Just Don x Air Jordan 2

Undefeated LA said they notified all the winners already.. smh... called earlier and one guy told me tmmrw morning?! :smh:
 
Yup, but they only do that on the really hot releases that will skyrocket in value, like db8s, federers etc.

Not necessarily. They've sold some shoes for me which netted a higher return than what I would've received from eBay. Just a matter of picking and choosing what to send to them. They do low ball like hell sometimes and I just sell those myself

FCNY is worse than LA. LA will work with you most of the time, but NY is flooded with people supplying kicks and undercutting. Sometimes FC truthfully won't know how to gauge a shoe. When I asked LA about Moon Landings day after release, they said they turned down a few pair cause they didn't think they'd move at $500. It's a matter of space a lot of times cause those shops aren't huge.

FCNY ****** my boy took 2 weeks to send him an early pair of legend blue 4s that cost 375$ crazy he got his pair from ndc before he got the one from FC

I've never had an issue with FCLA.

If they're telling you $500 and listing them at $900 then that's foul but I've sold numerous yeezys at 5k and gotten back 4k every time.

$900 seems like the going rate at consignments though.
 
yeah their early pairs were 375$ I told him not to pay that dude is sick though we are talking about the same cat who bought the 650 cap from just done

I sell through Flightclub regularly and what you're saying doesn't  make any sense.  The seller gets 80% of whatever Flightclub sells their shoe at.  So if they took it in at $500, they're not going to post it up on their site for $900 and give back the seller 80% of $500.  That's why you get a confirmation email as soon as you drop something off, which shoes how much you're putting your shoe in at, and what your  return is going to be. With the amount of inventory Flightclub has, they want to move pairs as fast as possible.  With a new release, they usually start the price low to guarantee a quick sale.  Depending on how quickly a shoe is selling for, they'll start increasing the price to keep testing the martket.  
 
Thats what they want you to believe. When a shoe is hot like that I'm almost sure they lowball and horde all the pairs, pay the "80%" and sell it themselves for more. Makes perfect sense to me.
 
Low ball offer to you, you send shoes in, they notify your shoe has "sold" in actuality they are buying the shoe at a low price then they put the shoe up for sale at higher price weeks/months later.

They're making money from their "commission" AND all the money from the higher price listing.

Well if you're dumb enough to sell at the low ball price they quote you and they turn around and flip it for more then kudos to them.

I can only speak for myself, but I always get what the going price is. 

If they're overstocked, they'll send a follow up with -$50 asking to move it fast.

FC is still the only consignment shop I know of that doesn't take an equity loan out on their business to cash out buyers.
 
Euro pairs are gone.  Most are doing in store first then theres End and Hanon, we all know how thats going to go.

it's a genuis business model when you think about it. It's starting to become more and more prevalent on a smaller scale with some of the well know resellers as well.
