this seems to be a very limited release. I'd be a little pissed if I sold at FC because they could have sold there for $900-1K or on you own for 800-900. I'm guessing these are just going to trend up in price over time. I like them but I may put them on ice for a
little to see what happens.

if these were gr.. they wouldnt be that big of a deal.. i look at things like this.. if the yeezy foams were this limited.. they would be close to G.H. prices.. i remember dudes were flipping theres first weekend 450 500 and 400 immediately.. it went down after each restock.. (thank goodness they were general because I'm wearing mines now)

That's always the case tho. It's simple economics.

Paranormans sell like they are the best foam of all time for a reason. Galaxies too.
 
Has anyone bought sneakers using google wallet someones selling the foams at an unbelievable price and im tempted to see what happens if i at least know I'll get my money back if it fails

depends on whos going to make that crazy high purchase.. if the people dont buy.. they will sit and the guys who have FSR's will look like newyorkcompany with his FSR Set of yeezy's..

I think for the golds.. if i get them.. i may get 2 and just get some chrome gold spray and have them done that way.. less money and no hype and at least ill have the one cent logo on the back..lol
 
Alright Fam I got my Foam's today  and i like them a lot.  This is my first foam  shoe.  I want to get the Weatherman next
