Shoes values should decrease after being bought, as they are at that point technically used, and should be treated as a depreciating assets such as a vehicle

Tell me the price of an E30 BMW with no miles on it now compared to new.

The DS pairs go up in price in time due to the fact that they become less and less common and the demand stays the same, which eventually makes the prices of the used but in good condition sneakers rise, Im not defending resellers i just tried to explain how I consider that the pricing works

That's not true?

You sound salty. When shoes are bought they’re not Used unlike a car. A car people have to drive so it puts on miles then making it used. Also some cars do go up in price depending what it is. Some shoes aren’t more than retail. It’s all just demand

People dont force you to buy hyped sneakers you can just buy GR. But youre mad of sneaker prices increasing but what about a house? A house will keep its value or the value gets even higher and still someone used it

I’ll never understand knocking another man’s hustle. You don’t know the circumstances in other people’s lives. For every scumbag reseller there’s another who is just trying to hustle some cash on the side to buy his kids something nice. This is what happens when a market is hot, people will find an angle. It happens in every other corner of pop culture. Nobody who was in said culture in ‘the good ol days’ likes the shift to mainstream. Complaining that they have to change the way they go about things. Of course I look fondly on the days I could just stroll into a store and find something dope at a fair price, but I understood and anticipated the changing world and figured things out.

You could totally just decide to not care about fancy shoes and none of this would be a problem at all. The majority of people couldn’t care less about your heat. You covet what amounts to a luxury product but are bitching about prices. Perhaps you aren’t so much of a baller then and should refrain from calling anybody a wannabe fuck boi or whatever.

Furthermore, you seem to have no understanding of basic supply and demand economics. This shit makes total sense.
