Central California Sneakers....

the reality was there was never really anything to flip ..jordans make nothing on ebay and if they do ebay takes that chunk ...and if these dudes were selling to some kid for 2 bills.or whatever the case may be. that kid was in line behind him the next j drop ..simple supply and demand .you cant make money off of things that everyone has acess too..your just in my mall being all in the way.

I didn't mean he's selling them to the person behind him in line... I was saying they're talking about how much they're going to be flipping them , while they have a group of peeps with them to snatch up plenty of multiples... You're right that you can't make much on shoes that everyone has access to, like GR pairs... But when it's a QS or a limited pair the demand is WAY higher than the supply, and those peeps can make some good cash, eBay fees or not. Look at the DB5....
 
I feel you ..its been a beautiful game of waiting in a line wether it be for love or profit.but its starting to change and its interesting to see it ..camping for a week cant get you the "rarest heat" ..stuff like the galaxy foams for example...its changed ..like the lebron champion pack. It wasnt a game of camping and re selling. Its about raffles and connections .its forcing real heads who want this real "heat" to step up make name for them selves and get connections ..I love how things change

Yeah it is crazy. I see these dudes with the connects and it ain't a thing for them. Looks like it may come to that soon enough, where if you don't have a connect you're screwed
 
all I can do is try and come up ...but its hard to do when your stuck in Fresno. .need to get out this place when I graduate just for sneakers sake
 
Did anyone have luck copping a pair from HOH today? I got mine.. Luckily I went over to the store when it opened before I had to be at my surgery!

They did the FCFS sign ups at the Fresno HOH when they opened this morning.. They didn't let us in until 1015 because they were counting quantities of each size. They got in men's sizes but not GS so far.
 
Yea

That sounds about rite ...I like this method of copping ..camping will not be missed

Yeah I like this method too... Just having to call over and over and then haul *** down there at a random time did what sucks sometimes.. I still have 2 more chances to cop another pair(s) at champs and sheikh... If there's ever a pair you're trying to cop and need help, lemme know! What size do you wear?
 
Good luck to everyone coppin shoes tomorrow. Anyone trying for the lebron 11's, kings pride? Is Fresno getting them?
 
Its the initial gr release despite the colorway being creative .. my guess is its not gonna be super plentiful because the cost ..but I expect a nice little sit on the shelves ..I love the shoe and respect it but I dont got the cashflow to cop or else I would..

It's just a matter of timing for getting the tickets.  I'm sure that employees tip off friends and family for when tickets will be issued but if you have time to go by HOH or any of the other places it can be rather painless.  A lot of times it just depends on the shoe.  If you miss out, most shoes can be had for $200 from resellers and $220-250 from pre-order websites.  I haven't bought too many shoes in store.  Most of what I get is online on release day or from restocks.  I've been buying a lot of what I've missed out on in the last couple of years.

Also, anybody else as Fresno State?  Decided to go back to school and I don't see too many people wearing any heat.
 
I might need to get the black and red colorway of the lebron 11, ****** fire. I go to state and i dont see too many people with heat either. But i wear running shoes (lunarglides, roshe, racers) to school. so much ****** walkling, bro. 
 
Im probably only gonba get 1 cw of the 11 this year ..most of my focus is on other brands as of late ...its too early to know what that cw will be ..hopefully hoh will get all star stuff this year

I'm sure they do tip off their friends and also the people that pay them off... I went in first thing yesterday morning to sign up for my steel 10's and they already had at least 10 spots filled...

FA isn't getting the 10's... Champs, FTL, & sheikh did though. FTL did their rsvp yesterday, and the other 2 stores were going to call their raffle winners tonight

The outlets have begun getting the toro 4's. Our tulare homies should keep an eye out to see if they get any, hopefully they'll get a shipment. Ill post something here if I see something on twitter.
