I was going to say no difference to buying a limited edition scotch..but yeah you can drink that!

So...no differnet to buy limited edition model cars you just put on a shelf??

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

I have a few cashed up bogan tradie mates (all drive modified ford utes) that buy every single jordan/ewing when they are released... no matter what the style/colour etc. they spend thousands every year

i just don't get it

[dezz]

I know a guy who collects em...He has boxes stacked to the ceiling, they never leave the box, and eventually get sold at those sneaker freaker meets... so that he can buy more shoes that will never leave the box...

Seems strange to me, fair enough if you're gonna wear em, or even display them if that's your thing...but to buy em to sit in a box to sell for a small profit, to spend on more of the same, doesn't do it for me...

far better ways to make money..

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Well considering they are already going for double retail on resale market it's pretty easy to understand imo

Yeh, but the people I am referring to have no intention of selling them... in fact they really only seem to do anything because it's what their mates/workmates do.

Ford V8 ute - check

Guess it's same as those dudes who have massive car collections that are never driven, only looked at.

Some shoes you can make money off, others will stay the same or lose value. Same as cars really.

Well we can safely say the above ain't me! Haha

Yeh I display mine I mean I have no reason to buy them but I guess for me it's a hobby some people have hats. Model cars stamps etc it's not like it's some financial strain on me and I'm selective all the ones I have are worth more than what I paid so if I was so inclined I'd just sell em and move on so really no loss to me either way

There are some I wear but very very few

Hamish y u describe all my pet peeves in one post?

That damn shoe thread has made me add at least 5 pairs of shoes to my "collection" (and I used to be very anti collection), but I do wear all my shoes.

I f**kin love dudes like this, half the time they sell shit for significantly less than resale or even retail value or they get bored and sell up everything with a 99c start on ebay. You end up with DS pairs for like $60.

^ never seen that for any quality / rare shoe.. Basically the good stuff

Then you're either not looking hard enough or not patient enough.

Sounds ambitious but I only really get the reebok / jordan or Lebrons so perhaps they are more popular than stuff your chasin.. I've seen some go for retail or slightly over never below for DS

[Plattsy]

I thought women had shoe collections?

Phil Health collects shoes. He ain't no beta lol

[Birds]

Probably collects them because he can't even put them on

[HEKT1K]

Wouldn't it be so much better if we all just liked the same stuff...

Settle down ladies

Does he also collect needles? He's trying to get the largest collection of pin holes in his ass cheek...

[Leroy Peterson]
