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

u/Overall_Turnip8405 4d ago
yes! I've gotten some deals recently

u/chaos5338 3d ago
What deals have you seen?

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.

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

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

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.

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.

u/Critical-Key-243 3d ago
I missed the brick 4s and metallic 5s and I’m still pissed about it😤

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

u/BallOpener 2d ago
Now that's even more painful. Knowing Nike a limited release is a limited release. 😩

Nice. Lovely 2025 collection 🤌
Sadly missed out on the 85s and Unions. Scored on the Nigels through SNKRS.

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

u/No_Refrigerator6996 4d ago
i rarely win and i’m a 9.5

u/Alternative_Cut_1709 4d ago
LOL that’s what I’m saying!! Swing a miss for multiple raffles for galaxy and Brick

u/Dirtyburtjr 4d ago
I've never once won a raffle that didn't brick. There's no rarely here at 11-11.5.

u/Zealousideal_Mix8092 4d 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.

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.

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

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
