But do you see the problem. This is why Nike implemented the new raffle system that makes people pay up front. Yeah, there is money to be made, but you also have to look on the other side. To enter a raffle, that you really had no intention on winning or keeping the pair of shoes, just took a chance from that kid that really want a pair chance at retail. Not downing you, but almost every thread there is someone who cops a shoe and says they don't like it, and it leaves me and others, puzzled.

I admit I was guilty of that with the Legend Blue 11 raffle (was trying to get a pair for my cousin), I put in the wrong size (9 and he wears a 9.5) so I just didn't buy.

See, your case is different IMO. You made a mistake in size, however you had intentions of copping for your cousin to wear. And IMO it's even better you didn't buy, so that the next restock someone who wants them has the opportunity to cop, instead of you trying to resell for a little cash.

It's not like he's buying FSRs and flipping em. Just didn't like them in hand. Everyone had the same chance at these. Let the man profit. What does he look like keeping a pair of shoes he doesn't like that cost him $225 because "morals". It's shoes...

I thought these looked amazing in pictures and when they finally came in, seeing them in my own hands just didnt look nice to me anymore. Happy though because trading these+cash for moonrocks.

True, I appreciate it my friend.

its a different story if they came and he didnt like them in hand...but he says theyre awesome. his reason is that hes "just not a big enough Drake fan"...lolWUT?

Personally, I think of this as a hobby; this is something I'm passionate about and really care for but when I see people trying to make money off of it just because makes me feel some type of way.  Many shoes I wish to own/wear but I can't because of the prices that some place on them.  Then some of them end up sitting (some people don't want to pay that much) until they fall apart.   So if you're in this to make money then stop, we don't need that in this hobby anymore because it's getting ridiculous.  This is my opinion and I'm sure some others may have the same views (not everyone).

Maybe, but general people will move on to the next collaboration.

Nobody cares...we get it u don't like resellers go preach to the idiots/beasts that feel the need to pay resell. Without them the sellers don't exist.

Dude bought em amd don't want em, he can do as he pleases, I would do the same if someone was willing to pay me double or more

 

[mf gooze]

People crying about resellers are jackasses. If I can get my hands on a shoe that some idiot will pay double for you damn right I'm gonna try to get em... it is what it is. Profit is king.

real spill.

 

[captainsneakerhead23]

Got my pair last week.  They are awesome but... I'm gonna flip'em.  Just not a big enough drake fan. 

Wait, why did you but them?

Uh to make $?

Didn't think I was gonna win the raffle anyways. Look they're nice just not my style, just being honest.

Nick you're my guy and all but please get off this anti-resell high horse acting like reselling is a problem .. weren't you all over Twitter trying to buy carts when these OVOs restocked after u struck out on the raffle a few weeks ago? Didn't those same resellers help you obtain your pair? How can you knock someone for winning a raffle and then deciding to resell them ?

Let's not forget, you've used bots and resold limited sneakers before:

Honestly, people definitely need to chill off that anti resell high horse like it is only limited to sneakers. A lot of people use money made from their hobbies to buy other items of interest.

For example, my dad is a drummer when he's not working his full time gig. Dude loves drums and knows his stuff.
He goes into pawn shops and finds valuable instruments sometimes and flips some and keeps some. Nothing is wrong with that and it doesn't make him any less of a drummy.

A Rod is into properties and stuff. Dude literally designed some house then flipped it and made millions in profits. I think he also flipped his property in NY. That's just what he does.

This



Recently I Watched A Show From Those Two Picker Dudes And They Visited An Original Punk Band Member To Pick Through His Personal Collection. When They Got To His Insane Guitar Collection And Started Talking Values, Dude Legit Said He Bought And Resold His Way Up The Ladder Over His Career To Feed His Passion For Collecting The Instrument. It's What ANY Collector Does To Obtain Pieces They See As Missing From Their Invisioned Completed Collections.




Dudes In Here Whining About What Another Man Does With HIS Money Is Truly The Saddest Part About These Threads



For Real, Stop *****ing Like A Child That Didn't Get What They Wanted For Christmas To A Bunch Of People Who A) Are Just As Sappy And Assed Out As You, Or B) Honestly, Don't Give A Damn, And Use That Same Energy To Get Out There And Make Some More Money So You Can Afford To Do What's Necessary To Possess These Pieces Of Leather And Rubber We All Covit So Dearly.



Enough With The Sob Stories, ***** Getting Old Bruh

 

[bigj505]

Yea none of us will bat 1.000
Some of need to accept that and keep it moving. The entitled crap is just stupid.

Y'all really went at dudes throat because he wants to sell ONE pair of shoes

I just don't care for bulk buyers but I understand their hustle. It is what it is to be honest.

 

[The Fresh Prince]

I for one don't like people being taking advantage of that's why I voice my opinion, this is what NT is about right? A website others can voice their opinions about sneakers and sneaker related topics while finding out about upcoming sneakers.  Though I guess NT is for adults who have established jobs, who love to get on people younger than them because they don't have the financial stability and freedom they do to pay that much for shoes and try to justify their purchases by saying it's my money, why are you worried about another man's pocket (excuses) and resellers who hope to have the next come up so they can rinse and repeat.  Pretty sure that's 75-85% of NT right there.  

From What I'm Reading, No One Asked You Tho......

Yet you quote my post and showing that you cared enough to put a .gif (which is subpar at most) just to show your dislike towards a person who has nothing against you.  You're winning at life sir.

Your completely right. I was looking for a cart for the OVOs and lucky I found one. I did buy from a reseller. I guess that's what struck a nerve with me; I really wanted a pair of kicks and lost that others never even wanted and won. Again I not downing him, it's his shoes and he has every right to wear, sell, trade, or trash them.

As far as the Frag situation, I bought those bots (5 total, 2 failed) to secure 1 pair and lucked out with 3 pairs. My initial intent in buying the bots where to cop not resell, but your right I did resell a pair (ooped another one to a friend; I still regret it). 

We good @CaptainSneakerhead23  and I apologize to anyone who thought I was crying over it.

You salty about a reseller but you aren't about paying for a bot?
A bot seller is the king reseller. He can sell the ability to buy a shoe without having to front the money for the product or fit the shipping fee. The transaction is STRAIGHT PROFIT!!!!

so much lost with people man.

I know that my logic didn't make sense and that's why I apologized to everyone. I'm not too proud to admit I was wrong.

It's still a lot of dudes on the site that are this way tho. They don't see the hypocrisy in their arguments.

I figured this is where your distaste was coming from trust me, I know the feeling.

I hate having to over pay for anything that I really want but it comes with the territory, especially when you're a collector.

It's all good, glad you got your pair I know you've been on them for a min
