I'm sorry... how much are those shoes again??

[Mr Invisible]

I choke at the thought of spending more than $120 on a paid of shoes, and yet here we have a set of shoes, that work out just under $52,000 AUD !!!

How the frig are shoes worth that much (genuine question)???

 

[Indiandog]

mate, believe it or not , some kids have become millionaires by just simply buying and selling shoes.

My cousins 15 year old son is into it big time and he wants to do this for living. He went to USA recently just to buy the latest Michael Jordon shoes for $2500 USD and he said he got it cheap including the airfare.

He reckon in few years he can sell it for 4 times its buy price.

At the moment I only see him spending his parents money on shoes. I think in few years time he will find kids like him and he will sell it to them for a higher price and then those kids will sell it some other dumb kids few years from there and the cycle will continue on.

 

[DoggiesBoy]

wtf, some people do have more money than sense.

Now you understand why our parents didn't want us having too much money as kids.

It’s freaky..when I read this it reminded me of an Episode of Pawn Stars..you ever seen that show? Well this guy had shelves of sports shoes..Air Jordan’s from the first ones made to the most recent..all other types of shoes and brands too..when I saw it..and the value they gave to the collection..I thought WTF? Now you say this..it’s understandable why they collect em.. But sheesh I wanna a shoe I can wear not look at..

Ps..one advantage of not being able to walk..your shoes don’t wear out..they last for freaking ages!!

lol , sounds like a wheeler n dealer , convincing his parents and spending their money on a pair of shoes that nobody can predict will be worth a cent in 4 years time.

You would be surprised how many thousands of people like him are out there with a lot of cash in the first world countries.

Tbh I shouldn't be surprised by the lure of making money as a teenager I was one of those teenagers in a way ,Used to be given $40 a week from 15 . I had a part time job from year 9 and getting something like $50 -$60 a week and my mum tried to encourage me to save it by upping my pocket but instead of spending the pocket money I got obsessed with watching my bank balance grow by the time I was 17 I had $4000 in my bank and bought a $2000 car .
I'm poor now though lol

I've heard stories about this. When a new limited edition shoe is released they line up at midnight and set up bots online. Buy the shoes for $500 and sell the for $5000.

It’s got a lot to do with black culture. THey will buy anything for a stupid amount of money and go into debt to just make a rap song about it about how they came from nothing to being waist deep into debt and then blame whites for having debt to pay off.

i dont understand why its a black culture thing? maybe you are racist because white people are definitely into buying overpriced things to prove that they can, for example anybody who owns a ferrari or some expensive shitty art
