How are the shoes a nightmare? Did you pay retail?? If so you can easily move the shoes for 6 bills, 5 if you feeling generous and still make damn near double retail :x

Only way that make sense is if you paid resell from the jump, if not you just sound greedy fam

pretty much..

i never had a chance at copping these for even a remotely reasonable price.. but complaining over not capitalizing when the opportunity posed itself to sell high is a personal problem.. i hope folks who want them and have expendable cash can cop for reasonable prices (while low)..

Stupid NTers screwed me. I basically had an Asian fellow willing to buy my remaining 7 pairs for about $785 a piece, right? I was working on 4 different deals with NTers (for less than $785) so I declined his offer. 3 of the 4 people flaked on me. I go back and try and take him up on his offer and he's basically not feeling me turning down his original offer so no go. Now I got 6 pairs left that I need to hurry up and DUMP so I can cop Carolina 1's. I'm salty lol. Stupid shoes are a nightmare.

sounds like a good position to be in to me......you have a little bit of time until those 1s come out fam
 
While I have little love for the serial reseller types I think the finer point of @AirForce1King's seems to have gone unheard....it doesn't seem he was actually looking to go the purely self interested route and thought he show a lil love to NTers who weren't able to get a pair and not one but most of the NTers flaked the **** out. Not a good look for the community.

Since I copped so many, preorder site threw me a bone and let me cop for $720 a pop. I won 4 in a raffle. My personal size 12 was $815. $5,864 spent. I was expecting these to go for $1000+. I was going to undercut every reseller and resell for $950-$1000. I just wanted $200 profit off of my preorder pairs that would cover 1 of my size 12's (I was keeping both 12's for a total of $1535). With 1 covered and the other costing $800, it would basically be like I got 2 pairs for $400 a piece. However, shoe tanked so I had to sell the other size 12. After I get through dumping these, I should end up with my size 12 completely covered or at the least costing me $200 or less. I'm not afraid of selling for less than I paid because my 4 retail pairs will cover the hit. It's just a roller coaster ride, that's all. UNC 1's will put me back on track.

To those complaining about resellers, grow up. This is a different day and age. My local store had 3 pairs of size 12's that I didn't win. I tried to buy them from the winners but all 3 wanted theirs. They wouldn't even entertain a $900 offer. I AM THANKFUL FOR A RESELL SHOP THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET MY SIZE 12. Ok so there was a huge markup. And? Nobody forced me to buy the shoe. Those who constantly complain about resellers are those who can't afford resell prices. Nicer things in life cost more. A Ferrari will get you to the same destination as a Mustang. The difference? About $250K. Chipotle will fill you up just as much as CheeseCake Factory. The difference? About $30 a meal. OVO's are a rarer shoe. Are they worth $800? Of course not. However, there's a markup for nicer things. I'm willing to pay that markup because I've been blessed to do so. If you constantly have a problem with resell, go collect Yu-Gi-Oh cards or something...
 
There's a good chance they might due to them being the first released Drake sneaker. Market is so crazy nowadays you almost never know
