Who's really at fault?
So there was this scenario where a guy wanted to sell his pair of Jordans for around 400 ringgit above the retail he paid. Comments came after and actually became more of a debate of who's the bigger man. People started pointing fingers and actually backtracking to previous sales, playing the blame game practically. Here's my opinion on it.
I learn that without demand, there would not be a supply, period. No matter how expensive shoes get, consumers or collectors for that matter will continue purchasing. I do purchase my stuffs occasionally from resellers if I missed out on a release or I fail to obtain a pair due to the balloting system. Okay coming back to that scenario. The question here is, is it the seller's fault for selling it at such a hefty price because he sees others doing it? Or is it the other sellers fault for making him look bad just because he got a pair to sell whereas the others couldn't get? My answer would be both sides have a part in this.
In the first place, if the sale actually goes through at that value is because of the customer that agreed to pay in the first place. Meaning the seller has succeeded to let that shoe go at that value and its now staying at that value. If no sale goes through for that price, there wouldn't be a need for other sellers to be salty now would they? There's not much else to say but if you don't like it, don't buy it. Buy what you like, forget the hype. And if you can't accept the price? Educate yourself on the next release. Be resourceful with the internet. Find ways to obtain a pair at its retail if you refuse to pay the extra buck. You be doing yourself so much good instead on creating a beef and making yourself look childish. Over what? A pair of shoe. Move on. There's no need to sulk and say why how where and when. You can always wait.Shoes aren't built to last and hype doesn't stay for long.
Its true that the sneakergame has changed, but for better or worse?
