It's a sad day when you got people sleeping outside waiting for some sneakers. Witnessed my first camp out today and was thoroughly disgusted. After waiting 2 hours with a very decent place in line it all hit me. I then asked myself....." WTF am I doing here? " Made a few phone calls got a few leads and decided fuck this I'm going home. My 29 year old self was probably one of the oldest people in the line. The rest were a bunch of young kids pants hanging of their ass, smoking cigarette after cigarette. As I stand I listen to comment after comment about reselling the sneakers and that's when it all hit me again, 75% of these campers live at home with mommy and daddy. Being a reseller only works if you buy in bulk. If you take a shoe that cost $170 and sell it for $300 you just made $130 but, you spent $170 so your in the red! So if you can only buy 2 maybe 3 pair camping out to resell is mathematically stupid. The numbers don't lie. Furthermore if you do live at home with your parents all the time spent waiting isn't worth the $100 you might earn. I can't wait until things get back to normal because most people in these lines are doing for the wrong reasons
Sincerely Yours
A true sneaker enthusiast
