prices always will go up due to inflation, the problem with society is that we allow them to use lower quality material/products. This goes for almost everything including bottled water

We are running out of Quality Leather and Water in the world!

We're All Doomed!

Imma let you know something about FC. When it's a hot release the price you get back is the price the folks at the desk would pay and then they'll flip it to the clientele they know for cash. The online system is broken. I bet folks won't even get thru with their order.

I know for a fact spike lee and 3 other major heads have their pairs on lock and they'll pay the 1500 on a pair easy.

If your pair was sold Sunday (for ex sept 1). You won't get the check until the Monday (sept9) after the upcoming Monday.
 
Why BEV Hills the only one with that Clause in the raffle

Cuz They don't want Sneaker heads lined up not spending money in Bev Hills!!!!!

yea the website definitely does not function well for hot releases. The problem that presents in general though is if they sold its all good, but if not you are most likely losing money because the prove generally falls down on sneakers the weeks following a release only to rise later on. Even fragment 1s did this for a little. If I'm selling shoes the day of id like to get that day of money same day. Not two weeks later if they sold or less because I have to flip myself. Something I won't worry about next time cuz I won't bring em more than one or two pair of a hot sneaker minus holiday xis

If demand go up, price go up. Econ 101

But really we did it to ourselves, not nike. I remember when I logged into NT after what seemed like a while and dudes were talking about 800 this and 700 that for some damn 1s. I understand that they're limited and the better raw materials used must have cost nike a whopping 30 bones instead of the usual $20. personally speaking I still felt that $500+ resale was way too much for a $140 shoe so I never entertained that with MY money but to my surprise a lot of YALL in this thread was dropping bread with a smile on y'alls face talking bout "my royals were 800 and then I talked another guy down to 600 and doubled!"

When I saw that dudes were clapping for them types of purchases and lil 13 year olds was charging each other $400 for galaxy kdIVs, I knew the game was fudged up. Lol I'm really not hating at the expendable income needed to buy shoes at such high resale prices, but just sayin a couple years later nike charging us $700 for packs and low top retros are $170 retail.

So what's with the October 3rd date for the OVOs? I'm hearing more stores gonna get them? I could be an error.

It's F'n social media I tell you. Before, people buy shoes to wear, collect, or stunt for themselves. You appreciate great kicks when you see em on someone's feet. Now people just take a pic of the shoes and do it for the likes and the hearts. Sadly, many are willing to pay a ton to show off that they have something that most people couldn't get which definitely drove up resell prices.

Exactly what I been saying. People love the attention and will pay out the rear for followers and likes. It makes them feel relevant and important

Why would Spike Lee pay, when he is apart of Nike/JB since the 80s. And MJ is a closer personally friend of his that doesn't make any sense

That and the fact that they still sell merchandise with his face/name on it. I would be very surprised if Spike Lee has spent a penny on a JB product since the late 80s.

It could be him picking up a pair for someone he knows. For all we know he could have gotten 5 for free/retail but needed a 6th for a friend
 
...I'm going with MJ probably gets hit up for kicks ALL the time so doubt spike would hit him up. also just cause you get boxes from JB doesn't always mean it's ish you want. A friend got a box over the summer from nike, was geeked up only to open it and find Dos Angeles stuff - kicks and apparel.

 Asian guy wants to buy my remaining 7 pairs for $5,500. It's a lil' low but I'm still thinking about it. I actually want to continue to try and help out my NT brethren who missed out by allowing them to trade me a bunch of DS GR releases for them. Don't know what to do. Decisions, decisions...

1. Trying to help out fellow NTers aint hard. If you want to, you will. 

2. Since you copped seven pairs, and seem to be interested in flipping them, why beat around the bush? Just do it, and don't think about it. Get your cash.
