i feel where your coming from don't get me wrong, personally unless i was making a significant profit i wouldn't even bother waiting in line at all and if i were to wait on line for a few hours with the intent of turning a profit i wouldn't move em for a small profit either. however seeing how a good chunk of past releases have been, those who panic and need to have the shoes right now and right away will overpay and cop for around $270, once everyone that HAS to have them get em, the prices drop and that's how it is with almost every release. you need to strike when the iron is hot. those who didn't get $280 or so for their pairs by the end of this weekend are most likely going to end up selling their pairs for less then what they would've liked to get for them.
i've seen ds 2004 playoff xii's sell on here in the $210-220 range as recent as a few months back, chicago x's have been listed on here for what i would consider to be reasonable prices, i remember seeing dudes paying $350 for the yellow foams, a week and a half later they were selling for retail, tax, and shipping. i can't knock dudes getting their money but those who don't maximize profits during the intial weekend of the release usually end up selling for less then they wanted.
