Blame Seinfeld

I'm not going to complain about resell culture as I'm in on it as well and quite honestly, a lot of us are. We just aren't on the level of other resellers out here.

If you could easily flip something for hundreds of dollars by just putting a label on a box, then you'd do it too and would be lying if you insisted otherwise.....

 

[Mook]

Cacs ruin everything. They ruined weed too, but unless you smoke an ounce a week you won't be able to tell.

 

[The Fade]

They do this with everything we do. Try to price us out of our own cultural nuances

Yeah in college that was how I always made money

Be your on person. Do your own thing.
And there is no problem.
That's what our "culture" was built on.

So whether it was a bunch of kids in school rocking the same Jordans or some white kid hoarding all the Jordans to resell.

That isn't the culture.

 

[Hey_zeus]

Commercialize the culture. Gatekeeping is essential.

It's why I don't get the complaints about sneaker resell culture as it's always been there. More people are just hip to the game now and in on it as well. It's no different than any other side hustle that becomes mainstream and commercialized.

I agree to a certain extent, but extremes can ruin things.

Reselling back then wasnt so bad that you couldn't cop a new pair. But now its on a crazy extreme

Its like the GPU market today or the ps5 market. Reselling got so extreme that many ppl said fukk it ill wait a couple years. Im still delaying my early 2020 build due to extreme scalping and its almost 2022.

I mean we saw this with toilet paper, weights, and even soap during Covid. Not everyone wants to pay a 300% markup

 

[Ya Sinning Mane]

When they started making all these color ways and bright ass country looking shoes

I was out the game
Wasn’t special no more and they looked fake.


My nieces nephews and cousins lucked up and got hella retros for the freeski when I was 22
