$55 above NYC retail....
Getting it 10 or so days early...
Its a NDC release so for me I wouldn't do it since I usually score on NDC but if he has trouble online I know waiting FCFS is a mess in NYC so its well worth it to avoid the lines....

If you got it like that then I don't see what the big deal is
And let's be realistic, how many people do y'all know that double up every week on a new release besides resellers? I know a few collectors who double up on certain releases, but not all.
Retros don't drop every week, so y'all saying people be doubling up on Phats, Mids, Alphas, Spiz'ikes, 6 rings, etc too?? Even if we add Kobes, Lebrons, KDs, Foams, and other gimmicks to the equation they still don't release every week, so I think that total number is much lower than 20K. And if you're a reseller, you're probably breaking even if your clientele is top notch.
HAS IT LIKE THAT = NICE SALARY so you just supported what I said initially.
honestly, it seems like 70% of niketalk HAS IT LIKE THAT. was just an observation. more power to those that do.
the numbers i toss out are very, very rough BUT nike has been smacking us with multiple shoes most weekends that can offset the doubles talk.
I mean, unless you only follow 1 shoe, then you will average at least the 21K number i tossed out there.
Nike will gladly do a thursday friday and saturday set of releases that will include Kobes, Lebrons, KDs, Jordan XX8s, Foamposites, Jordan Retros x 2 or 3, Penny Vs, Barkleys, etc and people will hop on at least 2-3 of them.
It's an expensive hobby to some and others are just blowin "play money" ..

There are rules about hobby losses.... Unless you plan on showing a profit in the near future the IRS will catch up to you especially a huge schedule C loss (most of the people I highly doubt would incorporate) is like a huge red flag and basically screaming audit me....

$230 isn't terrible.
No need to wake up early
"Only" a few bucks over retail
Price you pay for piece of mind

Those are perfectly legitimate expenses as long as you really are a personal trainer... But you can't use your sneaker hobby as expenses especially if they are the 20k numbers like we were discussing, as I said and if you did prepare for the IRS to rotor-rooter your return if you show a huge loss or a $20,000 deduction for clothing expense on a schedule C
They will not be nice and they will BANG you with penalties and interest....

I was on the fence about these ONLY because of the price, but since I struck out with JJ on the royal 1s, I still have $75 credit, and a couple people owing me money , so I'll shoot for a pair.
The simplicity of this c/w is amazing imo.
