16-year-old Makes Up To S$30k A Month Flipping Sneakers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- Geylang Methodist Secondary School student Remus Er started out playing Key Master, a type of claw machine for sneakers. He used his savings of S$1,000 to win five pairs of shoes which he re-sold for S$2,500.
Today, this teen boss juggles studying for O-Levels and a sneaker reselling business, Hype Master. He buys limited edition sneakers and the latest releases - like the Nike x Off White Air Force 1 Volt and Adidas Yeezy 350 V2 Synth (non-reflective) Asia exclusive - to ‘flip’ them. On good months, he makes up to S$30,000 in sales.
His biggest sale - a pair of Air Dior Low for S$8,000.

What’s a question you’d like to ask Remus? We have two: Do you still get allowance from your parents and how much is your personal sneaker collection worth?
- Sim Yee
he give his parents allowance
First
What are his goals, dreams
if he dont use bot, can he cop it or not?
How does he feel contributing nothing to society?
lmao bots, he is the reason why manual user can't get it at retail price.
ya sia kimak i always at checkout page then it says sold out. this type of people also have 😔
yep fkrs like them is why we can't get em at retail
Sial nye budak.
He is basically a bloody scalper. He's no different from those buying ps5 and reselling. Why are those ps5 buyers and sellers labelled as scalpers while this shoe scalper is getting glorified? He is basically preventing people who genuinely buying the shoe to wear and then reselling them at a much higher price. Bloody scalper.
exactly
bruh y'all some hating ass dude. respect the hustle. There's a lot of resellers around the world.
@@NumbCornsGG Atleast the other sneaker resellers don’t use bots. I bet some of the other sneaker resellers can’t get limited edition sneakers due to this dude using bots.
@@vivianpham9675 it’s part of the hustle deal with it
This is so unethical y'all shouldn't even be praising him for this.
he getting money tho
@@xochhardy3755 Yeah but that's kind of like getting money from scamming people. Or robbing people.
@Zach Galifianakis bro dont be bringing race into this man
brave of him to show his face
Why ?
@@Lickychar bc he uses bots
I'm 25 and earning my own money now but if my mom ever finds out I spent $1000 at a claw machine, I won't be alive.
Its great that he got the entrepreneurship streak at such a young age. However what he is doing is nothing short of being a scalper.
Using bots and trying to evade the countermeasures used by the websites shows how unethical his practice is. He is preventing other genuine buyers from getting access to the products and reselling those shoes at a higher price, to the detriment of such buyers.
I hope his parents could educate him on ethical business practices while nurturing his entrepreneur aspirations.
lol at "ethical business practice". dont jealous lah.
Profiting at expense of others and creating artificial shortage. Would you feature him if he was selling masks
Supply and demand. Every company does that.
Masks are essential, sneakers are not... quit hating LMAO. And artificial shortage? You're joking right? Nike is in charge of supply, not a 16yr old kid
so.... its like ticket scalping but for shoes?
yes and its killing the sneaker game/ hobby for alot of people
This boy dares to show his face. Using Bots to buy. Reselling them. Unfair advantage right at the start.
Don't blame the player blame the game
Don't blame the player blame the game
Title is misleading. He MIGHT make 30k a month, and that was probably only once when he sold the Dior 1 lows, and that probably isn't even net profit lmao 😂 even Nova isn't making 30k a month profit and judging from what this kid uses, his set up is 💩 compared to others out there. "Oh no my wifi was detected" lmaoooooo
Nova is so good
Real talk I hate resellers in so many aspects and Bots users. Thats F*#@ing cheating. You cheat and you sell what you got from it by 4-5x the price? TF! I always rely on luck and I’m a sneaker collector and you are proud of such? SMD.
@@wuzz pftttttttttttttttt
u wont be hating if u are the one making money.
this kid and his family probably hoarded toilet paper and hand sanitiser a few months ago
@CNA....wow... glorifying a scalper? Usage of BOTs?! Seriously?? There are many more ppl worth interviewing and letting the public know about. Do better research and report real positive stuff.
Gotta be a rich kid in the first place
Who says? That's just your excuse
@@natureblank1401 oi one shoe thousands of dollar la confirm need money first la
No lah, only 100$ can buy 2 shoes to resale already
Is he paying taxes though
I’m disappointed there are people stupid enough to spend thousands on shoes
Now you can see the intelligence of our voters. Trump also sees it.
rich people exist. u think not worth it. but u forget that to u is thousand, to them is probably a few bucks.
He is not adding any value to the whole eco system, just like people flipping properties.
That’s business, even big Brand’s like Walmart does it. Reselling goods made in China and upsell it. I don’t get what’s wrong with it. That’s why ppl are complaining abt their Low pay job
@@javiersow2559 You are blind to the significant role that this big supermarket plays. They are a one stop station for shoppers which means you q up to buy multiple items instead of hopping from one shop to another which saves you time and translates to $ for a time strap office worker like us. On top of that , these supermarket create an economic of scale which they can negotiate with the supplier for lower price which the savings is pass on to the consumers, not to mention that they are shipped in bulk, cost savings in delivery per item. Which sometimes u wonder why when u buy direct one piece of item from factory can cost u more than u buy from supermarket.
Alan Tan Alan Tan is it the same thing as what he does. If you do know the sneaker game, you have to queue hours to get a pair of shoes and these reseller have to wait in queue to get 1 of this pair. The buyer also save time just that they have to fool out more in price
@@javiersow2559 That reminds me of people queuing up for concert tickets only to sell them higher in the open market and in chinese, it is called 黄牛票which is illegal and unethical because it causes artificial inflation which is not the same as your Walmart example. It spoils the whole market and does not add value.
Alan Tan I honestly believe you don’t understand this ecosystem, I may just think that this game is just anyhow buying and reselling but no. You need to know what pair is selling . For example, Adidas releases two pairs of shoe at the same time called yeezy cloud white and another Color. But even though they are the same shoe . 1 shoe could not be resold because it is not popular. Not only that , you must know which shoe size to buy not any shoe size would work. US size 10 may be unprofitable but if you buy size 6 you could make money. If you say this does not create anything in the ecosystem u are wrong. Nike Adidas wants ppl like them to raise the price to make their goods more valuable, creating a rush in demand. If you could walk to a store and just simply buy it at retail? Why would there be hype? By creating hype , there is more value in the brand. Not only that there are more jobs created for example the 1b dollar company StockX or even own local startup novelship. By having more jobs what’s wrong with you? Even Gary V teaches kids learn how to flip and sell. He found a market to take advantage of it. If amazon found a market to take advantage of the e-commerce space and even if they inflate the price much higher than buying from Walmart. They help create jobs. Is all about knowing your marketing well Alan Tan. Is not as simply as what you think.
The dislikes and negativity exceeds that of likes and cheers, on UA-cam, Singapore Reddit (thread got locked FYI), HWZ forums and international social feeds, this speaks volume of the whole "newsworthy" bait. To clarify, I don't follow on shoes and these materialism you youths are chasing. I know you are probably lurking and reading these comments. Remus (and Sam Er), you should reflect if this sideline is worth it, rather, a simple question of whether ethics is more important than making a dime. The choice is ultimately yours to make, but be aware of each choice's impacts, and to live with it without having it come back to bite you. To CNA Desmond Ng, you may be new to journalism and probably wants to contribute high impact articles to clock that KPA of yours. The questionable choice of this topic, the subject's inner works and processes, and twisted bait-worthy headline, that does not reflect well on the professionalism of a true journalist or reporter. I believe you can do better than that. All I want is to share an inspiring exemplar to the youths in venturing the outside world and be ethical on it. This is the opposite of what I am expecting, and I am disappointed with the quality produced. I hope to see more empowering articles that is ethical and meaningful.
@@javiersow2559 Your comment make absolute zero sense and relevance to the OG poster. Are you illiterate or something? *Roll eyes*
stop being so pc
Flippers make me sick.
Nothing wrong with being a reseller, if he line up like everybody else. Using bots is not against the law, but unethical. Imagine a group of thugs cut through your line in the new iphone launch. Grab and PAY for everything while leaving those who line up for days with nothing. You won't take that lying down? Neither should you glorified this.
Not illegal but unethical. He shouldnt be doing it nontheless.
treefted wdym??
@@FasterThanY0u. the police won't catch you but still wrong
people like him is the reason why i couldn't ore order ps5 ..
One word. SCALPERS ~ Nothing to praise bout what he does.... no value to learn anything from him ..... if like that better praise the other scalpers out there too !~ ( btw now I know why always other ppl can't get the limited edition sneakers dy cause of person like him ! Using bots and GRABS more than 2 pairs of the limited edition sneakers.... then reselling them more higher price! )
What does flipping in this video mean?
DS
Freakin bots =(
Lol liddat if when avengers come out I buy all the tickets and sell online at double the price will cna interview me for my entrepreneurship? F off la this kid. Yea he's not the only scalper around but still a scalper nevertheless. Why is he being glorified ? Got some nice shoes I want buy within seconds out of stock lol. I die also won't spend above retail for this kind of disgusting ppl. Same for rolex - looking at you grey market dealers.
This guy bullies me in school
Wah f that guy lah that clown
Where is his shop?
I am surprised cna promote this. They are flippers like once upon a time people queue up for iphones and resell to other markets.where is iras?
Bots he’s also good at computing knowledge haha
The most impressive part is that he actually won something in the key machine.
Thanks for sharing how money can be made over sneakers.
Honestly he’s just capping, 20k-30k a month? Cap. Selling the jordan 1 diors low for 8k? Cap. He was selling those in a group for under 7k. His introduction to shoes and giving people identity? Cap, obvious you ripped it off some article online.
He tried to ask me to flake my customers for his own gain, not very nice anymore innit?
Not only is this boy a bloody scalper and is proud of it, he also engages bots to interact with websites which is shady at best, and illegal at worst. CNA... do a better job at doing research before endorsing such activities please. Just because a 16-year-old is taking in $30k revenue a month doesn’t mean you need you need to glorify him. Disgusting.
Wonder how many he bought from looters
That's how you do business. Buy it cheap and sell it almost 5 times the prices..
If this is what DPM Heng Swee Keat meant by how the Home team are outlining Singapore's plans to get through Covid-19 pandemic and emerge stronger, As Singapore navigates this critical juncture of its economic development, where its aim is not just to get through the Covid-19 crisis, but to gain ground and pave the way for its next lap of growth, i fear for this future >:D
Tbh using bots shouldn't be legal
Actually, what he does just make it harder for others to actually buy those actual shoes actually.
Such practices need to stop actually. I will actually feel very infuriated if every time when I need to get something, I need to actually get it from someone who actually hoards the products and resells them to me at higher prices just because he has some ways to purchase them ahead of me.
I actually agree with the other netizens that what this boy is actually doing is almost the same as those hoarding essentials during crunch time and reselling them. He calls it smart; I call it unscrupulous, actually.
I find the use of actually too excessive. I got a split headache listening to his "actually actually."
Useless sneakers. You don't wear it for a few years the soles will drop off
Why so many dislikes ?
stephen kroll i think price gouging is only truly applicable to necessities like toilet papers, like no choice got to buy at wtv price. But for sneakers, it is just a want not a need, no one is forcing these buyers to pay at such high prices, they are willing buyers because they see value. It is almost like stocks. You wouldnt say Hermès or berkshire hathaway stocks is price gouging, they are scarce and ppl are willing to pay. If these sneakers manufacturers mass produce unlimited, no such thing will happen anw
because he earn money without an effort. even using a auto clicker bot lmao
This is how the rich get richer. Don't blame him. Blame who bought it.
This dude uses TSB and runs all his tasks local lmaoooooooooo ; pls teach him how to cop xd
If this is what “competitive and prepping kids for the rat race” means in Singapore, which is very common amongst parents and students, then I would say Singapore has failed, cultivating people who gain at the expense of morals. Remember, the way we win matter
I didnt even have money to buy a pair when I was his age. Dont even have a proper pc
Diam diam la kpkb ADLV boy
Bo liao
Man may be a scalper, but he got those business skills and drive
Cb this guy
Kinda washed ngl, gpas fnf makes the triple in one release with it ftl queue bypass
At least he know what he like
Ask him show more of his botting lol I bet got some things that is against SG’s law lmao he dumb doing this interview tbh
Money makes money :-)

Create a subscription for the channel and import it for you
Consoooom
L bah me
Impressive, inspiring, why so many dislikes?
No it is called being stingy
Imagine queuing up for the latest phone with only 1phone per person policy. And this guy comes up with 1000 replicas of himself and get 1 for every replica
Comments saying he is a scumbag/scalper for doing this, lmao get a life you simpletons, kid's 16 yrs old, i almost respect him for finding this legal loophole, people are doing it all the time in business its nothing new, just that he's a kid he's a bit naive at covering it up
If u are a average sneaker collector u will know why we say that
2020 Botting Ls bah :)
Lots of sour grapes cos they earn less than a 16yo 😂
Singapore Jeff bezos
That's a stupid comparison. Jeff started his own company from scratch. This kid is ripping people off. There's no correlation between the two.
i wish my child can be as smart as this. a cash cow
