This "shoes as investments" conversation is  a joke right?

You guys have to still be in Highschool, thinking that's an "investment"

Nahhhh

Not kidding at all 

 

[urbetterthenme]

 
SMH @ people who think making $200 profit on a pair of shoes in 2 years is a "good investment"

How about two years of law school and making $200 an hour?

That's an extreme comparison. You should have just stayed in school for free.

Bruh! I'm still here trying scoop a 8.5. How do you do it? Teach me! lol

go to mall

go ask in all sneaker stores

cop

profit?

 

[getemchavez]

If 200$ gets you out of bed in the morning, then by all means. What you don't understand is that in the same exact time it takes you to make a post, sell the shoes, ship them out and deal with the risks involved with making that sale--others have already laughed their way to the bank with thousands.

You act as if that $200 is the only money the seller is seeing.

What if the seller is making that $$ daily and seeing that extra $200?

As someone who makes that money daily, I can tell you sitting on a pair of shoes for 2 years and then selling it is too much of a headache for me to get involved in. To each their own.

To be honest we shouldn't judge someone else's financial situation. They may need that extra $200 a week. You never know. Just saying. Let people make their money. [emoji]128515[/emoji]

All I'm saying is a little extra money never hurt anyone (doesn't matter how much it is)

Sitting on my 8 pairs of black/red 1s sure didn't hurt me at all 

These Infrareds will be the same deal.

Tons of rich kids/adults out there looking to just THROW away their $$

Sitting on 17 pairs of these isn't a bad move.

Now if the dude was sitting on 17 pairs of 4LAB1's 

That's a problem

Just cause a kid flips some shoes for a couple hundred (or couple g's) aint no different than a millionaire working hard for his/her money. People acting like rich people ain't work hard for their money either. Different game, same grind...

 

[ohgeekush]

Not everyone is in the same tax bracket guys. Profit is profit

thats an index not a single stock bro

do you even edumacation?

 

[feelingood]

I'm positive. I did a quick look up of the Jordan 4 Bred for instance that dropped in 2012 (2 year span) Majority of all sold were over the $300 mark and most sold from a range of $350 to $400 new.

Lol. Bred 4's run from 220-310, unless you want to get price raped off course. Anything you see on eBay, sellers are usually willing to give a 50-70 dollar discount just to move them out of stock.

You guys have to still be in Highschool, thinking that's an "investment"

Why is it a joke? Being able to wear a pair of shoes and enjoy them and still being able to net a gain? Not even the car you buy now can do that. People invest in coins, gold, etc. To say one is purposely buying shoes as an investment no but the fact you're able to have an item that appreciates in value is nice. Warren Buffet didn't become a billionaire by thinking "Oh 10 of these stocks will bring me back, $2000" he continued to double and triple up.

Who said it was a single stock? 

 

[gil23]

Oh we talking about business and investments here now??

you're right, but they're talking about waiting a whole 2 years for it 

   do ya'll tho, and get that money 

  

 

[endeesee]

why are you quoting an index in your argument bro

 

[brodel34]

its like saying "making a bottle of wine and then letting it age is not worth it." its all about scale and context.

 

[ohgeekush]

It shows the average yearly return for the Dow Jones... you still don't understand where I'm going with this?

Just playing devils advocate here, but winning a raffle, putting a shoe away, selling it years later sounds effortless imo.

 

[flatfoot718]

At least the discussion is about $$$$ rather than material used on these shoes..that nubuck talk was going no where..

 

[urbetterthenme]

All this time telling people they don't know how to invest, yet you here wasting time you could be using to make money
