I resell things all the time and I'm not ashamed of it. It's all about supply and demand. When there's a hot shoe (i.e. Concords or Yeezy's... you get the point) in limited quantities, obviously not everyone will get the pair that they desire. And obviously there are some people that are willing to pay 2x retail.

Bottom line, I only resell because I get all the kicks 40% off via the Nike employee discount. If I was paying retail, I wouldn't resell. All the eBay fees, PayPal fees, and time you invest just isn't worthing making like $80 if you're paying retail, IMO.


Are employee's even supposed to resell -_____________-


Theres no rule that specifies whether we can or can't do it. When you give Nike your money and purchase the shoes, those shoes are now your property and you can do whatever you please with them.

Want to draw dicks on them? Go ahead. Rub them in dog shit? Be my guest.

Once you buy them you have the right to do whatever you want.

if he gets caught im sure he'll lose his job because some shoe stores are so strict that they will either only allow you to use your discount on one pair every month. .they'll only let you hold 1 pair for family or yourself & etc. .

i can't really hate. sometimes i even like them for when i'm too lazy to cop on release date. think of it this way, if there weren't resellers, how would you cop the shoes you really wanted, but couldn't get when they originally released. yeah, you could say resellers buy them all so you never had a chance, but realistically, no. that's your fault for not being quick enough or not having the right connects. oh, you were broke at the time? sucks. you're fault for not saving. they charge a premium for pure laziness imo. honestly, i'd rather pay $250-300 for some $180 shoes that come up to almost $200 anyways after tax. i look at the $50-100 as a convenience fee so i can sleep in my warm bed and not have to worry about wasting 6+ hours in line at a store that only has 50 pairs for a line of 100 plus people. resellers do suck when the shoe is super limited, i'll give them that lol

Resellers are nothing more then evil. I can respect the hustle but I don't like having to pay 150+ ontop of retail when the shoe just released 24 hours ago.
Looking for size 10.5-11.5

Air Jordan XIV Laneys
Air Jordan XVI Cherrywood
Air Jordan XVI Midnight Navy
Air Jordan I Banned
Air Jordan IV Lightning

my opinion on resellers is neutral , I support them if they have reason to resell (bills, gas money nd other things like that) . Its a quick way to make decent money and if thats what you have to do then thats what you have to do . Now heres the part that I dislike about reselling , its killing the game . Prices are getting out of hand .
