But what do companies where the technology in their products is far superior to what it was 10-15 years ago have to do with a company where the quality has actually declined, there have been no technological advancements, & the price has substantially increased have to do with each other?? Last time I checked dudes weren't buying 2013 Toyota Camrys & Macbook Pros to resell on ebay, lol. Will people loving Jordans go away. NO. But will this camping-out-for-every-mediocre-release buying multiple sizes in hopes of turning a 50 dollar profit per shoe & either returning or selling them for retail when they don't move at that price fad eventually pass. YES.Originally Posted by NikeRider
Also, the stores (champs, FA & FL ) are starting a policy whereby the receipts are being stamped final sale. This should cut down on resellersOriginally Posted by ccastro02
Not sure if you're directing this comment to me, but i'm going to respond anyways. You're 100% right and i agree with about companies taking shortcuts in a effort to try to maximize profits. HOWEVER, we do live in a world where innovation and success is driven my competition while company A is cutting down on quality and continues to bulk up the price, company B is pushing itself to come out with superior items, at a cheaper if not at the same price.Originally Posted by UPandCOMING32
Did I say they were exactly the same? Its called using examples to show comparisons.....plain and simple,we live in a capitalist country where the main goal for companies isto maximize profits....whas the easiest way to do that? Take short cuts and decrease quality. While increasing price at the same time...look at 95% of companies mission statement,there will be the words maximize and/or profit/wealth in there.
Please give me a present day example with a company that increases quality and descreases price
Ill wait
who buy on hype and retun when they cannot make a minimum profit level. I applaud the stores for doing this.
yupp. military 4s i went and got like around 5pm on rd. #+@%, around here(metro detroit) #+@% didnt really start selling out till like the cdp 11/12, even then there was like only 15 people camping. i remember i got my cdp 10/13 and 9/14 (size 10) like 3 weeks after they dropped. got the cdp 8/15 on discount for $200(obviously cause the 15s suck). even got the bred and wred 6s on rd around noonish.
It makes perfect sense. People seem to like these, and they didnt like the last shots. This is a diff cw and ppl always like CG on jordans. I think theyre dope
