Kinda wild how FC more or less sets market value
laugh.gif


also Vidal was just the face of FC, they needed a well known ""sneakerhead"" to appeal to the masses....

same as Dave from DQM....
 
I'm not that knowledgeable about AMs, but a lot of them do intrigue me. You guys have a great thing going with this thread; 3 years is very impressive.

A friend of mine iD'ed some AM1s, and I'm anticipating seeing what the quality is like on them. Hopefully I can iD a pair in the near future.

I remember in another thread somewhere someone was grumbling because buyers were getting the prices off of PYS.com and those were prices without the inflatedvalues, in other words lowballing. But for most buyers who don't spend time on ebay they will get their prices off of consignment sites.

I hate how when you place an order thru them they don't automatically disappear. Multiple ppl could be going to bed extreamly excited and waking up extreamly upset. Damn you FC lets update your system

Even though their prices seem high, people will pay the $. With the experience and knowledge those guys have, their prices they set along with the seller, are most of the time based on the past history and the current market. Overall, FC sets the main price standards for mostly all shoes which then leads to eBay prices and so on. What other company offers such a service for resellers and is so widely known? Nothing. Like I said before. Chris Vidal is a genius...
Service for resellers??????
I'm sorry but anyone who messes with shoes just to resell is a scumbag. They drive up prices by limiting availability, period.
You say "resellers" like they're someone I should give a @%!% about.

FC, again, has no bearing on market value.
Only Supply & Demand do. The average of transactions is market value, not the fluke transactions that take place, wether it be at stupid high or stupidlow prices.

The two posts at the bottom of the last page are perfect examples of why you're completely wrong in your thinking.
 
My TAF ids are at my dads gonna grab them on Tuesday. Headed to bed figured I'd bump off the second page so the eastcoasters don't gotta search for thethread, should be page 1 anyways.

I think mine should be coming in today.....
 
^pics upon arrival please
smile.gif


oh and i dunno if i agree that resellers are the 100% at fault. look at the ebay auction posted a few pages back of those obsidian am1s, it was an auction thatended at $340. i think when ple see buyers willing to pay this much they automatically juice up the prices. oh well, no one will ever be satisfied when itcomes to reseller talk lol.
 
Good morning (PST) everybody...........

"Jordam 90" ID comin' in soon due to the tracking info, not really excited about these for some reason, idk.

"AMJ" ID hopefully after that.

I want to make another Ultramarine Hua Light ID, I've seen the Marina Blue swatch, but want to see it on a shoe, cuz I know a ton of them were made, haha,only if I somehow could've copyright that design, haha.

Anywho, for today:



Cris.
 
Crisuno- you're not much of a 90 guy are you? I think that's why you're not excited.
I love how 90s look on other people but I can't do them. I have wide foot
smh.gif
 
^ Yeah, but no, idk, haha, we'll see how they turn out.........

I only have 3 in my collection really....Bacons, Infra's, & Escapes.

I was ALMOST close to doing a collection pic last night, the wife & kids were gone, but when it was time, I had topick up my parents at the airport
mad.gif


Cris.
 
having a hell of a time deciding on my next pair.

embarassed.gif

right now im leaning towards the top right corner 90's.

eyes.gif



.
 
Man hard to keep up in here.... I think flight club prices are ok for flight club.... I wouldn't pay nomore then 350 for a pair of bacons maybe 400.... Alot of people forget that flight club gets 20% of each sell...so 500 minus the 20% comes out to about 400....and also keep in mind if you buy something fromthem you are also paying a little extra to make sure,your product is legit and you are actually gonna recive the product.....again a can get way better dealson ebay ,but it also does not guaranty you get the product or if its legit... I don't cop from there enless I really have to .... But it is a shame thatpeople do set there prices off of fc....
