Latest Pick-Up #3: Air Jordan 3 Re-Retro "True Blue"

After officially hitting the seen back in February 09 many sneaker collectors, ranging from the uprising to the OG JB heads, received news on one of the most profound releases known to the Jordan Brand History, The Re-Retro of the Air Jordan 3 “True Blues”. Originally released in 1988 and a Retro in 2001, this highly anticipated release will receive its third installment, in August 2009. Unfortunately, it has been set as an International Release, which has created an uproar and irritation by majority of the sneaker community in the States. Set at a retail price possibly ranging around $150-$200, this sneaker has become available early to a few exclusive E-Tailers such as Marquee Sole, VMVInc, and OSneaker with a price tag of $300 (w/ Shipping Included and w/o its OG Box). Luckily, a local spot in Silk City (Paterson), NJ, with there surreptitious connection, received an exclusive shipment of 20 pairs. After closely examining the shoe, online and in person, I convinced myself that I would definitely buy a pair. Check out the Pictures below.

Sneaker Hunt #2: QS Blue Lobsters

After being revealed only a week before its Initial Release: June 20th, the Blue Lobster Nike Dunk Low SB hit the scene causing jaw-dropping impressions. Similar to the Red Lobsters released a year ago, the Blue Lobster was released in special packing limited to the first 200 pairs at Concepts in MA. Now Available [or Soon to be] at all Quick Strike Nike SB Accounts, Hype has resulted in retailers to drive Retail up 40% to 70% of its original $92.00 box price. After making a couple of phone calls to Skate Shops within the Area, I was able to snag a pair for box at NJ Skate Shop III in Hoboken, NJ. Dudes are cool in there. Knowing me, I definitely took the 45-Minute commute to get there. (Detailed Photos Below)

Check out What I wore on the Commute:

How to Find Steals on eBaY# 2: Brian Andersons (BA’s)

I’ve come across another steal on eBaY. This time I was able to snag them up before another bidder did. (Mind you this 5 Day Auction only had 2 Bidders.)
This past week I was able to dig up a pair of Deadstock BA’s from eBaY. Yet again, similar to My First Post, the seller listed this specific pair of SBs incorrectly. There were errors in both, the ‘Item Search Name’ and ‘Size in the description’ from the seller.

When shoe collectors and sneaker heads hunt for SBs on eBaY they usually search by using keywords from the Edition Name from that exact pair. For Ex: If I were to look for a pair of BA’s in my size or for other sizes I’d search both, broad, by using keywords such as “Nike Dunk SB 11,” which would result in finding mostly all SB size 11 listings on eBaY, and/or by narrowing it down using keywords such as “Nike Brian Anderson” or “Nike Dunk SB Brian Anderson.” Each search method will help significantly when seeking a specific pair. But how did I find a pair of BA’s that easily averages between $180-$220 Deadstock FOR ONLY $92.00 w/ Shipping Included?

eBaY Auction Final Sale Price:
Photobucket

1.Sellers Error: It came down to the Sellers Item Name: The seller incorrectly listed this pair by not only stating they were Nike SBs but by not stating its Edition “Brian Anderson.” As a buyer, these errors, give you the advantage, as stated in Post #1, which lowers the market price by almost 50%.

Item Title:
Photobucket

Correct Method: The correct way to List a Pair of BA’s is as follows:
“Nike Dunk High Pro SB Brain Anderson Size 11” – This would have easily appeared in most, if not all, the search listings when being sought out for. (these is a key tip when selling: Using the Correct Item Name.

2.Feedback and Guarantee:
As an experienced eBaY user, I confidently bid on this pair because of the Users Feedback and 100% Guarantee in the Listing. Key factors in making my decision.

Feedback:

3.Pictures provided by the Seller: Using NSB.org’s LEGIT CHECK FORUM I knew that this pair of BA’s were Authentic Nike SBs. It is all about ones knowledge and the Sources one uses in the sneaker Community. (Take advantage of the available Sources out there.)

Knowing that there are sellers out there who list items incorrectly, I searched using keywords “Nike Dunk”; yet broad, it allowed me to find eBaY Listings such as the one from above. (Having extra $ in-hand is essential when hunting down steals!)
