IF ONE WAS TO STRIKE OUT ON NDC WHAT ARE YOUR BACK UP PLANS ?
Yes. It would be a genius marketing plan in Nike's "evil dictator" sort of way, which is what makes me think it's possible.Originally Posted by DJ Proto J

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.
if that 1000 on NDC number is indeed correct then i am with you on this... the market is gonna be flooded come saturday night and the days/weeks following... the majority of these are being bought only to resell... pairs have been selling for over $2K, and many will after they drop, and people putting their pairs up for sale see that and want to sell for that much too, but the market will be flooded and the number of people willing to spend that much will drop, and then so will the prices (cuz a lot of these resellers don't have enough money to have that much tied up in these for too long)... if 70% of the ones bought for box price are being bought to resell (very likely), then they have plenty of wiggle room to come down once the market's flooded and people aren't still cranking out over $2K. that's when deals for $1000 will be seen and had.
that scenario will indeed screw the people who bought for over $1,500 and are still trying to profit.
for awhile there i didn't think so, i thought these would end up in the $3K range, but if there's only 3000 each colorway worldwide, and NDC does drop 1000 pairs each color for box price, not to mention the other spots around the world who've sold for reasonable prices (anything under $1000 is reasonable on these i'd say at this point), then good luck getting as much profit off these as you thought you were...
these are super hype right now, and cats are in panic mode and dropping over $2K for 'em, and these bottom feeder resellers see that and see dollar signs in their eyes... they want to cash out and sell them for over $2K too... but just because they've been going for that doesn't mean that will keep up. it NEVER does... the market gets flooded and it comes down.
will not surprise me if that cat who was trying to "hook me up" at $2,800 ends up coming back to me in a few days willing to come down much, much lower...
funny thing is, he tried to tell me the market won't be flooded...
son, i'll go as far to say that at least 70% of these are being bought only to resell, not to wear.
the market is definitely gonna be flooded.
Whether or not doubted a ndc release is irrelevant to this, nobody knew anything and even the biggest blog couldn't confirm. it was all rumors and speculation like with house of hoops receiving pairs or not.Originally Posted by titanium intellect
If I recall correctly, you were one of the peeps that highly doubted an NDC release too... so laugh all you want... Modern Notoriety has confirmed Yeezys for the September opening on the Chicago Nike Store. Boutiques are getting more than expected. This release will have numbers that will bring the price down... people are happy to pay what they must. However with soooo many resellers and so few real sneakerheads purchasing... ebay will be flooded... I was right about NDC...Originally Posted by 18th letter

@ the idea that these will drop for anything below 1000 @ ebay prices.
You might be able to get lucky on an auction, but they won't drop below a stack because people will be happy to pay that and not get 'raped' for 2 gs
anyways the hype is a damn real. i don't ever in my years of being on NT remember a thread moving this fast between the hours of 2am-11am

I have to agree with Proto on this. Many people still have hope of a hookup, raffle, or NDC score. Once that passes, 1500 will be a good price for these and hard to find. It doesn't matter whether or not I agree with it, it's just likely to occur. DS or DNDS Dons go for 2000, Yeezy 1 Blinks go for 2200. Of course there will always be insane ebay auctions asking for more, but I think these will still be going for 1700 to 2500 in the Fall easily.Originally Posted by rayray3thousand

it's simple economics...
right now there are more buyers (demand) than sellers (supply) = high prices
once the price hikes, there will be less buyers (demand) and TONS more sellers (supply) = price decrease
Proto I know you are claiming these won't hit below $1K but I have to disagree. I think like they will peak, drop, and steadily creep back up again. Highest prices are now $1k-2k range, I think they will drop to the $500-600 range (which is still nuts), and then steadily go back up again (like the yeezy one).
again, just my opinion... but an educated one at that

only difference i see is M&P shops have caught up & made it harder for resellers to make profit by jacking up the price.
its funny because i still got pms asking "where can i get them for $1200?"
You missed my point, try and read.M&P shops are trying to cut out the resellers (intentionally or unintentionally) but here come the resellers paying the high markups only to turn around and flipped them for more, by the time they reach the hands of someone who actually want them, they've gone through about 3 damb resellers....if resellers took the L on this one and let dudes cop for 1200$ that's where the value will stay..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?
