Official Air Jordan X & XIII Countdown Post!

People crying about resellers need to just grow up.

Supply / Demand. No one is putting a gun to the reseller's consumers. You don't want to pay,
then don't buy. After all, someone out there is going to appreciate you decision to pass on them.
It really is that simple. "Principles" and "morals" about shoes???

. Get out of
here. I hope you go to sleep with a clear conscience.

If you really want them that bad, then you will get up early in the morning and make sure you get
yours. The resellers don't buy ALL the shoes, especially when they are worth $300+. The fact of
the matter is that it is not going to change anytime soon so get used to it.

Resellers are just tryna make money like anybody else. All u can do is respect their hustle. And for the people that live in areas where they get robbed fortheir jays on release dates, u either buy from the internet or stay strapped. The choice is yours

However, in life we are all in the business of sales. Either you have something to sale, or there is something you want to buy. In this situation, there is constant back and forth discussion/arguing regarding the idea of re-selling. Cameron has purchased items for the purpose of re-selling. Now the potential buyer/patron has the choice to pay the price the seller (Cameron) has set. Regardless of individual morals, values, standards, limits, etc. the potential buyer still has a choice to pay the fee. It is just that simple.

it's true, the potential buyer/patron DOES have a choice to pay or not to pay. i agree. will i be one of those suckers to pay their price? nope. life is more than a pair of jordans. like the saying..."a sucker is born every minute." i guess theres enough suckers to keep these resellers going. peace.


Because you are? I see...

im sorry but this is the internet and i feel the need not to redeem myself for u or anyone else. thank u and move on.

Anybody else have this problem?

[desertdunk 34]

The same thing is wrong on my steel's from 2005, and thats the first thing I actually checked when I got home

 

[The7onius]

ok bucko, you're preaching about this being the internet, but just a few posts ago, someone complimenting a female online was them acting like they hadno females around them, what's it gonna be?? serious enough for you to look like a moron, or humorous enough for you to look like a moron

 

[kickinheadz1010]

Not sure what that has to do with anything but thanks.

 

[poofyo101]

What up everyone. I don't post much, but all this crying about resellers has made me sick. It seems like most of the people that have been complaining forthe last couple days are the people that don't have them or "didn't want the pack anyways". Look people, reselling is simple part of thebusiness model that trickles down from the top. I own a business myself, so i will attempt to sum this up in very simple terms so hopefully the peoplecomplaining can understand. Here you go......

Nike pays people in some factory in Asia to make the shoes! They pay the people like $8 a shoe for their work. So Nike says "we realize that there may bea demand for this product and we will charge the consumer(Footlocker, Finishline, etc) more $, who doesn't have a factory to make them like we do."You know what Nike does? You got it, they sell the shoes to Footlocker, Finishline, etc. for more than they paid. You know why? You got it...to MAKE APROFIT!!!

Next, the retail stores take this same package that Nike paid $8 a shoe, and they don't say "Hey Mr. Nike, why are you charging me $155 for this packthat you guys only paid $8 a shoe for." They say "we realize that there is a demand for this and we will charge the consumer, who doesn't have aNike account like we do, $310 for the package" so my store (Footlocker, Finishline, etc) can, you got it...to MAKE A PROFIT!!!

Finally, on release day the consumer (us on niketalk) says, "I realize that finishline charged me $310 for this package, but there is a demand for thispackage and I will charge the next consumer who doesn't have a "connect" or access like i do $400". This is done in a effort to, you gotit...to MAKE A PROFIT!!!

A s you can see, what the complainers call "reselling" is really called "BUSINESS", point blank! So what you should be doing is telling"Mr. Finishline" you hate him for being a "reseller", because by all means, that's what Finishline and all the other retail chainsare...RESELLERS!!!!!! Basiclly the only difference between Finishline and a guy selling on Niketalk is that Finishline has a store in the mall. Nike,Finishline (and all other stores), and Joe Shmo of Niketalk are all resellers.

My advice to those copmlaining to: Step your game up and make some friends at the retailers in your are to ensure you get a pair. Or get cool with someone onniketalk who is in an area that has a lot of kicks.

hahahahaha...this coming from a guy who's selling a countdown pack in his sig. btw, very nice explanation.

 

[two34five]

Just checked eastbay and it says my order was shipped, hopefully I get them by wednesday if not thursday.

 

[arog27]

I just want the XIII....hmmmmmm

 

[The7onius]

no no no, the difference between a major store and some jack $%# on niketalk is that major stores know their limit, the fools on here would try anything,another difference, major stores already jacked up the price, if you aint as worse as them you price should be below or equal.
sell what you want people, this topic is getting boring, no need for justification, you either selling it standard price or jacking the hell out of it, if someidiot wants to by them at ridiculous prices, aw well

 

[mrtito32]

If anyone in Memphis had a hard time getting these, there are several spots that still have them.

 

[kb8virginia]

Any stores in the bay area that still have them?

 

[va757va]

The pack has come and gone. Un-sticky this.

 

[goldenstatewarrior23]

can we get a seperate "cry abot resellers" thread?
