Capitalism...WHAT RECESSION!!!!
THESE ARE GOING TO TOUCH $600 a PACK....THAT IS GOING TO BE INSANE PEOPLE....
does anyone remember last Nov when the XV came out on Flight Club and they were like $150 and Nike was discounting them and they were going for like $250-$300the first weekend they came out?
Any one smell a repeat...The price averaging $500 simply because they have not come out and come the 21st....they will be flooded on eBay...
I think there are going to be a ton of split packs here shortly...
thoughts...
sorry...just trying to keep the thread fresh as best I can

They couldnt even Flip the Jumpman on the heel of the XI....that just baffles me....Seriously
why hoop in outdated technology...if ur gonna spend $150+ on a shoe to play ball...why not get a newer shoe thats better performance wise...who cares about how pretty your feet look
See....JB has brainwashed yall

There is a greater chance this time around that more people will keep both shoes. I don't know why anyone would split this pack. I think thehighest these will go for is $700-$1000. I saw the 6/17 go for between $500-$600.

I'm splitting the packs...for the only reason being is that XI, I hold in regard because of childhood memories...but I understand what you mean...
this is one of the few packs people are going to want both pairs like the 16/7 and 17/6 or 10/13
I never really got into the XII and I know there are a ton of people who those are their grails...so I help them/they help me...
I believe because there might still be that small percentage of parents or those who didn't realize the date has changed, that will scramble to get them and UTA and PYS will get their Christmas Miracle..lol
I guess speculating isn't going to help...6 days and counting...

What he means is that there is going to be like one or two auctions where the desperate bidders are going to pay...dearly...
It won't be the norm...
Happens all the time nowadays...wii release, xbox360 release, DMP's Ti XX3...need I go on...
the sanity will come back once the year starts and people see the bank/credit statements! LOL

See....JB has brainwashed yallAIR JORDANS ARE BASKETBALL SHOES!...meaning they're "supposedly" designed to hoop in....JB=Jim Jones (Not the rapper) google it
so are chuck taylors that doesent mean im gonna play basketball in them in 2008.....and i know who jim jones is.....no need for google....but my point is whyplay basketball in a shoe designed over a decade ago when theres plenty of better performance shoes out now.....i understand the quality has gone tocrap....but the only time that should even be an issue is if they are not even good enough to stand casual wear...thats when i have a problem...but if someoneis still buying jordan retros for the purpose of just straight basketball 9 out of 10 times they are not very good or they are only worried about theirappearance and only want to look cool

Yep. Look at what happened when the PS3 released. I think one sold for $2000! What sense does that make? The DMP has went for a $1000+. This CDPcontains a shoe that is probably the most known J. That alone will cause brain farts. Watch. Someone is going to pull the trigger for $700+.

I will be splitting my packs! It amazes me how the price of tis pack has gone this high. Like I said, I would rather get a DS DMP than pay the money some ofyou are speculating these will go for.

I am splitting my packs now as we speak (the ones on ebay are mine...hence the same name...) but I am not a reseller...
when everyone was going crazy yesterday because one pair of XII's I had on was at $217+
Well the auction ended at like $223 but the person didn't pay...so now it's relisted...
so bewary you know...
to each his own...
I see the XII's averaging $190-$230 and the XI going for around $300 during the next two weeks...the packs I am with my boy and agree we will see a $700+impulse bid...but that won't be the norm...
I think the pack will average $500-$600 for the next two weeks...
If the sites are getting $460 + shipping on PYS and $450 on UTA Easy...then think about what resellers are just salivating as we speak...
someone made a good point like 1000 pages ago( wow folks...125 with 7 days to go...
not in this financial climate...I don't care who you are or what you do for a living...the tempo out in the streets is different...
so above are my hypothetical for the next couple of weeks...if there is not restock on FNL come the 23rd...for those looking for a Christmas Eve delivery...
we might see a $800+ auction....
time will tell...

for those who already have it, how do they fit? like the DMPs did? or half size smaller like the recent run of nike shoes?
