Yeah, I can definitely see how that's the same thing.
JAYFIEND:
Yes, It is the same thing. If that person call his connect on friday and goes and gets them friday, when the release day is saturday. But if the guy is ahead of me in line and he cops for his friend and himself the theres no problem. Because he woke up like I did and waited like I did, and he got to the store before me. If the store is only getting one per size and you say f' all those fools how are going to stand in line I'll just call my connect up and get mines now, theres nothing wrong with that?

First off, people had hell gettin thru to damn near every online retailer...hell, check back 20-30 pages...people panicking at Swoosh not being up, and Eastbay/FL/etc. sites crashing every 2 minutes. You made it sound like it was just as easy as logging on, and putting them in a cart.Originally Posted by heat23

i can't believe anyone's paying those rape prices for stuff that's available at release date and online from legit JB/Nike dealers with all the discount codes & free shipping.
resellers gotta' be thankful for dumb people throwing away money.

I have a lot of people I deal with, who live in remote areas and their city is lucky to get 1 pair, let alone at all.
If people want to "throw their money away", let them...we have GOT to stop being so concerned about what others do with their money. If you're not giving it to them, don't worry about where and how they obtained their pack, or anything else for that matter.
As for reselling, like dude said...about $80 profit doesn't seem like much, but multiply that by 20 pairs, just for basically doing nothing. At all. Hell, I've got 2 kids, so whatever I can do to make an extra buck, please believe I will.
I'm that guy, and no... I'm not thankful for resellers.
I'm thankful for CONNECTS, HOOKUPS and FRIENDS. I've got a couple friends in Louisville that e-mailed ME and asked me if I wanted them to pick me up this Countdown Pack. Guess how much they would have charged me?
The same amount I've charged them before for previous things (I can't remember how I hooked one of 'em up, but I know that the other one relied on me to get him the white/red laser IV package online the night they released and nubuck XIIs the night they released, and I came through for him... for a grand total profit of... zippo.)
THAT'S what we're thankful for; hookups, connects, friends, and anyone willing to NOT make a dollar today so that maybe I can help you out later and charge you zippo. And even if these folks never pay me back for my 'retail + shipping' favor I usually try to do: I really don't care. I'm not doing it so that they can return the favor... but if that ends up happening, of course I'll feel good about it
As far as "connects" go, they're all in other cities...a few here, though...
As far as "hookups" go, I've made them for as long as they're employed at FL...
As far as "friends" go, I've got none that work for those stores...the ones I consider "associates" don't give somethin for nothin.
The bad part about ALL of those is, they come and go...managers get shifted to other stores or diff.cities when they become promoted to a bigger store, or justcompletely quit....happened tons of times, and then your "hookup" is gone...
Like I said, if I know a guy thats one of my friends and he wants it, I'll cut him a stupid deal...but, I can't give it for retail. That just cut outall the work I had to do, not to mention he prob.wouldn't return the favor. The shoes I usually want are hard to obtain...if a store allows 1 pair perperson, and he's gettin em also, guess who's gettin left out?
Strange enough, the connects I DO have here, were from me spending the amount of money I do on releases like this. If they didn't know your name before,they do now. I'm sure a lot of other people are the same way. There's a store I go to that doesn't make me purchase any LS clothing with theshoes...just the shoes themselves...but, they also don't let me take whatever I want either.
Also, let's look at it like this...
Like I said, these didn't blow over here...only a few people in the mall when they opened. Now, if I'm online at 6:00 pm, and someone is pissed becausethey sold out in their area, and we're sittin on FSR's over here, why WOULDN'T I capitalize on that?! When the DMP's dropped, I had e-mailsthroughout the day askin for 7.5's and 8's...none of which I originally bought. Even at 7:00 pm, those sizes were still there, so should I have leftthem for someone with a small foot? IMO, if you haven't bought it by that late in the evening, I don't feel sorry for you.

And Mike, Instead of you coming back with another comment, Thank Cam for not banning you for a certain word thats
prohibited on NKETLK. And edit your post my friend. I dont wanna see you banned.
Actually, he didn't...if you go back and read it correctly, you get in trouble for telling people to look at it, or directing them to it...none of which I've done.Originally Posted by mikeadog

yeah thanks, the first post on this thread says you will be banned for links like Cameron Nelson has with his email address listing his $400 countdown packs he's selling on this thread.
and i can't believe the prices dummies pay for all these weak releases WITHOUT boxes.
Dude go back and read the OTHER post that ijapino made. He said as long as its in your sig and you're not telling people to "check the sig" then you're good. Some cats kill me trying to call people out when they don't even read the whole post.
EXACTLY...he's too busy tryin to bust a mod to go back and check it for himself.
He's not the first person who tried it, but he keeps digging a deeper hole for himself
