pretty simple. why do sellers sell for those prices? because they want money. why will people pay those prices? because they have money.
if you're asking why people think $250 for a pair of shoes is a good deal, well, I guess that means they expected to pay even more. and that just goes back to the original formula of hype plus s&d multiplied by the power of the internet.

Some just don't understand basic economics. You mad people resell? You can't stop demand and you can't stop people from buying the shoes. Don't buy the shoes if you don't like the resell price, or get on your game and get them for retail.
Keep in mind that you're starting a debate over spending maybe a hundred dollars more than retail for something. To some people its not that big a deal, some people have disposable income, some love the product so much that the price doesn't matter.
In the end, you as an individual can't control the way this shoe market works. The only thing you can do I play your part and spend your money wisely.
ok finally some clarity. well put. i really just wanted to shine some light on the people who may be blinded to this truth. i am in no way mad atany reseller because if someone is goin to buy it than ill sell it for as much as i can too.Originally Posted by richiedge
