Is it just me or did the market prices on retros skyrocket???

Yepert!  I was thinking about purchasing some Grape V's but I saw BIN prices in the realm of $350.  That's ridiculous.  Hopefully this trend will taper off.  Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.  If people stop paying these ridiculous the trend will cease.

Sad thing is that a lot of people really on shoes more than being smart and worry about surviving. Hype and Power, having that 'shoe' and showing everyone that you can put that prrice on it.

Flight Club charges tax in-store too... So add 10% to those listed prices for the SB's and you've got one super ugly PRICE TAG.

I'm not complaining. Once people will realize they are asking unrealistic prices for their shoes, we will start seeing the market drop.
