HOPEFULLY they follow the same path...

And I'll never understand reselling as being "the next mans hustle". It's a shady practice, always is, always will be. Are you telling methat rather than getting a proper career in your life, you just want to resell shoes all your life? That's pretty lame if you ask me. He was on his job?How does that make all the others who stood in line in the same fashion? They were not on their job, because they weren't lucky enough to get their numberraffled, or they just weren't decieving enough to bum-rush lineups or know the store manager? Whatever.

its simple, some people arent as financially fortunate as others may be. They see this opportunity to make some cash and they take it. Others will hate becausethey dont have the heart to wait out there day after day with resellers and jordan loyalists so they sit on their +#$ and talk shiit behind a screen name.. Yougotta respect their "hustle" .. They waited it out, you didnt.. simple and plain

Cosign.
Resellers/Supporters come and answer.
Heres a situation I want someone to answer. What if you have a line of 23 people, 23 shoes, each person can get the size they want, but a reseller #1 or #2 inline buys up 3+ pair leaving the others looking stupid. So what do you think about that situation? Is that right? Is that fair?

Of course it's not fair.. and its dead wrong. This is a situation where the stores need to take the responsibility of only selling one pair per person. Butunfortionatly, this is not the case, you've got stores that seem to cater to this nonsense, and so you've got this madness starting. Before thislaunch, I simply assumed that the one pair per person concept would be employed at every store, just considering the low numbers of these shoes.. especiallythe stores with the Nike reps right on site.. doesn't make sense to me how some people got 3 or more pairs.. the stores don't get anything out of this;they certainly don't get the resellers profit, or perhaps they just don't give a s--t.. who knows.

I think they just don't care. They really need to put in a 1 or 2 per customer policy or something.

right? fair? again what world do u guys live in. It's called LIFE homie. Reselling may be a "shady" practice but this is a shady world we livein. hustlin is hustlin not matter what the product is.
And if thats the situation then ur just S.O.L. homie. U either suck it up and take the L or u do whatever it is tht u have to do 2 get the shoes if they meanthat much 2 u There's always a way.
O and emphasis on the "IF IT MEANS THAT MUCH TO U PART"

I wonder what stores had a first come first served policy.. just curious, cause if EVERY store did a raffle, then as I mentioned many pages before, you havethe same chance being first in line to someone last in line. So it's funny that you say that "there's ALWAYS a way".. what exactly are youreferring to?
Where there any stores that did this First come First Served policy? If so.. those are the only stores I'd ever go to.

Oh the furthest I'd go is a few bills. If dudes are willing to drop almost a stack or more then thats them. Shoes aint the end all and be allso its only so far I'd go. I just know I'm not the type to step on other dudes toes just to make a quick buck.
And the mods have been slippin and slidin lately.

I wasn't on my job?
You might need to fully read what everyone has said thus far about the situation. Nobody is knocking his hustle if thats what you want to call it. We aresimply saying, buy one and keep it stepping. Buying 2 is acceptable in most cases. He didn't need 3 pairs, point blank. I've been in Iraq everytime alimited release has came out that I want. I've missed out every single time. I was DOING my job, not on it. So let's get that straight...There areothers out there with more extreme cases then that.
I'm done talking about this now, I've said what I had to say. So I'm just going to keep it moving and enjoy this Christmas season with family andfriends who bring more enjoyment then sneakers. With that said, Happy Holidays. Everyone be safe out there...

i'm all down for people putting in work to get the shoes...
i mean...i wasn't in a position to take off a few days again to go camp for sneakers or do a lottery somewhere...for those that were able to doit....that's cool...that's what collecting is about...sacrificing for your collection - no doubt..
and i'm not even really mad a re-sellers...collecters made the market for them. i guarantee if cats would stop paying 1000-3500 for these shoes folks wouldnot be willing to go through all the effort to pick up a couple pairs to flip...i understand the business and economics of it...i appreciate that...i'm acapitalist myself and I believe that everyone is entitled to make profit on a sale...that's part of the process
my point is really more commentary then anything - it's sad that the market has created this environment where collectors have forced to choose to paycrazy loot or take days off work to get the shoes....that's bonkers
To all the cats that have a g sitting around to pay for a pair of shoes...kudos to you....but let's be honest - you'll be better off buying threeshares of google stock...and sitting on it for 3 years....

It's true. Bottom line is that those of you wishing dudes did not selfishly take care of their own needs by buying multiple pairs are being selfish at thesame time. Some dudes want multiple pairs to rock and sell. Nike is pricing shoes at $230 and limiting certain specific colorways at 529 pairs nationwide(while crushing their own competition). Is that not selfish and/or unfair? MJ got to take more shots then Dennis Rodman when they were rocking together. Isthat unfair? It's not about fair and unfair. It's more about real and unreal. I understand a lot of ya'll are just ventilating but, i mean....whatare you going to do? Just complain? I understand it hurts feelings but like homie said: "It's called LIFE" and people's feelings get hurt inlife everyday.
Here's how I approach it though: things will be unfair....people will do me wrong (like cop 23 pairs leaving none for me (although I did end up getting apair of the finales))...but what am I going to do? I'm going to get on the 'isshh that I've been on. I'm going to think in terms of win or loseon top of a right or wrong foundation. Bottom line is you lost and dudes that cop'd more than 1 pair won. You gotta play to win. That's what MJ used todo. It's probably unfair that MJ got 6 rings too, huh!?! The NBA should probably redistribute MJ's chips, eh!?

i mean for most places nowadays - most shops will only let you pick up 1 pair per person....so that's not an issue
i'm happy folks picked up the xx3's....i wish i was one of you but i'm not - so i'll just move on to fill other gaps in the collection....

If someone can spare the time to camp out for several days for a pair of shoes, reselling or not, more power to them. Some of us have places to be andresponsibilities to take care of, so we can't just chill outside of a store for a week and forget about them.
