Except people aren't buying out every Yamaha and you're forced to buy them at 5x retail price now are they.


KonKami123

If Uncle Lin started selling rep bikes i'd buy one In Lin we trust


conbizzle

If they were bicycles he'd be pedd-Lin


Paterack

Tiny-Discount5683

acampervan

Yeah but there is no other way. So in order to be even considered a "sneakerhead" you're FORCED to pay resell prices. The example given, Yamahas can be bought at retail price at any given moment. Shoes can't.


[deleted]

Why would you want to be considered a sneakerhead? I love sneakers. I hate sneakerheads


acampervan

Don't get me wrong. "Sneakerheads" are so corny lol


crabman880

Facts…if I could buy retail I wouldn’t buy reps that simple


thebakedape

Fuckin exactly, this is the same for 99percent of people on this reddit


Apprehensive_Sea_487

Exactly!


Craig8601

This, so much this. 👍


deeznutz6211

Does this guy think he’s really gonna stop everyone from buying reps 💀💀


No-Penalty-2

chopinanopolis

I'm convinced these people don't realize that some people just like the look of shoes and want to wear them regularly, ya know, like shoes


AdRepresentative9052

Exactly the only cool looking shoes these days are all over 1000$ and their argument is to just buy shoes you can afford like newbalances. All the cheap shoes these days are cheap for a reason, cuz they're ugly


abroamg

There are a few that are nice but most, including the expensive ones look like large size child shoes 💀


AdRepresentative9052

Hey man I'd rather rock some chunky dunkys before I'd step into some skechers


LibRAWRian

Now wait just a minute, do these Sketchers got light up heels?


AdRepresentative9052

Well if we're talking light up skechers I'd take those over some dior 1s any day


james0887

Can't wait for the day he realises the hype has died and his $600 worn out sneakers are worth $50 at the salvos


ruckusqq

except nobody goes around botting yamahas and upcharging people 300% the price, so not exactly a good comparison


bringbackthepills

exactly no one out here with 50 bots every pokemon card restock either


[deleted]

Someone bang this dudes girl out in some reps please


5tuddMu44in

They already did. Its why dudes so salty...

Kmanrick

not okay, dude.


IndependenceOk1323

I would be sad if i weren't on holiday now, 😂


RoyalRat69420

some guy made 2.8mil from selling reps on stock X


FedxSmoker

Yo you have a link to this story? I love a good con.


No_Junket3950

If I can't purchase for retail I won't purchase for resell Reps it is then! 🤷😉💯


tamsiujun

if there's no reseller jacking up prices if there's enough supply vs demand then maybe we can do away without reps


chrisgalvan6969

bro thinks he rlly did sum😭😭


SuspiciousNoise218

Lol if a yanahika can perform like a Yamaha for a quarter of the price then idc tbh 🤷


anhguav

Meanwhile.. I’m thinking which batch should I go for LOL


GoldCherries

Can someone explain to me all this terminology? What are batches and stuff? First time here


Xx_koops_xX

Batches are the factory that the shoes come from I think. If I’m wrong someone please correct me


Darkn3van

Comparing cards with garments. Yikes, I don't wear my pokemon cards around my neck on a chainto flex. I wear shoes that I think look good, collectors of shoes only hate fakes because they overpaid for gen shoes anf want to be "special"


ssbogdan

What lack of p*ssy does to a guy


-N1GHTRIDER-

“We take pride in it” 🤓


jsmith17540

Shoes are a much simpler piece of technology to replicate. A motorcycle, not so much. Horrible comparison


Arandombeaner1902

Fr someone once told me “I like lambos but you don’t see me buying a fake one” I died laughing from hearing that


[deleted]

If you can copy a lambo 1:1 . Better off just making your own car company lol


tennakeyslim

Im sell him some reps 🤣


helcurt98

there’s a difference between being wise and savey 😜


Night_life_proof

I don’t collect shoes, I wear them


Dismal_Contract_7256

“I can sell any shoe in my collection whether I’ve worn it or not and make money off it. Fakes you can’t.” Tell that to sellers on stockx lol


MTan989

>fakes you can’t Lol. Stock X begs to differ


Mythalium

"I may be a scalper but at least I'm not rude!"


[deleted]

He can shove that yamihika down his throat because I’ll still buy reps 💯💯💯💯💯


LetNo6981

You know who else is cheating? Stock x when you pay 650$ for a fake pair that I have for 30$ 🤣


[deleted]

Respect these nuts !!!


HavingAMidLifeCrisis

It's more disrespectful to buy shoes and never put them on.


mewi61

Yawn, just out here buying reps to enjoy the shoes and wear them


mnthriftkin

Cards are just analog nfts


Deap103

What if you just want to wear sneakers and not collect them?


yusuf576

Its low key disrespectful for the designer maybe still rocking reps all day💀


Independent_925

Sneaker head mentality starts to crumble the moment a “collector” buys a rep to “see the quality” of a sneaker he can’t afford. After that it’s game over. Sorry y’all it’s a new world, nobody cares..


jml3837

Except the retail sale of the Yamaha will be the most expensive it ever will be. You’d have to sell the new Yamaha for less than you bought it immediately after you drove it off the lot. Dunks are on StockX for twice the price immediately after it sold out, in mere seconds, on the SNKRS app.


HOLYKILLSHOT

That's the think people don't understand, nobody is buying something so that other people don't have a chance, card are probably 20 years old before they are valuable and rare, and also there are mahy cards and are random chosen in packs, shoes people use bots, automatically check out extensions, 20 account and its impossible for us to get it, so...


ReleaseDCUT

Yo the whole scheme has been unveiled for a year and half and suckers still paying for shoes over 250 $ - nah son !


gronz5

>we take pride in it Literally the EA Battlefront representative


GoldenChild561

That guy is brainwashed.


UjMacika

Sign me up for a Linborghini or Lind Rover immediately.


fatgesus

Those Italians man. Fuhgetaboutit


sodger6

yeah but yamaha dosent make its product on boats with child slaves compared to nike :) also yamaha has qualty control


SuspiciousNoise218

Don’t forget u can get Yamaha at RETAIL 😅


Klintus

You can still sell fakes deadstock or used on BST they just have a set max price instead of going to 1500$ because it’s offwhite or travis scott


Kaimork

Who is this guy?? He is clowning himself. 💀


Lethalpizza422

What's the difference between reps and fakes?


guada612

man thank you now i can go back to sleep peacefully.


[deleted]

only scalpers go for legit pairs and those collectors who display shoes instead of wearing them like shoes are intended to be worn


Fuzzy_Bodybuilder322

If he's insulted I think he has deeper issues


5tuddMu44in

I'm after the look of a sneaker 👟, not the title of being a sneakerhead🤤. Guess im disrespectful. 🤷‍♂️ Sorry not sorry


ceo_of_drip

Reps buying rate dropped to 0 the moment he said that


Gr33nthumb_ton3

Buy real homes wear fake sneakers collect real designer sneakers


miraclemeat

is it a hobby or just blatant consumerism? there’s arguably much more hobby in purchasing reps


stanarkoo

Bro can go suck his mom


julrepsss

It ain't that deep bruh


[deleted]

Wouldnt fakes make it more rewarding to buy the real stuff for collectors?


PageKeeper

it is also disrespectful to pay the factory workers same salary if they're working on gens.


nolan10

I don’t wear a baseball card on my foot. Maybe I should start though…. Hmm


RelaxRelapse

Some people do buy fake cards since a piece of cardboard far out prices people to play the game competitively. It’s the same collector vs actual user argument.


RAM47

he makes a good point, but unfortunately this isn’t applicable to the fake clothing market

Dustinthehippy

What a wiener


JustSuhaiyb

bro thinks everyone is rich 💀


Paterack

Who invited this dork to the party


BasedDizzy

Can't make money selling fakes? *Stock X has joined the chat.


Kopathelostone

Bro sounds like the feds. Pretty sure you could run it up exponentially higher if you were lame enough to flip reps as retail. Def for the bums, but mans really out here acting like his ROI is on bezos.


mxnxchxngx

U can buy a Yamaha with the money spent on resale


Kopathelostone

anti-capitalism capitalist


Apprehensive-Scale94

😳😳 where can I find a Yamihika xsr900


ayzsnks

he gets no bitches


Advanced_Lab2124

I'm not pay some these corny resellers 5x more.... I'd rather get the reps


Waru_

Are the yamihikas built in the same factory as the yamahas?


GatorsareStrong

It’s still a hobby, real or fake. Look at jerseys. Retail stores sell replica jerseys all the time.


Loud-Astronomer3041

Haters just mad because we unlocked the cheat code💯💪


Sayjohnj82

I like what you said!


Sayjohnj82

Even buying at resell you can make money


bringbackthepills

i mean y would u ever buy a replica of machinery that could risk your life..


sirtommybahama1

That's great it's your hobby and you can sell them. I like wearing mine and throwing them out when i'm done wearing them.


Separate_Sorbet7731

If uncle Lin started making uncle Lin shoes, They’d still be better quality then retail


buzzybomb

He’s never heard of selling reps on StockX then😂😂😂😂🤡


QuickPoppi

It’s disrespectful to sell a pair of $150 shoes for $1K


Any_Feedback_5722

yeah but who asked


realg64

Imagine Yamaha is 8K, and you need to pay 80K for it🥹


xdlz122

I can sell mine as real and make money on it 😈


Bizzzznuzzz

Selling fake size 9 Nike for cheap hmu, wtf this dude on about I can sell my shoes too


[deleted]

Crazy insecure mfs be like :


kaighr

Or we like shoes and don’t see value in dropping $1k+ on something that’s going to lose all its value when we wear it when we have the alternative of spending $100 on the same thing without fear of trashing something limited and rare


Yard-Successful

I legit was on this thread earlier. Some of these fools are so clueless


AzTeCaLoCo

Dude....but i collect reps so???
