I didn't keep up with 21 mercer black pair RSVP. Did most of the people that got reserved a pair get at the same time (like 12:21 with platinum) or was it spread out more?

Appreciated but not mad even. I knew I was taking a risk. I weighed it out. it's similar to taking taking risks in business sometimes you have to be willing to take it to get ahead and sometimes it burns you. I got burned plain and simple. Like I said lesson learned on here. Should have went with my gut instead

honestly tho i don't even know why he was banned..he wasnt trying to sell the info on the thread. if i remember correctly someone else put him on blast for charging $100. my guess is that they hit him up and he said he wouldn't come off it unless he got $100. the only time i saw him post about charging $100 for the info was when he was defending himself against people for bashing him about doing it. imo if i had solid info that would def give me a leg up on my competitors i wouldn't come off it either unless i was paid. but at the same time i would've honestly just kept it to myself regardless.

OMG look at the comments.... I always hate reading sneaker articles on sites like this or huffington post, etc. Basically sites frequented by older white people. they ALWAYS manage to say some racist shoot about black people,welfare, obama, etc. and prove how out of touch they are with society as a whole.
Get at the sneakerheads for wanting to pay 1000 for a pair of shoes, but at the same time buying 2000 dollar penny loafers and other types of stupid, trivial clothing (1500$ sandles, word?)......see the hypocrisy?

were you able to get his phone number at all?
i still feel like dude is legit because i definitely remember the last release and he had info and ppl bought the info from him and used it to get their pairs.
i understand why he was banned but it probably made it less likely that he'll reach out to those he was trying to do business with. you can pm if you're banned according to someone that posted earlier but who would think to? i've never been banned on NT so i wouldn't even think to pm ppl. i'd either wait my time out before coming back or leave altogether.
hopefully he realizes that he can still pm.

I don't think I can take this anymore. Every time I see a new tweet from NDC I almost have a heart attack.

Carson Daly was talking about the $90,000 eBay sale on his radio show.
I COULD see Nike sending out 18 pairs to most boutiques and having a decent sized stock for themselves. They're feeding into the "limited hype" but not doing it themselves. Boutiques make a huge deal out of the 18 pairs they have with the raffles and $2000 price tags - they make the news, make the hype - then Nike tweets a link and actually posts a good amount of them. Even if they had a lot, they'd still probably sell out quick and we'd never even know they pulled a trick like that.
Until eBay gets flooded with them and the resellers (and guys who shelled out a grand) are screwed. And it wouldn't be Nike's fault per se - people are really doing all of this based on unsubstatiated rumors.

Take this with a grain of salt fams, I detest the reseller game, but let's be honest, it's part of the culture now, nothing we can do about it, except not buy....so whatever, they are making their money and it's not illegal....now when a 1000$ offer on a pair of sneakers retailed at 250$ Is a laughable one, that's something else, since when is 700$ profit not enough?...must we be that greedy Fams?...what's the point of paying a rape price on a pair of sneakers to try and profit furthermore from them?...IMO if you pay 1k you are doing it to keep the shoe, by paying 1k and then doing it to cake on top of that you are ruining it for the rest of the team, you are driving the ridiculous mark up on these even more, because now you want 2k in order to profit some....then the next fool is gonna buy from you to try and resell for even more?...where does it end??...at what point does it reach the hands of the real dudes who been doing this sneaker thing since before some of you were even in pre-school??...c'mon man..

Agreed. They're either bashing the minorities or turning it into a political argument...

Damn by the time I attempt to get one. Someone will have 2-3 pairs by themselves. 1st yeezy release I didn't stand a chance. I swear they showed out of stock to me the whole time while some people were putting in orders
