if theres a projected profit, please believe the people will find a way to get the money. and if regulars cant afford them, i know plenty of people with bots who sell their services and stack money for themselves doing it, they could walk away from the release with 10 pairs easy, when theyre making over 6-7k a weekend. and see them up on the bay the next day for double.
sure there are people out there who have the money to buy the shoe for 3 stacks, but to buy resale for 8k? and ofcourse there will be SOME people who pay that amount, but supply and demand will not be the same. what average consumer is really out there trying to put a down payment on a car into a shoe. if or when it ever gets to that point I hope people can take a step back and realize what kind of decisions they are making on something that is worn on your feet and nothing else. but then again if you can afford to spend 8k on a shoe then all this doesn't really matter anyways.
i get what youre saying, and maybe 8k is an exaggeration, but who wouldve expected $245 yeezy 2s to hit 3k resell? i didnt. plenty of people are out there who are willing to drop a car payment on some kicks, its sad but true. defining an average consumer in the sneaker community cant happen. depends on the individual and the shoe. just like people who paid around 5k for the champ pack. i wouldnt do that, but would i pay around 600 for just the lows? yeah if i had the money. point is 3k for yeezys would hurt more than it would help. thats a fact. anything over 300 isnt helping the consumers who actually want them to keep like myself, its only giving people with money, usually resellers, a better chance to get theirs.
agreed. to be honest the only way to combat resale prices is just flood the market with massive quantities, but Nike would never do that.
they didn't move as easily as u think. Yes, the jaspers sold faster bought dons sat at lv stores for a while and lv destroys product they don't sell which is not something Nike generally does, at least not in the fashion that lv does it
i feel you on this bro. prime example is the 3Lab5's that dropped recently. right at release people were asking for $400+ for a good week and then they realized that 90% of the people that bought the shoe were other resellers. price dropped down to $300 and below real quick.
for the heads up on it!) [sz 8.5 & 9]
the soles brown eventually.As I mentioned in the DB V thread earlier the deal I did for my second pair of Yeezy II Plats:
I traded 2 pairs of deadstock DB V's from Friday's restock (s/o to GrapeApefor the heads up on it!) [sz 8.5 & 9]
For his:
Yeezy Platinum IIs that he had for sale at Flight Club NY [sz: 9]. He met me inside the store and FCNY removed the pair from their floor display.
I have a pair already that's vvnds [sz 9] wore 3-4x.
I thought it was a good trade since it was basically DS Yeezys for $400. Only 2 things would've made it better. 1) .5 size smaller 2) it was solars since I have plats
How far do you guys think I am from a pair of Solars now? Think anyone would do Plats + cash for solars?
If I can't find anyone then at least I'm more comfortable with wearing my initial pair knowing that I have a back up.
I like DB's but Yeezys are my favorite and I think in the long run the Yeezys will hold up better (no yellow soles for starters-- no shots at DB v's, they're beautiful).
Sell the plats, add cash and buy solars.
yeah... im selling cloaks... i bought them on the low and looking to get a little bit out of them. so what? has nothing to do with this. i have 2 pairs of yeezys i got for retail, and theyre still sitting in my room. as for yeezys selling for 3k, yeah people would still buy them, lined up and all, know why? because theyd still resell them stupid. retail goes up, resell goes up. simple math. i pay 3k for some kicks nobody else could get their hands on, i put them on the market for 8k and i make my money in a week. happens with every shoe. if plats retailed for 245 and resell for 3k, then 3k retail would resell for a ton.says the guy selling used penny cloaks
let's say nike releases the Yeezy 3 at a $3K price tag... you think people are going to be lined up on the streets for days with girlfriends/parents/friends in line to scoop up a pair?

yes, due to demand they still may get flipped, but not as much reselling would occur compared to GR prices (amount of people selling, not amount of $$ value)
in conclusion: youre invalid. leave.
Hope they go this route. Keep the kids that don't have funds and try to resell everything away.
