wait what? so you rock fakes to releases?

nice call, nice call, you got me. I just thought of it because "banned" seems to be the new "yeezy" for people trying to up the hits that their auction gets on ebay.

And I admittely purchased multiple pairs - with some respect (I waited for others to cop before I got back in line). Times have changed, fellas. It is what it is.

DF!!!

To dudes complaining about the $295 price tag... If you were able to pickup multiple pairs what is a "reasonable" price that you'd sell for??? Just curious.

I think it depends on how much time I spent. If I had to drive for an hour plus, wait in line for however many hours, etc. Then I'd at least want to recoup gas money and something for my troubles, but almost 3 times what you paid is clearly price gouging.  The one real exception I've seen for a price like that is the dude in Canada; if you're having to cross national borders, then yeah, expect to pay a bit more.

Basically described the Vacaville scene today.

I went knowing it was a lost cause but hoped to get lucky. Got there around 6:30 and all cats were talking about were reselling, even saw some dude rocking fake foams

Wasn't even upset that I didnt get a pair but damn times sure have changed.

Wow, that is just plain funny. People are truly trying to sell a "B-grade" for rape prices?!?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! I didn't think that these were all that great when I saw them the very first time and truth be told they would have ended up at outlets anyway (that was the only way I would have copped them to begin with). Good luck to those chasing these, I hope you get your pair and rock them. As for me, TB3 are out at the end of this week, I'm worrying about THAT.

I've seen the price of these shoes at $600 last week and they sat, $500 this week and they sat, $400 then $300+ "Buy It Now" prices yesterday and now people are starting auctions for $1, $100 and $175 today. I'm going to sit back and watch the resellers cut each others throats. They always do this, because they realize that they weren't the only person with this bright idea/vision of "Making It Big" scheme. Next thing you know...the sellers start chopping each others legs off by dropping their prices. Once that happens...none of the sellers have a price/leg to stand on. A sellers panic, pandemonium and reality starts to take over. Then their prices start to reflect an realistic price to match their new found reality.

I truly believe that there were way more resellers than buyers on this release. All the more reason why reality will settle in.

Some don't have to agree, but I've seen it time after time. Just sit back, relax and wait

I was a little salty balls about missing these , but I'm feeling a little better after I pulled these out of the closet , i still gotta admit those red laces really make that shoe POP , gotta find some suitable red laces for these now

and smh at the price , these band joints were discounted at to $109 down from $124 and still $20 more then these were on release day in 01, inflation is a mo Fo

Got mine today at Woodbury Commons in 11.5. They are not too bad but the box is kinda flimsy. Threw them up on ebay. See what happens. HAHA waiting for the hammer to drop after that comment.

 

[sincere]

I see this one dude shill bidding like there's no tomorrow. I wouldn't bid on his stuff on G.P./based on the fact that the auction is already flawed. His name is matthewbarr11 on eBay. It's obvious when the winning bidder has bid with you 100% of the time and has more than 1, 2, 3 and 4 feedbacks. You mean to tell me that he only buys from him? Lol! Shill bidding at it's finest or should I say it's worst!!! Lol!

I guess that he may called this a automated reserve price. Lol!

Like I wrote in the NC post, its all about "cost analysis" at the end of the day for me personally.

Me?  10 hour total drive.  Taking off work (with stuffed piled up upon my return, already during a short work week), gas, food, time, effort once I'm at spot, lack of sleep, not picking up/dropping off kid/responsibilities at home, etc., being irritated returning home/work...

I'd rather pay someone legit like "AirAnt", because using the "cost analysis" it's a lot LESS if I would have gotten them myself when you add all that up in real life terms.

Again, just speaking for me... And the folks here with actual careers.

He's so stupid that he's done this many times before and he always leaves both of his accounts with feedback from each other. His other name is: rbard88. Wait for this one to be re-listed later, because he will end up being his best customer; like a weed man who smokes weed. Lol!

Got my two pair at New Orleans today. Lucky to be in the right city at the right time. Again, it was like alot of spots you guys are describing, everything thinks they're gonna "come up" off this shoe, but obviously have new real understanding of supply/demand. The Black/Red 1's being my favorite pair, I had to get 2, you never know if we'll ever see real leather 1's ever again. My 01's are too beat up for anything now.

But like I said, people don't understand. The $500+ price tag was set because people were under the influence that this was going to be a shoe that everyone was buying to wear and like 30% of them would make the resale market.

However, from what I'm seeing and you guys are saying, seems like 60% plus of these shoes are being put straight for sale.

Listen, if you want these. Wait. Give it a few weeks. Don't pay $500. Watch what happens. If there are that many people willing to drastically over pay, let them.

 

[stillenmax]

Just a heads up to all. I am with the Port Authority Police of NY/NJ and use to be on here as PAPD01 so not a newbie..for any of the youngins to the Jordan game who are still un sure of fakes and variants...the market is now being flooded with the retro XI lows in every color under the sun as well as the true blues..with the IIIs cement knock off box and all so just a heads up for anybody shopping for kicks in the Canal st area of NYC. I admit it to the true blues looked quite good my friends.....BGA (POE POE TERM FOR BETTER GUARD YOUR ***.

cost benefit analysis....the basics of economics. "there is no such thing as a free lunch."
