If that's the case. I would agree with you. I guess i'm just speaking for people that live in Chicago.

10 posts in...hahaha. We all gotta start somewhere...
People gonna pay what they wanna pay...
Maybe theyre in another country that most retailers don't ship to...or maybe they just panic and think they're gonna miss out on a particular colorway that they want. I don't know...
But if somebody wants to charge $250 for a GR shoe (AND they can get it), more power to em...
But I hope they sit on that pair(s) forever...

I mean its one thing if you bought 1 for yourself and then another to flip ... Its a hustle .. but for those who buy 5+ at all kinds of random sizes and they can barely fit all the pairs in their car when they leave the store.
What i never understand is how/why does the store allow 1 customer to walk out with that many. regardless if they do more than one transaction. its just beyond me

So are the easters releasing at pretty much every Kobe dealer? Like FTL and FootAction?

On the store's behalf...Whether 5 people buy 1 pair each, or 1 person buys 5 pairs, I've still put $700 in my register.
On behalf of the consumer...How are you gonna alienate me because I only wanna buy 1 or maybe even 2? You sold all the pairs to Joe Schmo (sometimes before the doors even open).
Sometimes what's good for the bottom line for the store don't match up with what's good for the average customer...

Some spots don't care, but what about the people that are filling their trunk to help others? I've many times bought multiple pairs from a single store to help out friends (even friends of friends that I don't even know) for retail+shipping. Didn't make a dime on the transaction.
Another reason why resellers have ruined this... Back in the day it would be no problem to walk out with multiple pairs. Now stores pull the one per customer, or you have to do different transactions.
Everywhere you turn now days its another negative, and it's mostly from the kids that just got into this. Reselling has always been there, it's just on a whole new level.

So if you get priced out of the luxury sneaker market do you really NEED them. It's like a Benz vs a Buick. Why is there Jordan fusions for chrissakes.

Agreed I've lived in Wyoming my whole life and not till I got to high school did I move to a town with at the time a FTL and FNL. The FTL closed and currently there are only 2 in the entire state. I've always had to go with online release or bust

FYI: FTL in the Bay Area are fine with returns of my recent Kobe's. I returned my Volt's. The grey was lighter than I thought it was along with the volt too.

Saw the Volts in person but couldn't do it, even with bday coupon in hand. Thought they would look better in person but idk, the volt doesn't jump out at you. A darker midsole would bring it out more. I'll have to make due with my seaweed Lebron Dunkman. The red camo still didn't grow on me in person. I'll have some extra money for future releases and iD.

My footlocker still has most sizes in blue snakes...so stupid me went today thinking theyd still have red camo, nope all out besides an 8...O well gave me a chance to get the AM13 I was eye'n. On another note the footlocker I go to is small not a HOH or have any clothing and they dont usualy get super limited stuff. But they got Easters, manager showed me today. And as stated previously they look like the pairs already in hand and no egg shell design.
