Resellers were really idiotic for getting the LeBron VIII Lakers to resell!
I peeped StockX a few days ago and saw my size, 10.5, sell for like $250! That went down from the previous sales prices I saw on record. These really depreciated somewhat fast on the resale market shortly after they were released.
If someone only got $250 for them on the resale market, he really didn't make
based on the overhead he had to incur. By default, there's the $200 price of the shoes, sales tax, gas, sellers fee, and shipping cost. So that's just a small net gain.
I'm glad I just got a pair for myself to eventually wear because I love the Lakers and have correlating apparel instead of working stupid and hard for small net gains, especially since I had gift cards to cover the entire $219 total cost.
