ADIDAS X YEEZY COLLAB OFFICIAL 2017 THREAD *NO LC's PLEASE*

[sgaldis]

Supreme game is a lot like the shoe game nowadays, though: saturated. People buy basically EVERYTHING up with the hopes of it being hyped, and then end up selling a good bit of it for retail or less a month or two later.

There are a good percentage of the items you can make a small profit on, like less than $50. Those are kinda like Jordans nowadays; the only way you will make any decent money with those is selling in bulk.

Of course you have your guaranteed hype moneymakers like TNF, box logo's, etc, but, much like Yeezy's, those aren't coming out every week.

Since I guess my question from earlier has somehow steered the conversation towards Supreme, does anyone who knows about the brand think the trades I was talking about earlier are about in the same ballpark, value-wise?

It seems pretty fair(give or take) value wise. Based on my rough estimate, CDG Bogo tee= $350 + $150-200= $500-550.

There's supposedly more stock than the Bred V2s which resell for about $550(average) depending on the size. I'm pretty sure the resell on these won't be more than the Bred V2s, due to stock. 

I'm guessing the value on the White V2s will be around 450-550; thats just my guess.

Buying a house cash isn't a smart financial move for a couple reasons. First, you can write off the interest on your mortgage. That comes in handy at tax time. Second, you can still get a 15 yr mortgage sub 4%. Instead of paying cash, take the mortgage at 4% and invest that cash. Any good money man should be able to earn you more than 4% on your money. You make more by investing than you spend in interest and you can then turn around and write off your interest. Win-win.

That's a true statement. However, you can't put a price on the feeling of actually owning it out right.

I thought we are supposed to be talking about yeezys lol

 

[shoeliker69]

sooooo many other factors at play. if you have a butt ton of money and pay $400K on a house, congrats. if you have $417K in the bank and pay $400K cash for a house ... i'd think there better approaches.

if you have 417k in the bank, pay cash for a 250k house....pay cash for a used car and still have approx 145k in the bank.

and most importantly, be stress (less) free

we need more people to teach "debt free" vs "debt management"

 

[joseph8764]

Who's got 400k chilling lol?

 

[_stephen.p_]

Who's got 400k chilling lol?

[joseph8764]

you'd be surprised. life insurance policy ftw

Thats not the same though, who's got 400k of EARNED cash chilling lol no insurance just money that you made

More people then you think

 

[joseph8764]

The average American has less than a stack. So I don't think so. Maybe people on niketalk do considering they are buying sneakers every week

Yeah there's lots of people with money. I'm in real estate and a few years ago 50% of purchases were cash investment deals. Many were sight unseen.

 

[hiphopsays]

didn't they get the v1 350? or was that pacsun? I remember some weird *** store or stores got em

Pacsun did a deal with Ye/Adidas for the v1s

 

[The U]

Does anyone care to give me some feedback on this potential trade? TiA

I am sitting on a lot of Supreme pieces from this season, and I was thinking of trading some of the more desired stuff for a pair of V2's.

I am planning on offering a North Face fleece, or a CDG box logo tee + $150-200 in cash for a pair of the whites.

Does that sound fair to yall?

What color and size for the north face fleece?

yup, a lot of people are holding a lot of bread

 

[hiphopsays]

Looking at the supreme subreddit, those box logos are reselling for 300 (tees) and 500 (hoodies). Way bigger profits than guys just trying to flip shoes. Unless of course, you talking about yeezys

Are those sales numbers ..... cause it looks like box logo tees are going for less per sales on fleabay.

"A lot of people" are still in the minority so I don't really consider that to be a lot of people. Way more people have waaaaaaaaaaaaay less money than 400 bands

Not everyone reports everything man

 

[joseph8764]

You can't even earn 400 bands un reported unless you're selling dope. And even if you have that money un reported you can't even spend it

There's many workarounds. You could spend it on shoes and supreme, that 400k could go quick

All I'm saying is that those folks are in the minority lol

what the what

Depending on the interest rate you're paying on the debt, yes.

Put it this way:

You're buying a $500k house and you are choosing to pay cash or take a mortgage.

15 year mortgage, $500k, 3.75% = $150k total interest paid over 15 years

Invest $500k and make 7% ($35k) per year = $525k 

In this case, over 15 years, you made $525k on your $500k. You paid $150k interest on the loan you took. You came out $375k ahead by taking the mortgage and instead investing the $500k.

If you're talking 15% on credit cards and stuff like that, that's not good debt. Mortgage rates are so low right now though that it's considered good debt bc you can earn more on your money than you're paying interest.
