This is the problem... A shoe can realistically be valued at reasonable prices... But once dudes bump their head and say "hey, let me list em at double what they're normally going for", and other sellers see that, and do the same... It ***** it up for everyone because all sellers will start doing that.Prelude 1 prices are sky rocketing! Lmao I checked eBay and its looking 800 plus can't beleive 600 is considered some what a deal now...
Prelude 1's have increased heavily in prices due to quantity & it being argued as the best in the pack. Its about $1000 now.
I have witnessed 4 pairs in sizes 11-12 on eBay/Social media sites go for 825-930 shipped these last two weeks. Two weeks before that going rate was 650.
I have also talked to friends that are resellers & all have said the shoe is worth around 1k now on the open market based on their findings/sales.
It's unfortunate, but with people actually paying the prices & how utterly limited each model was, the prices will not be climbing down at any point.
It's similar to the Yeezy 2's. If a DS Solar 2 gets placed on eBay by a legit seller for $2.9k, it will be sold in half an hour & that's the low end price for a DS pair.
PO
Instead of the old days when sellers would flip a few pairs to pay for a personal pair, or a pair they wanted that was out of reach pricewise, dudes are paying mortgage and car payments. This whole culture is mostly ran by greed these days. Very few actually care or look out to preserve the culture.
I'm no OG in this compares to a lot of dudes, but I've been around long enough to know everything is beyond ****** up.
