My friend just bought himself a pair for $230 cash in Brooklyn, NY - good deal? I'm also looking for a size 14 pair myself, but can't help paying more than $200-
Why not just wait util RD and pay $170?

100% correct I don't know how somebody could justify that.... :x^^^ its not about the "couple of months" its the totality of the situation.
if you dropping $400 a week and its 52 weeks in a year, thats $20,800 of POST TAX money. Thats about 30-35K pre tax.
I'm late... But are these gr?

If you got it like that then I don't see what the big deal is ... People spend more money on other collectables in a year, so 20K seems like light work to me.
And let's be realistic, how many people do y'all know that double up every week on a new release besides resellers? I know a few collectors who double up on certain releases, but not all.
Retros don't drop every week, so y'all saying people be doubling up on Phats, Mids, Alphas, Spiz'ikes, 6 rings, etc too?? Even if we add Kobes, Lebrons, KDs, Foams, and other gimmicks to the equation they still don't release every week, so I think that total number is much lower than 20K. And if you're a reseller, you're probably breaking even if your clientele is top notch.
HAS IT LIKE THAT = NICE SALARY so you just supported what I said initially.
honestly, it seems like 70% of niketalk HAS IT LIKE THAT. was just an observation. more power to those that do.
the numbers i toss out are very, very rough BUT nike has been smacking us with multiple shoes most weekends that can offset the doubles talk.
I mean, unless you only follow 1 shoe, then you will average at least the 21K number i tossed out there.
Nike will gladly do a thursday friday and saturday set of releases that will include Kobes, Lebrons, KDs, Jordan XX8s, Foamposites, Jordan Retros x 2 or 3, Penny Vs, Barkleys, etc and people will hop on at least 2-3 of them.
There are rules about hobby losses.... Unless you plan on showing a profit in the near future the IRS will catch up to you especially a huge schedule C loss (most of the people I highly doubt would incorporate) is like a huge red flag and basically screaming audit me....100% correct I don't know how somebody could justify that.... :x^^^ its not about the "couple of months" its the totality of the situation.
if you dropping $400 a week and its 52 weeks in a year, thats $20,800 of POST TAX money. Thats about 30-35K pre tax.
What you do is start up a "business" and write that 30K off.
Oops, did I say that?

Do any of you guys keep the plastic film over the hologram when you wear them??! haha
Those are perfectly legitimate expenses as long as you really are a personal trainer... But you can't use your sneaker hobby as expenses especially if they are the 20k numbers like we were discussing, as I said and if you did prepare for the IRS to rotor-rooter your return if you show a huge loss or a $20,000 deduction for clothing expense on a schedule CBe a personal trainer, You can write off the equipment you need to do your job ie: shoes, shirts, shorts etc...
My sentiments exactly.sucks that spending our own money has become a hassle .. so we spend more to avoid it
