Been into Adidas since my youth, all my footwear exept 1 pair of dms for work is Adidas inc Ransoms for the winter. I buy and sell Adidas for a living(partime) but wont expand on this at the moment. Ive 2 sets of trainers 1 that stays in the box and 1 that gets worn.My son(16) also collects and has star wars, jeremy scotts and a few originals. He recently on a trip to the states got invited to the staff shop in Portland, which cost me a few quid.
Most rare pair? well this week got my hands on a pair of W1 Low Adicolor in the wooden box with all paints etc as new.
Glad Ive found this site as it shows to the wife Im not more odd ball and theres others out there with the same passion.

Welcome

Buy and sell for a living?

[pnh-t]

Sorry UK based.
Buy anything I think is cheap and move it on for a profit.
Thanks for the welcome.

[mr.pure]

Oh, so you're a reseller?

[pnh-t]

Dont worry I wont be pushing my wares.

Does your buisness include buying up as many limited releases as possible then doubling the price and chucking them straight on the bay?

Or, just selling general release old stock.

[Lorrie]

Let's be crystal clear: do you buy Adidas superstars on the cheap and resell them at a profit?

If so, does this include hard to find, limited releases?

[pnh-t]

I dont buy new releases and sell them on, I tend to buy old seasons stock and sell it on.To give you an idea when the Kopenhagens came out in yellow and black at size? I bought a pair for me at £69.99ish.4 weeks ago I found 2 pair in an Adidas outlet for just over £17 each, which I bought to resell. The only Superstars Ive come across cheap have been star wars jedi and rouge squadron but these are old stock now.
I buy most of my stock in mainland europe where the trends/tastes may be different.
You dont see many Superstars about but what I do doesnt seem to be cheap compared with what you can find spending a few hours on the net.
Im not in the loop with people like No6 where new releases sell before the doors open. Im like most I find my trainers/clothes by research and many miles on the road.

So this is why I can't get a original box with my supes at Pear Mill.. I tell them I am not a reseller but they say it is just policy now

[pnh-t]

You cant get a box coz the daft tw*ts throw them out same as Nike Footlocker and JDs.The staff dont get it that you want your footwear with tags tissue and a bloody box.

[benji]

I spoken to the managers... they are told to as policy. Even the cage they put the flattened boxes in are locked. Because people are buying, not to collect and wear, but to re-sell. Everyone will have differing opinions on re-selling, from limited release drops to snapping up bargains at outlets. Personally I have never bought to sell at a profit, infact we (SSDB) generally point out bargains so that others who don't live near outlets can enjoy a few limited releases or rare finds at a cheap price. It is a brave move to declare you are a re-seller on SSDB, but welcome anyway.

[pnh-t]

Theres no point in telling lies, as I said in my 1st post I collect and I re-sell. Adidas in the UK dont allow bulk buyers. If your ever travelling in northern europe I would be more than happy to share the location of some great outlets.
And thanks for the welcome.[/align]

I'm not in the loop with people like No6 where new releases sell before the doors open.

I love this statement.
Vindication for my long held beliefs from someone not long in the game who is already aware of the facts.
Fuck No.6!
