    The sneaker market is inflated by resellers just recycling shoes to each other. Every convention video or short you see is just one reseller buying from another. The whole thing is a sham

      ​@Fitsbyfree I guess they don't wear sneakers just wear them. They buying just to selling them and for the flex. 🤔. I went to pawn shop
      I literally see sneakers fresh in box. They don't even take with out the box no more. If you trying pawn or sell. They want brand new in thr box. Which is mind blowing . You would think l they would take used sneakers, now they want "fresh in the box". Now I see they are more sneakers consignments shops.

If you are then, you seriously need to go back and take a civics class! Our National deficit has now reached 35-37 trillion dollars. We are printing money out of nowhere. We went from a 4 percent interest rate to a national level about 9 percent in only 4 years. In the past 4 years housing has increased 100 percent! Gas is up to $8.00 a gallon here! The cost of food has risen by 13%. ALL OF THIS HAS COME UNDER THE PRESIDENCY OF JOE! You have to be either a delusional child who understands nothing about politics, or a bot!

    Simple. Buy what you like and will wear. Don’t jump on the hype train. The tracks are broken.
    I’ve been into it all since 2005. Yes I’ve sold some of my shoes and profited.
    Bought some that weren’t popular but I liked. Never had an intend to make money. If friends or someone else offered me more money and they really wanted them I’ve sold pairs. Traded for something I liked better. I’ve had fun. Greedy people have ruined the fun. Let’s make it all enjoyable again.
    I like Kobe9. Uptempo. Off White Blazers. CB34. Now Li Ning. As you can see most aren’t massively popular. Just what I enjoy.

      It’s not only back to back releases it was like that when market was high it’s production quantity aka supply is very high. They are producing way more quantity that’s why the market prices are way lower and couple that with a bad economy makes it worse. They will go back to lower production soon and prices will pick up a little. Everything was fairly limited when the market was going crazy 2017-2019/20

    I don’t think reselling sneakers is a problem it’s only a problem when they jack the price up like crazy like 1-2k but if they just charging 100$ more than retail it’s just business they got ‘em before you did they want a lil bread for the work of either standing in line like I do or putting in multiple orders with friends on raffles hoping you could win 2-3 pairs knowing you might not even get 1 if you’re reselling as a side hustle it’s cool get your bread but if you’re a scalper then no but if people want to start a sneaker reselling business with reasonable prices I see nothing wrong with that

      @sarinnhek9799 3 місяці тому

      The problem with your logic is the average person may buy a few extra pairs and resell for a small fee above msrp but, today's actual reseller is buying in mass way before it's even released just to make $100 on a GR pair. Imagine a few hundred pairs sold to 100 resellers each. Now you're actually subjected to paying more for a GR pair just because they had a plug and you didn't. What type of work is being put into that hustle? WE the consumer dictate how valuable something really is. Meaning, MSRP can say whatever it wants but if no one buys it then naturally it falls below that. Same logic applies to resellers in this case.

I was a diehard Adidas guy before the relaunch of the DQM “Bacon’s.” I really had no idea about the culture. I got on the SNKRS app. Saw the Pre Game Air’s, the Bacons, and thought “ok, I’ll bite. I’ll get both pair on the app.” Yea…… No. I eventually got on stock x, and got em, and the CLOT’s. I definitely dropped wayyyyy too much on em. The only shoes I scored on the SNKRS app were that AJ’1 Reverse Shadows. After buying about 15 pair in between then, and now, I’m a Nike Fan. But, shoes are not something I can afford right now, and I honestly don’t have any room for another pair. Which sucks, but, hell. ONE CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH SHOES! 😂👊🏼👌🏽🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🧂🧂😝

    What about inflation and scarcity over time as new pairs diminish. Like do you think brand new Paris dunks should be worth $80 because that was retail? Idk this video sounds like he’s just complaining because he doesn’t want to put alittle effort into buying it. I personally have a couple resellers I’m willing to pay alittle extra to $30-40 per release to get whatever i want without me waiting in line or worrying about the shoe. But if you can’t even do that, you’re just a cheap entitled individual thinking they deserve the most and wouldn’t help these 10-15 year olds make an extra dollar. Would you rather these kids sell drugs? Cause concept of drugs is the same, drug dealers make anywhere from 30-600% every flip. So id rather these kids stay off the streets and make cleaner money.
