Based on your last sentence, we agree. The pair I saw that went for 800 was from Lelands (a sports memorabilia auction house). Maybe 5k was a little too high, I generally see them listed on eBay for about 1000, but some users here on NT have said for some pairs its hard to get 700. It all depends on who's buying.Originally Posted by nine point five
I'd have to thoroughly disagree with you about the difference in value in the two markets. For starters, I've never seen a "mass produced" pair sell for $5000, if you are referring again to OG I's, you're lucky to get $1,500 for a deadstock w/ box pair. With the exception of maybe 5-10 shoes, $5000 is out of the question for any pair that would appeal to a sneaker enthusiast. As for MJ signed rookie sneakers, in my experience I've seen them typically sell for $4-7,000 so there must have been an issue with the pair you are referring to. Lastly, in having these sneakers on the open market on both memorabilia forums and shoe forums, and thus taking offers from both communities, there is a HUGE difference between what the two groups are willing to offer.Originally Posted by elcerrito91
i meant wreds, not breds. I find it interesting how sneaker collectors are willing to pay 5000 for some OG 1s (that were mass produced) and then a game worn signed pair goes at a sports auction for only 800. That shows that the two markets are different and that collectors (sneakerheads) are willing to pay more than sports collectors. If this pair (strapped) were to be sold at a sports auction, the price would be lower imo because of the difference between the two markets
Did he only wear these once or what?
thanks for the info nine point five.
I was hoping for Jermaine to call that collection. I'm curious to see what he says about those black and golds. Regardless of his "stuff" Ruben has an amazing collection, sunshining too.
