#Sneakers if you're not going for them and you can help with a 10.5 in the Mocha AJ1, that would be great.
Damn Mocha are only $300 is. Probably going to be $250 later next week. That's a shoe I'll buy 5-10 and sit on them for a year. They'll 100% be $500+ in a year.
There's these things called Nuggets, like soft foldable couches for kids. They sell for like $200 but resell for like $600 and up. Don't ask me why. Anyways last week they had a raffle and you entered your email and they sent a text to your cell with a code and you had to enter it within like 2 minutes. People would still find a way to get multiple entries but it would be a pain in the ass.
Is that anecdotal or have there been studies? Maybe it’s a style/size thing, but I always check both and more often than not goat is cheaper for me.
Ask currently for the Mochas in a 10.5 GOAT is 371 and 360 on Stock. Which isn’t that big of a difference. Last sales are 375 and 355 respectively. But , the extra fee on StockX makes the difference in price a moot point. I hope he is right about them dropping $100 in price.
I like searching the used section on GOAT for like new pairs. I know that's not much help on newly released stuff, but I've gotten a couple really good deals that way.
I've never seen a study on it but its almost always the case for me. Goat makes it harder to make a bid rather than using buy now. I don't think you can even make a bid on their website, only on app. My wife bought a pair of Watermelons on there a couple years ago and didn't know you could even make a bid. Stockx makes bids easier so sellers are more willing to just take high offer to move the product.
StockX should drop it’s stupid fees and accept after pay. But, the extra “fuck you” fee and no after pay fucks me.
They offer some type of layaway through Affirm. But let's be honest, if you're paying on layaway, you shouldn't be buying sneakers.
that’s not layaway. But, do you want to do this? Seriously? Do you honestly want to try and shame me about how I buy my shoes? Seriously my dude I don’t think this is what you want to do.
a zero interest payment. So instead of paying all up front pay over four payments with zero down over two months. They send me the shoes right away and I don’t have to pay right away.
Okay. Is this what you want to do? I’ll drop it if you want: I’m just dumbfounded right now. I’ve given you the benefit of the doubt before but is this who you are? Class and race?
Do what? If you want to use a cc, cool. But getting mad at a retailer for not offering credit based on nothing? I don't get that. If you can use a debit card or a cc, don't buy the shoes. I don't see how this is controversial.
I made an off handed remark that wasn’t supposed to be a big deal. You for some reason decided to turn it into a class “don’t buy it you can’t pay cash” issue. I know this isn’t what you want. I’m giving you an out. I’m telling you to just let my throw away statement go. Afterpay isn’t layaway and even if it is who gives a fuck. Don’t be a dick about how someone else buys anything.
Sorry you took offense to me comment but I tand buy it. Afterlay/layaway whatever you want to call it has no business in sneakers. If you can't afford them (not you personally), don't buy them.
you’re a rich white guy. Stop being a pos and acting like your life experience is everyone’s. You try and pretend you’re so enlightened in political threads but then you show your ass here. Politics=class=race.
Wtf? Saying "don't buy shoes you can't afford" isn't a race or class thing. Id love to buy am1 F&F. Paying $15k doesn't fit in my budget. I'm not going to put then on layway.
The fuck? He wasn't being racist. Saying avoid buying stuff if you have to finance it is generally sound financial advice. It's not like he doesn't see people trying to spend too much on housing or anything. Affirm/Afterpay isn't just sneakers, that sort of microfinancing stuff has crept into a lot of other products. Whether it's layaway or 90 days same as cash type of offers, it's usually wise to avoid them and definitely not make it a habit to buy using them. The problem is that companies are making more stuff and selling more at higher prices than people can afford trying to grow their sales. Unfortunately, people get that "have to have stuff they can't afford" thing going to maintain an image and keep up with the Joneses, trying to be something they're not, etc. Also, he's not rich. For example: Matt Ryan is rich from robbing Arthur Blank's wealthy ass. He's just upper middle class.
Why the fuck does anyone care if people make the choice to purchase things how they want to purchase things? Are you mad that people of a perceived lower standing can manage to get the same material status symbol as you? This makes absolutely no sense and feels like a biased attack. I guarantee that a large percentage of sneaker resales go on a credit card that isn’t paid in full every month. It sure sounds like a good option to make zero interest installments with cash vs letting it ride on a card and gathering interest charges. How about cell phones? For the last 5 years this exact installment plan is how almost everyone buys their $1000 phones. Also, layaway is where you go and reserve products and get them once you’ve paid the full balance. This is not the same thing. If you’re going to try and make an argument, at least know wtf you’re referring to. Lastly, dblplay1212 don’t you make a living (a really good one, too) based on people buying really expensive things they absolutely cannot afford for cash and pay enormous front loaded internet fees to have?
Did you just compare a house to shoes? And people can do what they want. I personally think its a bad financial move to use Affirm or a payday cash advance loan to buy sneakers. Its not a hot take to say that.
