So, I guess I'm not smart because I struck out the night before all through Saturday morning
Yea, clearly we have a significant lack of intelligence since we were unable to purchase the latest pair of Yeezys

so what about other dudes who have just as much heart energy, just maybe they lack some factors.

just that for 1 dude to cop double digits and for others who cant really cop 1 pair even if they wanted to flip or trade or not, i mean it just seems more greed than hustle. its opportunistic and basically out of control. I cant tell you I've seen dudes back in the early 2000s grab these many pairs.

When a dude need like shark money (investment) to cop kicks just to resell? cmon thats out of proportion


but to the people who grind hard spend $$ and time and scoop as many kicks, well its power to you in your perspective

but to the "sneakerheads" who also grind hard etc but can't cop 1 pair, its just a sign of the greedy times that others have the ability to do something normal everyday consumers can't do.


The kids won't understand this.


It's a business now. it used to be a fun thing people did.

Y'all tripping. You just didn't do your homework. How dare you be of the belief that someone who wants to wear these doesn't have to be online 24/7 for a few months leading up to a release and install a program on their computer to basically work around Adidas website's security protocols.

Step your game up.


nah nah man the games been switched up. I aint mad I aint cop, I put in little work for this, and matta of fact Im understanding how y'all are doing it online. Its interesting as far as the online copping is going, and Ill say it does sound sketchy.

You really think backdooring online, scanning sites for their code, installing bots are all LEGAL methods? Its as legal as TOR is :lol: right?

TOR is fine if you want to be anonymous doing good stuff. Bot usage is basically not allowed, but if you use it to cop 1 or 2 pair for yourself its seems alright. Now you allow other people to do work and cop themselves. Like 1 pair per customer.

TOR is bad when you do illegal things. Bot usage becomes bad when you start using code/bots to scoop 10 20 30 more pairs for yourself OR for others who maybe want to resell, or chances are you made a business of buying shoes for others because they cant put in work.

Most of the people who use Bots use them to buy up as much stock as greedily possible, and then theres those that try to buy like 1 or 2 pair because of the competitive demand

Now you tell me what a normal person is gonna do with 25 yeezys vs a normal person with 1 or 2 yeezys. Both used bots. OR Both went manual

If a person realllly keeps 25 pairs of yeezys, thats hoarding and greedy behavior. Its not normal.

Lets say that everybody should cop their own shoes, dont try to hookup other dudes, because apparently everybody should put in their work to cop.

I dont wanna hear nah, im copping for my aunty nephew niece and sister. Why cant they put in work? Nah you gonna switch it up and resell like some people here?





You are installing things on your own device to secretly track, add items to your cart on or before the company does it, and then checkout before a human being is able to start clicking?

Its the company's product and they didn't give computer Bots the right to purchase THEIR product until THEY are ready to sell it to HUMAN BEINGS, NOT BOTS.




What did Nike say about this when the Chicago 1 2015 were supposed to drop on the initial release day?

BOTS to blame, its unfair.

Why did Sen. Chuck Schumer propose some action to take against bot usage when people tried to buy tickets to shows?

Because scalpers would resell them for more money.

Why dont Nike talk Mods want too much Bot talk going on? Cause they know its borderline controversial.



BUT as far as in-store buying, there are hard working ppl who do have other things to do, they got the money to cop, but under their noses you got people corrupting the copping process.

Selling on or before release date like 90-100% of the stores stock. Leaving crumbs to the hundreds of people camping or standing in line maybe for hours and days.

QCM staff all getting fired cause they got their cover blown

Why are they doing this? Cause they know the shoe is very limited and the demand is through the roof. The aftermarket value will also be very high. People start thinking of $$ when they know they can take advantage of this and sell it for more money.


Reality is its basically more greedy than a hustle right now.
 
May be reaching into the dark, but would there enough people here to want to create a private sub group(Facebook or something) that we can discuss BDs, bots, etc so we can eat on release days? This group can share info that lurkers and newbies won't be able to access freely? Is that too elitist to think about? We can make signup obly for those who been on NIktalk few plus years or 1k post or something.
 
I think the real reason the gov. would go after bots is that there is a reseller who ain't paying his fair share of taxes on money made.

make a preorder system.

order as much as you can/want

demand satisfied

enough supply

adidas can profit but they will take a hit in their exclusive image

customers happy

bots die

Done.
 
For any Canadians. I haven't gotten shipping confirmation and my order still says waiting to be packed. But UPS my choice emailed me in the afternoon about a package coming from adidas. Emails must be delayed, so don't worry too much.

But this is where the problem lies for adidas. As much as everyone can say "I'd still want Yeezys even if they weren't popular/exclusive" it's just not true, it's part of the main reason for their success. As soon as the market floods resale prices will plummet and so will overall sales of the shoe. Then boom, that silhouette is dead and played out and it's on to the next one.

Easier said than done

Sure they make more money but if everyone can have a pair, eventually sooner rather than later people will lose interest

If these weren't limited no one would give two *****
