How a Consignment Shop Scammed Me Out of 1500 dollars and Why You Should Not Support Them Period

If you know me you know how much I love sneakers and streetwear. You touch my J’s or my Yeezy’s and you know we are going to have a problem. Currently the trend in streetwear is more designers working with each other on “collabs”. I think it’s great that there are so many collaborations between brands because it disrupts the way we look at fashion. It is an interesting notion that there are going to be limited quantities of a certain product so if you cop something it will feel special because only a few others would have it. Though subsequently these “collabs” become collectable and expensive due to being low in quantity to drive demand. Often resell markets have sneakers for 2–20 times the actual price. For example a simple pair of Chicago Jordan 1’s will retail for the standard $130, but since it’s a special release the resell market has them for as high as $900. And that would be considered a well known sneaker whether you like sneakers or not. Some of the more obscure releases can resell for up to 30 times its original retail price. <a href="https://medium.com/@karanaggarwal_28304/how-a-consignment-shop-scammed-me-out-of-1500-dollars-and-why-you-should-not-support-them-period-ccf04e1a6316">Website</a>
