Listen man resellers got to greedy and that did people in 2 pairs fine ...there is No good damn reason for someone to go to the mall or outlet and by 10 pairs of the same shoe turn around and sell it to me for triple !! That is B.S . People work, have kids, dont have transportation, to get to the store to barely buy 1... so Now im stuck buying you and me a pair because you wiped out the inventory before i got there?... now you left me no choice but to buy Reps ... thats where things went left .

Yup, resellers ruined the market, then turn around and start pointing fingers saying other people are the problem. Trying to treat what has always been a supplemental source of income as their ONLY source of income so they don't have to work a 9-5. This dude even mentioned using bots on releases which is an even WORSE problem, yet he's supporting it. Get out of here with that shit. I'm glad general release pairs are available for retail, I couldn't care less about resellers not making their buck after they ruined the market.

@@SlightlyM3ntal you must be slow. As I mentioned in the video, reselling was always a side hustle for me, so i never depended on it heavily enough for the existence of bots to have “blown up my spot”.. nonetheless, idk how any of this means I’m supporting people using bots

This is not meant in hate or to cause conflict, but to be as honest as I can...good. I always hated the uprise in reselling. Not just because I couldn't get kicks, but because all these people were ok with kids just botting releases and backdooring just to then mark prices all the way up. That sort of stuff is illegal in many other places, but in the sneaker world it was just seen as all good. So if I want to buy a pair of shoes, I suddenly had to pay some kid who had nothing to do with the making of those shoes, who just ran some bot and fcked everyone else, and now I'm putting cash in his pocket? We were suddenly forced to reward this shady and unethical behavior. I have no problem if shoes genuinely sell out to the public, and we know their popularity and scarcity is more organic. But resellers were literally just stealing all the stock and holding it for ransom. As I said, no hate towards you, but at some point this had to die down.

So yeah I hope it continues to drives prices down. So that young boy or girl can now get themselves a decent pair of shoes and feel good about it.

i'm glad that the margins are lower, because i think it will cause some of the "trendy" resellers to quit. I'm in it for the long haul and also diversifying my inventory into other collectibles beyond sneakers

Very true. Many hours invested, greedy people always try to get the best deal . Is better stick to a shoe collector

Good video. Gotta know when to hold and when to fold. Markets change. Good hustling.

This was good … makes perfect sense much respect fam .

I honestly think there are different types of sneaker resellers. The ones that do not care about you and just want your money. Or the ones that hook you up on better prices, find used deals, and help collect in general. An issue with a lot of resellers is they are stuck up and just disrespectful to buyers.

This a real ass video coming from someone collecting for 2 decades, compared to a 21 y.o who just started reselling cus of youtube, them 10's in the intro ARE COLD!!! We need them steel 10's to retro again.

Honestly resellers fucked up the sneaker game... Can't even get a pair of Jordan 4's without having to pay $300+ depending on the style or colab etc... Especially when it only cost China less than 30 dollars to make them... Ppl just need to go back to wearing regular unhyped shoes and leave all these resellers stuck with stupid amounts of shoes THEY don't even want or need...

Yo for a minute there I thought I was watching Katt Williams talking about Sneakers 😂😂😂

I’m interested in hearing about the knowledge that you have. Things that you have learned & your experiences.

This is why I don't by Nike anymore not for that last 4 years not one pair!!!! All I buy is converse and vans and OMGGG they are comfy and stylish. What more could I ask for, also getting into boots 🙌they kinda growing on me.

Sounds like what happened to me as a owner operator in the trucking industry.

Does anyone know where I can buy the Jordan 5 olives that come out on March? Appreciate the help

can you make a sneaker review on the lucky green retro 5s they goin for 20 bands

Sneakers at retail are the way it should always be. I buy for keeps, so I have a hard time giving some resellers the satisfaction. You get a good feel for character pretty quickly, though. I have other means for making money, but i know not every one does. We do what we can.

Always a sneaker head never became a seller even when I hit on multiple pair of heated I either sell them for retail or send them back

most shoe stores are also resale shops lol theres no difference, unless you are talking strictly about retail stores.

The pandemic was a gift and a curse for resellers . It made then a lot of money but also shed more light on the replica market. Prices were getting outrageous and you could never cop for retail . Hence the evil twin market was pushed more into the mainstream and now is more accepted more then ever .

Replicas got popular because resellers started flipping shit for ridiculous prices. If they weren't trying to double or triple their profits the market wouldn't have gotten as out of control as it did. I don't buy reps, but if you're getting mad at people buying reps instead of your overpriced legit pairs you should probably look inwards. Drop your prices and you'll still move product. "But it's not worth it if I'm not making $XXX" It's called a SIDE hustle for a reason. Work a legit job and move sneakers on the side. It should never have become a sole source of income unless you've got a brick and mortar location.

I agree on the day to day reselling but I found my niche in holding pairs it’s a gamble but for the most part I wait till a hype release like a good Jordan 4 or something good and just try and buy as many pairs as I can locally and hold em for a while and I know people say it’s not worth it but in a larger scale it is if I f I hold 100 pairs for a year and make a profit of let’s say $100 on each pair sometimes it’s less and sometimes it can be more that’s a huge profit

During the pandemic most people did not have money to spend. Maybe your customers did, but not the public at large

Facts bro

I love it cause I’m not a reseller and now I can actually buy the shoes I want. I feel like the consumers are equally responsible for ruining the game cause they made the decision to pay the high resale for shoes that were $110 when they dropped.

Finally someone that gets it

At some point Nike will reduce their releases on certain sneakers, because they will not continue to see their inventory sit in stores and then start reducing the prices. When and if this happens people will regret Boohooing about too many releases because Nike will return to limiting what’s released on certain sneakers. This brother is correct on NEW resellers no offense, get your hustle on. For me I keep a certain amount in my inventory, if you have the capital to do so. Great video my brother, you’re spitting straight facts on all levels.

I think that not everyone that sells their sneakers is considered a sneaker resseller i feel like you're a man with sneakers that feels like you're gonna end up selling items in the future that you just dont need. And thats okay and shiddd i need money too so everyone should understand that cause they broke ahh need money too. 😂 the higher retail is whats killing that resale people kept taking advantage of price gouging and nike took note and also heard the fans ask to combat the resale being that its 5 or 6 times more then retail. They saw that even grs could cost because of the inflated prices from ressellers. In all honesty buying these shoes to make money off it wasnt really the point in the first place not being fake just blunt much love i dont think you're a resseller i think you are an OG that really takes notes. These new kids on the block just think they should make more then you off the shoes that YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF too entitled to even sell anything

Personally I hated resellers but Nike does this on purpose. If Nike wanted too they would just make millions of Travis’s and other super hype shoes and sell out until people realize the market is flooded. Personally I agree with you that reselling isn’t worth it but that’s just me. I try to hit when I can and I rarely pay resale. A lot of the time I’ll buy used shoes that are extremely lightly worn for 50% off.

Sneakers be dead for 3 years or so... there will be the 2 shoes a month that will be easily profitable. Market shifted..gotta compete w/ stanley, taylor swift tickets, cards, and brick flips.

Sell to local shops and build up a network of people who trust you.

Imagine vouching for using a bot and complaining people are blowing up your spot or you can't make as much profit. If you're picking up full size runs of shoes at retail and selling them for 2-3x the cost for profit, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. I'm glad reselling is dying, personally.
