All of us in the sneaker community have some a negative feelings toward resellers, especially those that buy out entire size runs making it nearly impossible to buy desired releases at msrp.

But lets look at the other side of the things concerning resellers. There are times when paying a little extra to own a release that is not available in your city, or store employees that charge a bit more than their discount for items saving you money while making a profit for themselves.

I can say that 90% of my favorite releases, electronics, and clothing has all come from resellers...that I really do appreciate.

NT, Do you have an appreciation for resellers? Why or Why not?

Let's discuss...

Only if my purchase from them is a deal. Other than that, I prefer retail or bust.

I dislike the purchase of lots and them controlling the market resell price.

Give everyone a fair chance.
 
if you've been into shoes for a bit, most likely you've resold something. it is what it is. i've lost out on shoes cause i didn't wanna jump through hoops or pay reseller prices and on the other side, i bought my wife's engagement ring with money i made from reselling shoes. there are sooooo many nice shoes out there nowadays that you can go into an outlet and find something cool. the only reason why resellers would leave such a bad taste in your mouth is if you're chasing hyped up nonsense.
 
i like the resellers who can't afford to resell.

retail tuesday and need gone now posts ft. 
 
I love resellers. Let some chubby forever alone sit in the rain for two nights to cop a product. Then I pay a 80% markup to skip all that and have the product delivered to my door in new condition 3 years after the fact. It's lovely.

Oh your favorite shoe came out 5 years ago. Get your bread up and you can have it in deadstock condition with a click of a button.

But they don't control it, because if their intention is to sell and the buyers collectively tell them to eat a **** when they come with a crazy number, then they'd eventually have to acquiesce to what people will actually drop.

I'm indifferent to resellers as a whole, what annoys me whenever I venture into those parts is that ___s are letting people charge them so much for stuff. The lack of self-control.
 
I like the ones that get stuck with the shoes because nobody wants them so you lowball them and watch them get mad
