NAH! IN MY OPINION THE BLACK/INF'S AREN'T THE SAME A THE BLACK/VAR'S. NUMBER ONE THE BLACK/INF IS DARKER AND HAS A SHORTER GRAIN OF SUEDE THEN THE BLACK/VAR'S. I HAD TO SPRAY MY BLACK/VAR'S WITH FINISH LINE WATER PROOF SPRAY TO MAKE THEM JUST AS DARK AS THE BLACK/INF'S. YES, I OWN BOTH VERSIONS AND I LIKE BOTH VERSIONS OF THE BLACK VI'S, SO IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO ME AS FAR AS WHICH ONE VERSION IS BETTER OR NOT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE ONE OR LIKE ONE BETTER THEN THE OTHER, THEN THAT'S YOUR OPINION AND I RESPECT THAT. WITH THAT BEING SAID; EVERYBODY HAS THERE REASONS FOR BOTH LIKES & DISLIKES. I HAPPEN TO LIKE BOTH AND NO I DON'T FEEL LIKE I WASTED MY MONEY, BECAUSE I WANTED THEM. AS A MATTER OF FACT I WANTED BOTH OF THESE TO JOIN MY 2000 DS INFRARED'S. I WISH THAT I HAD MY OG 1991'S TODAY, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH FORESIGHT TO KEEP THEM.
PLEASE, IF YOU DON'T HAVE BOTH PAIR'S, DON'T MAKE THAT ASSUMPTION, BASED ON WHAT THE NEXT PERSON WITHOUT THEM SAID. YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE WORD ASSUME DON'T YOU? IF NOT...HERE'S WHAT THEY SAY, "IT MAKES AN *** out of U not ME". NON THE LESS, WE ARE ALL ENTITLED TO OUR OPINIONS, BUT LET THOSE OPINIONS BE BASED ON OUR OWN EXPERIENCE VS. THE NEXT MAN'S,WHAT YOU HEARD/WORD ON THE STREET OR WHAT THE GENERAL CONSENSUS SEEMS TO BE ON THE THREAD. IF YOU HAVE BOTH VERSIONS AND FEEL THAT BOTH PAIRS ARE BASICALLY THE SAME, THEN I CAN RESPECT THAT. IF NOT...SSSSHHHHH...BE VERY QUIET. BECAUSE SOMEBODY MIGHT PULL YOUR CARD AND ASK YOU TO SHOW US EXACTLY WHAT YOU SEE (W/PIC'S OF YOUR PAIRS TO COMPARE)!
WHAT WAS THE PHRASE THAT USE TO GET PASSED AROUND HERE BACK IN 2008? OH YEAH, IT WAS, "DUCK TALES"!!!
THIS WASN'T PERSONALLY DIRECTED AT ANYBODY, SO DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL. IT'S MY OPINION, NOT YOURS. NO I DON'T RESPOND TO PERSONAL ATTACKS, BECAUSE IT'S WORTHLESS ONLINE...AS IT IS IN LIFE.

I agree with 160.
And flappy, no Jordan post-2003 will ever be worth 500-700. You're out of your mind.
I've been around here for quite some time and I'll be the first to tell you that NO jordan shoe; ESPECIALLY MADE IN 2010, is even worth 300. According to JB, this pack was a BIG success. To the consumer, this pack was a let-down and mock up of a previous released shoe. That's why I didn't give in and buy. Spend $340 on package, when both shoes releasing separately were priced less. What did you spend the extra $5-$10 for? A shoe box?
that's ridiculous..
I just seen the White/Infrared model end at $140.00 on eBay. A consumer flop turned successful.

this is not the DMP pack all star
if both pairs where not released already
i might agree with a $500.00 price
i dont follow e-bay
i am just looking on here and other resell stores and i can see there not moving buddy
you tell me something different
like you said stores sold out
and resellers on now sitting on the "sold out" packs
only people who made money where the stores the resellers copped from

Communists.
What exactly were we supposed to take away from you "sob story"? That it's OK for you to screw over NTers by buying up a bunch of packs to resell,but it's not OK for an employee at the store to screw over NTers by swappingshoes with the pack? Think about that before you get defensive andanswer with irrelevant garbage. You CAN'T hate the employee who didthis to you. He IS you. Oh, except for the fact that you ARE a fellow NTer.
You not being able to comfortably afford the shoes without selling several packs to make up for it is NOT justification to resell. It just means you need to stop living beyond your means. This whole "I will do/buy what I WANT (not NEED) no matter what I have to do, or who I have to f*ck over to get it" mentality is why this nation is about to be in a world of pain (if you think the economy sucks now, you haven't seen anything yet). Forget about what anybody on NT thinks about it. Doesn't the fact that you are directly contributing to the destruction of America bother you?

what carma are u talking about, you must not of read my last post where I sad I got another pack today and retuned the one with the v-reds. And since when has a grand not been %#!* and actaully I made more than a grand because I also got 2 packs for free on top of the g that I pocketed. A g untaxed is good money for 5 days worth of work, and everyone I sold to thanked me multiple times for how low my price was compared to other sellers. I guess if I had a nike/ jb account y'all wouldn't give a p h u c k cause you don't mind givin all your money to greedy corporate millionares, but if I make some easy money you start hatin like I stole your girl.

YEAH, I AGREE. IT COMES WITH THE TERRITORY OF THIS SITE, LOVE, GAME AND ETC., SO I EXPECTED IT WHEN I PARTICIPATED IN RESELLING FOR THE FIRST TIME/THIS TIME.
NONETHELESS I'VE BEEN IN THE SHOE GAME SINCE 1989 WHEN I GOT MY FIRST PAIR OF VARSITY RED IV'S. IF BEING A RESELLER THIS TIME CONSTITUTES ME NOT BEING A LOVER OF SHOES OR A FAN, THEN IT IS WHAT IT IS. I'M NOT GOING TO ARGUE ABOUT IT, BECAUSE THERE IS NO POINT OF ARGUING.
ON THE OTHER HAND...SINCE I DO FEEL THAT I'M A FAN AND YOU SAID THAT...RE-SELLERS ARE RUINING "THE GAME", THEN "THE GAME" HAS BEEN RUINED SINCE 1999/2000 WHEN I BOUGHT THE 1999/2000 BLACK/CEMENT IV'S, WHITE/CEMENT IV'S, WHITE/MIDNIGHT/NAVY IV'S, INFARED RETRO+ VI'S AND ETC. IT WAS RUINED BACK THEN, BECAUSE THERE WERE RESELLERS BACK 1999/2000.
I NEVER FELT THE NEED TO BLAME THE NEXT MAN FOR ME NOT BEING ON "MY GAME" SINCE 1999, BECAUSE THE REALITY OF "THE GAME" WAS BECOMING MORE APPARENT. IT WAS APPARENT THAT "THE GAME" WOULD NOW INCLUDE RE-SELLERS. I CAN'T SAY THAT I DIDN'T LIKE IT EITHER, BUT IT'S BEEN OVER 10 YEARS OF RE-SELLING AND GUESS WHAT? RE-SELLERS ARE APART OF THE "GAME" AND IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE. WHETHER WE LIKE OR NOT....RESELLING IS APART OF "THE GAME".
HEY, I WON SOME AND I LOST SOME SINCE '99, BUT I NEVER POINTED THE FINGER.
LIKE I SAID; I AGREE WITH SOME OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND EXPECT THE HATE TO COME MY WAY, BUT LET'S NOT FORGET THE FACT THAT RE-SELLERS ARE APART OF THE GAME AND HAVE BEEN FOR QUIT A LONG TIME.
P.S. I AM A FAN NO MATTER HOW YOU MAY LOOK AT IT.
P.S.S. A HYPE IS A HYPE NO MATTER WHAT HIS/HER CHOICE OF DRUG AND/OR FUN IS! YOU CAN'T BLAME THE DOPE MAN FOR THE HYPES CRACK'!*+ WAYS. HE/SHE'S A CRACK HEAD...WHAT ELSE DO YOU EXPECT? LOL!

im not sure why dudes going in on riddla713. anyone that wants the pack can get it for pretty much retail + shipping now so he is not to blame for you not getting your pack. let the dude do him and keep it moving.
as far as what these jordans will be worth... who knows? but tell me this... what "newer" jordan has gained at least 250% value and sustained it since the original DMP pack? Not many (i can only think of super limited ones like titanium/finale 23s and eminem 2s)
jordans dont hold the same value as they used to and dudes that are blind to that are simply ignorant. older jordans are even dropping in value these days. i remember cool grey 11s going for like 700+ on ebay. now they sell for less than 400.
the name of the flip game is this... get them on saturday and have them liquidated by monday at the latest. after that... you risk getting "stuck" with excess inventory. dudes that think this pack will sell for $500 plus are the same dudes that thought the CDPs were gonna rise in value over time. Even the epic 11/12 pack sells for less than $400.
so many so called limited or classic grails drop now that dudes cant keep up. so while they sitting there chasing the carrot of new kicks, the older, new kicks just sit and are had for retail or below.

^ appreciate that homie. there were plenty of packs left at the same stores i bought mine from, and i only copped 3 on rd and the rest i copped on sunday-tuesday. shoot by wed night, i had them all gone except one size 12 and my 2 10.5's and that 12 just sold for a whopping 370 shipped on ebay. i almost refunded the winning bidders payment cause on that pack i lost money after ebay final value fees, but the rest of the packs i got off quick before the price decline. there are still packs sittin in my city, how do i know because i just returned that pack that had the wht vreds instead of the wht infras today and picked up another size 10.5 to replace it. 3 stores at the mall i returned them at still had 5-10 packs each. only dudes that should be mad are the ones who dropped 5 bills to pre-order this limited gr infrared pack cause anybody can get it right now today in any size for retail+tax+shipping. M.O.E.- money over everything including hating shoe forum sneaker activist who protest against legal capitalism and free market society.

you are absolutely right. if you don't resale by the following monday you're taking a big risk.
i thought about reselling this then i changed my mind because something told me nobody was getting more than 450 for this. With ebay fees and all that other good stuff it isn't worth doing one pack.

My main man 160Jordansdeep said it best... If you think your making money reselling Jordans in this day and age, YOUR A FOOL!
If your not getting the shoes for less than retail dont do it... I bought 6 packs on release date for $200 a piece and sold em all same day for $400 each. Thats $200 profit on each pack, but if i was getting them for retail plus tax ($340), I wouldnt waste my time at all because to put up $340 only to make $60-$85 is not worth it...

FNL order came in...DOUBLE UP BABY!
I am seriously done I think....I have some Infrared AM90s on preorder...and I am going to try to chill. I cant be dropping almost $800 on 4 pairs of shoes...it is insanity.
I am happy though and cannot wait to wear these as soon as the sun really comes out in So Cal! I have the perfect pair of Jordan basketball shorts.
