Let me use a common NT word for you hate. Come into the thread to say how easy they were to cop, which is fine. Whatever. Then go on and on about how they are "boring" and aren't "neck breakers". Obviously they are where he/she lives, didn't know the thread required the hate you spewin.

there are more nickel and dime resellers like myself on niketalk then ever before
but what a lot of you new guys fail to see there are bunch of people trying to do the same thing on release day
your spending $540.00 to make a $180.00 when thousands of other people all around the country are doing the same thing
you will be happy to get your $540.00 back for all 3 pairs
that's too much work for $40.00 a pair
also dont forget new hoh/footlocker and nike outlet stores doing restocks
you cant win
there are shoes you can still make money on but the quick big money shoes are few and far between these days
and harder and harder to get unless you got a good hook up
the real reseller cash is to sit on a shoe and when the market dries up of deadstock pairs then sell
but with re-retros coming out so quickly that's a gamble also
anyways with selling new GR releases in 2013 there is hardly any money to be made for all that work of lineing up and waiting to pay retail
better your cash then mine

All that, makes me happy. The less money the re-sellers make, the better for all of us.

Pretty much. You can make more at a real job instead of trying to resell GRs.

I really miss the old days, and I am not talking about the very old days of the 90's or early 2000's, I am talking about like 5-6 years a go, when a man could walk in to any of the stores in the mall (Champs, FL, FNL) and just buy a pair of J's with out the hustle, the lines, the camps and all the rest of the BS. Look what happen just for a few years...I blame it on Nike/JB limited releases and unnecessary hype.

i feel ya man. truthfully i didnt start buying retros until a year and a half ago. (always thought alot of em were ugly) but i remember when i used to walk into footlocker and just see em wasting space. specifically where im from i remember the aquas sitting

Pretty much everything was sitting, and that was good. You did not have to wake up at 5AM (if you are in PST) in order to try to secure your pair, you could just walk in a week or 2 later and buy as many as you like. Prices on ebay were fair, nobody was trying to rip you a new one...aaah the old days.
Anyway I like the FRV's and waiting on the Steel, Laney's and Taxi's, that is going to be it for me to the rest of the year, I think I am going to quit on the J's next year, $170 is really getting out of hand now.
