I think you guys are misunderstanding what people are saying. When a guy says "Give it until summer and these things will be going for $250" it seems as though he is saying that the AVERAGE market value will be around $250.00, which just isn't going to be the case and i'm sure most of us would agree that. Now on the other hand, are some guys going to catch a few pairs that slip through the cracks and under the radar? Absolutely, but those pairs DO NOT make up the market price or value. So as much as you want to HATE on the people holding multiples of the kicks and "
" at dudes that "think they're sitting on a goldmine", you really can't unless you have hit the VEIN and can get them at retail because when it comes down to it, those dudes are the ones that will be clubbing you over the head for $450ea. a couple years down the line.
Ok, i've spoken my piece
How can you be so sure? I'm pretty sure by the time june roles up, everyone would have already gotten their pairs If anyone is buying concords in the summer it would be those who want a 2nd or a 3rd and i doubt anyone would pay upwards of $300 for a 2nd or 3rd pair when their 1st pair is still on ice. Only way dudes are buying multiples in the summer if they're getting a good deal. I dont doubt that prices will go up in about or year or so--when dudes have already worn out their pairs and are looking for a new pair all together.
So if by june you still havn't gotten your 1st pair, you didn't want them that bad to begin with.
EDIT: Just ask yourself, if you were sitting on 2 DS pairs and you were looking for a 3rd, would it even be worth it to you to buy a 3rd for 350+?
This makes no sense bro! If that were the case, why do people still pay $500-$600-$700 for originals here and there and $400-$500 for 00's? Shouldn't they be going for $260-$270 according to your logic, because "
everyone that wanted them has already gotten them"???
Believe this right here, there is somebody that has NO IDEA what the Concords are today that will be buying a pair 6 months from now, it's just how it goes man, there is always going to be a demand for this shoe and that is why Nike once considered turning this shoe into a perennial release, meaning that they would continually stock it and it would be available during all seasons.
Your interpretation of my post is not even close to being on par with the way it was supposed to be conceived. I guess you missed the part where i quote "I dont doubt that prices will go up in about or year or so--when dudes have already worn out their pairs and are looking for a new pair all together. "
Let me dissect your post a bit.
1)"
why do people still pay $500-$600-$700 for originals here and there" - Because not many people have a ds og pair, plain and simple. That example is soo weak. You're really comparing a shoe that came out over 15 years ago to 2011's?
2) "
and $400-$500 for 00's" - These came out over 10 YEARS AGO! Again, not many people have a ds pair. Another weak example.
I can't re-iterate this enough (which you will fail to comprehend, again), "i don't doubt that in a couple years prices will hit upwards of 400+". But if you think by the summer there's going to be this random spike and you'll be seeing profits similarly to the week after release, you are sadly misinformed.
3) "
there is somebody that has NO IDEA what the Concords are today that will be buying a pair 6 months from now" - A noobie sneakerhead wouldn't even know how buy a shoe on release date let alone drop over $300 for a pair of jays that they never even heard of. So knock it off.
Listen, I agree with you that demand will always be high, but the demand in the summer won't be any higher than it is right now. I can't think of one reason why demand would be higher come june. Like i said, the only people who will be buying in the summer are those who will be getting their 2nd or 3rd pair if they haven't done so already.
EDIT: I have two DS pairs, and am now looking for a third. I to am also looking to re-sell one, but not anytime soon. I don't plan on selling mine till 2016. If you re-sellers were smart businessmen, you would do the same.
