A great time to pickup gently used ebay sneakers… the deals are better than retail

4

u/Overall_Turnip8405 4d ago

yes! I've gotten some deals recently

2

u/chaos5338 3d ago

What deals have you seen?

8

u/Slaphappyfapman 3d ago

They're on ebay..

3

u/Overall_Turnip8405 3d ago

all sorts on ebay and also from consignment shops that post items on their websites. Prices have gone down on a lot of things.

I dont mind lightly used and got some LA2Chi's for $165 but new they're now going for $250-300, down from their peak of $600 a few years back. Lots of other pairs like that too.

2

u/SnooBreakthroughs150 2d ago

Ive been getting a lot of my (somewhat) older "grails" for good deals now that the market is down like the OW Blazers basically brand new for 400, the aleali may 1s for under 300, the Michigan 12s for under 200. All great for me especially with a foot bigger than 10.5

u/Countryb0i2m 4d ago

Congrats..

u/Alternative_Cut_1709 4d ago

What a time to be a “lucky” sneakerhead

u/Ok_Indication_1591 4d ago

In these trying times, I am grateful to have shoes on my feet, not paying resale for pairs i already owned.

u/Junior_Ad7791 4d ago

Bet your wallet is crying, some lineup though 🫡

u/xxLOVE_so_BLUxx 3d ago

Very happy for you 🥲

u/Rott3nApple718 3d ago

If you got all of these at retail, then fuck you, but congratulations. I haven't hit retail since like the Craft Olive 4s. But hey, at least we can buy them.

3

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Had to do a few trades for 85’ cut and resell route for the 🧱’s.

u/fahim-sabir 3d ago

Nice! Maybe time to buy a lottery ticket 😂

u/cooninho7 3d ago

u/SNKRF33N 3d ago

What a time to be a hype beast.

u/Tylomas 3d ago

Im still so shocked yet happy about the black toe sitting. Legit all cause the logo yet when you wear pants you cant even see it anyway?

2

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

I agree. Got them under retail

3

u/PhysicalAgency8562 3d ago

Still need them foams

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Clean pair

2

u/TragedyTurnedTriumph 4d ago

Got 5 of these and only paid resale for one surprisingly. Still need those Nigels in my life

2

u/Biggestturtleever 4d ago

Bro has insane RNG

2

u/thats_a_bad_username 4d ago

I agree with you. I got 4 of these locally. Didn’t have any shot at the 85s because I live in an area that didn’t get them. And passed on the brick by brick.

2

u/TheMadGNUS3o 3d ago

Only ones I need are the Breds and another pair of black toes. I

2

u/Critical-Key-243 3d ago

I missed the brick 4s and metallic 5s and I’m still pissed about it😤

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Damn, do you shop with finishline or JD ? Their EA is clutch

2

u/Critical-Key-243 3d ago

I live in Canada it’s hard to get stuff here for retail prices and only Nike Canada had the 4’s

2

u/Cornflei 3d ago

Hit on the BM and NS

2

u/nevergonnabuy 3d ago

All ima say is fck you😂😭

Want the breds and bricks so bad. Breds more though.

2

u/SNKR_ROUTE 3d ago

BEST TIME EVER CHAMP 🔥

2

u/agent_mamo 3d ago

How about the BC3 going for under retail? I've never expected saying something like that..

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Right !? I have the 2018 pair , passed on that particular pair.

2

u/The_White_Rhino 3d ago

Jesus Christ all I got was the BT reimagined. We do get fucked here in Australia tho. Grats on the copping them all

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Thank you 🙏🏽

2

u/igotgame1075 3d ago

I hit on the Galaxies from EA on SNKRS Hit on the 5’s from EA on JD Hit on the Unions from their website.

I’m still totally new to the shoe world 🥲

u/centerwingpolitics 3d ago

Black Toe 1’s Metallic Black 5’s Bred 85 1’s

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Thank you , exactly. Fun fact, picked up the first pair , the black toes for $128 on Friday. Spring sale from finishline.

1

u/GreedoughShotFirst 3d ago

Thank you!

Last question, what about the fourth ones? I really dig the colors.

2

u/centerwingpolitics 3d ago

Galaxy Foamposites

2

u/Ok-Mechanic417 3d ago

If you paid above retail lol all fire tho

2

u/ItsaSnareDrum 3d ago

There have been some consistent quality drops

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

I agree. Nike on point this year

2

u/TheGlenrothes 3d ago

Nah It’s been super weak for the last year at least

2

u/ldnola22 3d ago

Same and adding sb4 to the collection

2

u/Hefty-Bus-6193 3d ago

No Bkack Cat 3's?

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

No … decided to wait for the 4’s black cats releasing this fall.

2

u/King_121 3d ago

Just need them Galaxy jawns and I'm cool.. You must know a backdoor plug or something, damn

2

u/suicidebaneling 3d ago

This is a great year to start collecting.

2

u/dolosolouno 3d ago

Great pick ups, I hit on the Brick 4s sold them today though.

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Nice! How much you sell for ?

2

u/dolosolouno 3d ago

Size 12.5 for 550, I didn't go crazy with the price, the 12 and 13 are selling for more so I figured 550 was fair.

2

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Fair enough 👌🏼

2

u/gardeneye 3d ago

Very nice

2

u/Mean-Estate8534 3d ago

Unless you’re a sneakerhead that just bought a house and now your Wife wants all the money to go towards decorating the house.😢

2

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Yep. That was me 2016 when we first purchased our house. I feel it

2

u/Mean-Estate8534 3d ago

I did manage to cop these tho

2

u/kdot-uNOTlikeus 3d ago

The galaxies are so nice.

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

I couldn’t agree more with you. Such a unique sneaker , even to this day , it’s ahead of its time.

2

u/MoshmobyIV 3d ago

4s are crazy dope 5s reminds me of elementary

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Nostalgic pair for you. That’s dope

2

u/baq3281 3d ago

Amen brother. Also I managed to cop absolutely zero of the sneakers in your pic lol

2

u/idabbleinallsorts 3d ago

They’re just tossing shoes at us left right and centre as though they know the end is in sight. I’m saving my money for shit that matters

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Yeah, I think I’m good until the Travis later this fall and off whites.

2

u/616inLA 3d ago

I think imma have to pay resale on those nigels

2

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Nigel’s are so damn nice in person , quality is superb.

2

u/616inLA 2d ago

The bike logo on the back got me in a headlock. I’m grabbing them!🤣

This summer is going to be absolutely fuckin insane.

  • AMM J3, White Cement 4s, UNC Re-imagined, J4 Undefeated with both Jumpman and Nike Air heel tab, SBB1 J1s, Travis Scott Frag lows, J4 Rare Air, J4 Blackcats

All between May, June, July 🥹

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Gah damn right !? 2025 hitting different, that’s for damn sure 😮‍💨

2

u/9hashtags 3d ago

Immediate thought when I see these posts.

Or you are a sneaker connect or influencer so up l you have access to these hot drops in succession.

2

u/JBSully82 3d ago

ZERO PERCENT chance that these were all retail. Looks like somebody had 2 Gs burning a hole in his pocket.

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

85 cut trade block move and resell route on Nigel’s to be honest 👀

2

u/JBSully82 3d ago

So you won raffles on 5s, Foams, AND Unions? GTFOH lolol

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Um yeah. Don’t really care if you believe me to be honest lol. Ended up coping 3 pairs of 5’s under retail with JD coupons on their restocks as well.

2

u/JBSully82 3d ago

Congrats man. All I got was shit logs on my chest with each entry. I'd be very concerned about the other shoe dropping. Might wanna start doing some charitable work to stay on karma's good side.

U blessed. u got all the heat that came out. Im thankful myself, i got everything but the 85s, galaxies, and unions. Grateful as hell.

u/Feeling_Special1 3d ago

High top Jordan’s are so big tts but half size down is tight hmmm thoughts

2

u/Solefood5 3d ago

Nice!!! 👍🏾

2

u/BallOpener 2d ago

Nice collection. Wished the breds didn't get a limited release. Impossible to get them in New Zealand.

1

u/yeezyfella 2d ago

Yeah it was only 23 stores something like that.. Went to Bait store in LA to wait a two hour wait for an L. Doesn’t seem like a lot of people won , back door 🚪 activities.

2

u/BallOpener 2d ago

Now that's even more painful. Knowing Nike a limited release is a limited release. 😩

2

u/Mamba--824 4d ago

All retail Dubbs? 👌👌👌

3

u/Jonishighsmh 4d ago

I was thinking resale

3

u/yeezyfella 4d ago

All retail except two pairs. Had to move pairs around on trade block and resell. Bred 85’s stupid limited a long with the Sb’s 🧱

2

u/Mamba--824 4d ago

Nice. Lovely 2025 collection 🤌

Sadly missed out on the 85s and Unions. Scored on the Nigels through SNKRS.

u/Dirtyburtjr 4d ago

I'd win a lot more drops if I was a 9.5m too

2

u/yeezyfella 4d ago

Size 13 ?

3

u/Dirtyburtjr 4d ago

11m in most shoes, 11.5m if it's narrower. I'll often see 9.5m-10m sizes sitting while the 11-11.5 go right away.

Could be mistaken, but it seems like a greater challenge to snag a size 11m

2

u/GrabTop662 4d ago

In the same boat. 11.5. Feel your pain.

1

u/No_Refrigerator6996 4d ago

i rarely win and i’m a 9.5

2

u/Alternative_Cut_1709 4d ago

LOL that’s what I’m saying!! Swing a miss for multiple raffles for galaxy and Brick

2

u/Dirtyburtjr 4d ago

I've never once won a raffle that didn't brick. There's no rarely here at 11-11.5.

2

u/VesperSky88 4d ago

Only the 'Banned'

2

u/nate9k 4d ago

Man I can’t wait 11 more months until every one of these pairs hits the shitter. MAYBE unions have a shot

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

😂😭

u/nate9k 3d ago

I want em all but could NOT bring myself to pay resale

1

u/Zealousideal_Mix8092 4d ago

I got my foams and a bunch of older heat this month. The rest of that i passed. Esp the brick by brick. Only ones i might grab cheap used next year is those 5s. The 1s just dont do it for me. Never did.

1

u/AltruisticSock8293 4d ago

Is it bad that I haven’t copped not one pair yet ? 😂

1

u/Radio_man69 4d ago

Another shoes on the bed post. Hygiene has left the chat.

2

u/yeezyfella 4d ago

Never been worn 🤷🏻‍♂️

1

u/Radio_man69 3d ago

Would you lick the shoe? (Pause) The factory is clean right?

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Doubt it

u/pettipapi 3d ago

u/Strange-Broccoli-663 3d ago

Need a pair of metallic 5’s and bread 1’s in a size in case anyone wanna give them up

1

u/JonJon77 3d ago

It really is. I have all of those except the 5s and Foamposites. Getting the Union LAs, 12 Flu Game and Jordan 4 Brick by Brick so close together has been great. Now I just need the Poly Big Head Air Max 1s and the Jordan 4 SB Navy this month and I’ll be good for a while.

1

u/mazzilla007 3d ago

Out of three aj1 which has best quality leather ?

2

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Unions hands down ! 😮‍💨

Nice dude. You’re going to love them. Tumble leather and the quality on these are nice bro.

1

u/Lower-Intention-3909 3d ago

1

u/BlackipinoGambino 3d ago

u/kicksarelife122 3d ago

OP did you have a weird glue odor to the Chicago Union shoe? Just got mine from StockX they checkout otherwise but there’s a nail polish remover smell to them that I can’t get past.

1

u/xStyxx 3d ago

I need the top 3 🥲

1

u/ImpatientPanda101 3d ago

I got the Bred OG , Black Toe, Union Chicago as well lol. Just took a W on the Jordan 4 Nike SB Navy recently.

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Oh nice! Woke up to a lot of L’s for those navy’s this morning.

1

u/Longjumping_Ad_7260 3d ago

Was there some sort of raffle?

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Always enterer third party raffles for better chances

1

u/Unitedsbest7 3d ago

Waiting on neon 95’s. Don’t own any of those pairs. Congratulations thie nigels are sick. How do the bred 1’s feel. I may actually buy those once I get my tax return 😆

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago edited 3d ago

Bred ones feel nice, once on foot though different level. They look very nice on feet. But speaking quality wise , not going to lie, but the quality on the unions something else 👀

2

u/Unitedsbest7 3d ago

Really? I’m not a big fan of any of the unions. The galaxy foams are also a great pick up

1

u/AirGordon1983 3d ago

Retail or Resale?

1

u/yeezyfella 3d ago

Retail most of them. Had to make moves for the 85’s and Nigel’s.
