Why would I know an exact number nikka? Sneaker reselling is billion dollar industry. Plenty of young nikkas have caked up through reselling sneakers.

This shyt aint new nikka, maybe you just not into that stuff like that but its no secret tons of muthfukkas buying lots of pairs of J's each release and reselling them. They might keep a pair for themselves and sell the rest, which is what I used to do when I was into sneakers a lot.

You act like its just a few people but it's a lot. I dont have an exact number and I dont see why you would think anyone would know an exact number of how many sneaker resellers there are out there. If you're into that kinda shyt you'd know what goes on.

Ya'll keep throwing out phrases like "tons" and "plenty of young nikkas" but when I ask for specifics all of a sudden nobody knows :francis:

And please point to where I asked for an exact number.

Than what the fukk do you want? Somebody already posted 130,000 resold sneakers last year, and it's a billion dollar industry thats fact. it's not a handful of nikkas buying new Jordans to resell, a lot of people do it. Even if not as a full time thing, they do it to cover the costs of the shoes they keep for themselves. If you dont wanna accept that than whatever nikka:mjlol:

Just because you can't afford it or don't want to pay that price doesn't mean the next man feels the same way. If you can charge $200 for something, and there are people willing to buy it at that price that's all that matters. People are trying to make money not run a charity. It's a luxury item, if you have a problem with pricing go buy some cheaper clippers and KIM.
my signature fade with the bevel blade, that's a major key :ahh:



you idiots only question blacks on shyt like this. if you cant afford it get your money up or keep it pushin.


A whole lot of broke dudes exposing themselves in this thread :scust:

Breh, you already said you don't know how many people are reselling. You're just embarrassing yourself at this point :francis:

I have yet to see an explanation as to why these trimmers are 3x the price of the leading trimmers on the market.

The same reason a Benz S-Class cost three times as much as a Corolla.

It's a luxury item that some people are willing to pay a premium to have. It's not that complicated.

that price is ridiculous, but knowing this site Nas stans will flock in here and justify the price

then you got the overcompensating "buy black" nikkas who are gonna question your blackness because your not gung-ho about it

Been messing with Bevel since 2014, so when they sent out the pre-order email about the trimmer, I was down.

Got mine a couple weeks back, and the design is dope. They did a nice job with how they built it. I usually use the Andis line, but those get hot after you use them for awhile. The Bevel has a great design, but they're not as sharp as advertised. My barber has one too, and he's not seeing the results you get with a regular Andis trimmer either. The shaving line is really where Bevel is strong. The trimmer kinda needs to be modified to really get your line tight.

Anybody who has bought a pair of liners know they require some modification to get it to its maximum capabilities (zero gap) which requires you unscrew the blade and have some bladesetter to get it perfectly zero-gapped..the bevel trimmer allows you to do it all in house. The blade on it repels oils which would otherwise ruin the finish on the blade over time..it has coordless capabilities. Why is it double the price of competitors: andis t-outliners, gtx, wahl, etc? Because none of those trimmers have those features, its literally the most innovative liner on the market

Furthermore its shameless that you @Black Reign are attaching Nas' name to the price and spreading false information in this thread, he isnt the damn "part owner" of Bevel he's a brand ambassador, he's got nothing to do with the price. In stores this holiday season and I will be copping two pairs to support black business :umad:

These clippers are clearly geared towards barbers, not regular folks.... a barber could make his money back in a matter of 4-5 hours for what he paid for a pair of likely overpriced clippers.

Some of y'all need to realize that just because you have the ability to buy something, it doesn't mean that it's for you.

I'm willing to bet that at least 5 out of 50 nikkaS buying Jordan's are to resale to later for profit. Don't sit here and act like MOST nikkaS are buying them damn shoes so they can resell them later.

:stopitslime:
Oh they are. Do the knowledge on it. Lol... But y'all got it

Its a whole shaving kit, and that main razor looks expensive. Hopefully you're paying for the quality.
