So far it looks like I am not buying anything until may with the Chicago 1 and the Xi lows. Was there a Rd for the 13 lows yet, or at least a month of release?

Haven't been mentioned but would like to see release.
From your list, I would be in for the Tour Yellow 4's and Black Chrome 2's.
There's a 6/13/15 release date for a black/metallic gold - university red - white retro 13 low according to@j23app

A lot of members are talking about retiring sometime this year, in all seriousness, what's going to be in store for all the new cats or the members who haven't been here as long? I feel like all hell will break loose and threads will lose calm real quick.

man i hate that they switched the times to 9AM CT. I use to be able to cop at 7am before work but now I have to be slick and try at work on the low. lowers my chances as I can't focus on multiple sites anymore.

Being in the Central Time zone, 7am seemed so much more convenient for me due to a similar reason. In 2015, I'll be one of those who used to be on my phone trying to cop and have my brother try to cop on his computer before he went to work. Now to keep my chances high, I have to hit up raffles, attempt on my phone, and hope that my brother doesn't work on release days of shoe's I'm aiming for or isn't supposed to be at work until well after I copped with these 9am releases.

I love them Tour 4s, slept on em on the initial release, 2yrs later, was craving a pair, did a market search for a year or so, and couldnt find them at a decent price.
I have a rule which I swear by when buying after a miss,never pay $50 above retail. Been that way for as long as I been collecting.

I imagine that finding a pair you really want if you strikeout on release day can be one bad headache.

Honestly, I got every pair I ever wanted for 95% of the time retail, the other 5% I found them between $10-$50 above retail.
(Having trade bait has helped with that 5% as well)
(outside db 9s and Fear 3s-missed and still missing)

See, having trade bait is something I lack since I haven't been able to double up like a lot of members have. I'm working on my collection and then I'll work on doubling it up so I can have that trade bait. But, the way the reresale marker is, if you don't have trade bait it seems like you're easily paying $50 above retail if you really look around and negotiate or $50+. Almost every shoe, GR or not, is immediately listed at $100 above retail and then adjusted accordingly.

Personally excited for Wht/Blk IXs if true. Let's hope the midsole paint at long last doesn't crack.

@Chicagoguy-
I assume it may have something to do with a persons Locale as well. If its a consistent thirsty for Retro J area , resale will stay high.
In Pittsburgh though, once it gets close to that 1 month period where theyre un-returnable to a store alot of resellers panic ,and just want to get a profit ,so theyll let them go at semi reasonable prices. Thats how u play it.
Ftr when I say trade bait Im usually trading straight up ,no cash added via either end, unless market value demands it. Either way Im never above $50 ,that includes value of the trade.(i.e. if a pair I have is valued at 160 and the pair a seller has is at 170, Im not giving them anything other than the shoes for their shoes,but if mines worth 160 and theres retail was 200 ,Id pay them half the retail difference.

I guess what hurts me in the trading aspect or buying for a reasonable price over retail is that I don't know anyone else around where I live that has a passion for Retro Jordan's. It seems like the majority of people who buy at my local go to store's only go when there's a hyped up release and they are trying to come up quick and resell or when it's the annual Jordan XI. But when it comes to GR's that I get I almost always win raffles because no one cares about the shoes. Then, on eBay or Craigslist prices have either set and sellers won't budge much or the price is fresh and they tend to stay over the $50 price range. Granted, we are talking about shoe's that I want that weren't GR's and I wasn't able to get like the completely Infrared 23 upper on the Retro+ 6 that came out at the beginning of the year.
