Fair Trade?

VNDS Concords for DS Metallic 5's
Concords have been worn a bit 5-10 times ... creasing on both
do you think it's a fair trade ?

 

[acgrizzy]

Might want to specify which year Concords & same for the Metallic 5's. If they're both the most recent releases, depending on your definition of VNDS, odds are the Concords are still worth more.

2011 Concords and 2011 Metallic's ... here are some photos

The only problem is one crease on one shoe ^

 

[steven1562]

How about this trade ? for VNDS Aqua's ?

 

[ptownpimperoni]

The going rate for aquas is much higher than for those metallic V's in your first trade. I think that's a pretty fair trade, that cracking on the aquas looks a little worse than any of the issues with your concords.

 

[steven1562]

Yeah that's the thing that worry's me the most ... the cracking ... the guy said he only wore it twice

 

[ptownpimperoni]

Personally, I wouldn't do it. Just my personal opinion, I would trade those concords for something DS. Cracking isn't as much of a deal breaker for me if its on a shoe like the BC or WC III's or black/red IVs. Restoring cracked paint if its a basic color like black or white isn't that difficult. It would be pretty tough to color match that aqua color if you wanted to resto them.

Again, just my opinion, but I would have patience and try to get something DS for your concords. Unless you really like the aquas, because buying them would be spendy.

IMO I won't trade my concords to the Aquas.

Like the other person said before me, its hard to deal with cracking and paint chipping once the shoes finally got to that point. I like Aquas but It's not as important than the concords.

As for the metallics, I say if the soles are still icey then I might go for it. Although it was released in 2000, 5's have more durable paint and stronger midsole.

So trade for the DS metallic 5's ?

I think he's asking about the 2011 Metallics, not the 2000's. Big difference IMO. If they were the 2000's I would say trade your concords away. The 2000's have the nike air on the back and would be a valued piece in anyone's collection. The 2011, while still a nice shoe, can be purchased online for $200-$250 depending on size. The 2000's on the other hand are much more rare nowadays. Flight club has them for $450-$550 and although flight club's prices are crazy high, that gives you an idea of the value of the 2000's. 

I don't know if that made any sense, but bottom line IMO... If the Metallic V's are the 2000 retro, make the trade. If the Metallic V's are the 2011's, or even the 2007's, I would say hold on to your concords.

Also, what size are all the shoes involved? This can have an effect on the value...

 

[steven1562]

Yeah it's the 2011 Metallic's so i'm sticking with my Concords

That's a real good idea. Your Concords based on the pics you put up are definitely worth considerably more than a DS pair of 2011 met 5's. As for Aqua 8's, those are by far my fav 8's and I still wouldn't trade for them. Due to the quality of the paint, they get real ugly real quick. I bought my pair when they first came out and the paint started cracking & flaking by the 4th wear.

values aside. is it fair to YOU? would you be happy with the trade? or are you just worried about the money. cause its like asking is it fair to trade 275 dollars for 180 dollars. you decide.

Yeah i think i'm gonna wait till they release in 2013 .... not worth it wearing a used pair that's already cracked

I like the Aqua's more but i wouldn't do the trade unless it was DS ... or there was no cracking ... i think ill just wait it out till they re retro

 

[steven1562]

If i were to trade for the Metallic's ... how much do you think the other person should add cash wise ?

 

[jordan3cement]

aquas for concords both ds would be fair just imo
if you want a fair trade for the metallics i say let dude add around 100 give or take

 

[aphexacid]

Theres no way those aquas were worn 2 times. i have 2 pair of those, and destroyed my first pair. it took at LEAST 20 wears for any paint to flake off.

 

[sir charles]

You should just stay away. Wait for a better deal or just wear your concords

Another trade offer ... DS 2011 Black Cement 3's ...
