I am currently a Design student who's aspirations is to design shoes and bring the sneaker culture back to the collector. It comes down to the old mantra of changing the system from the inside.

If they account their total cost and salary for waiting a whole week. The price they are selling them for doesn't equal to any profit what so ever other than a lost. You couldn't operate a business under these circumtances. They are only adding a few hundred of dollars more on top of what they paid for the shoe without thinking . Those few hundreds which in this case i put as $300. That number seemed quite fair. In actuality, they should sell them for thousands but no one would buy. Therefore, they have to settle for a few hundreds more. Which is nothing for someone who is accustom to buying expensive stuff. They're the one that benefit from it and also the consignment stores because they get a free inventory plus a 30 to 40 percent of the sale (kind of like pimping). Nike is laughing at them because they think that they are making money. You have account everything when you are pricing a product. The Flippers sell their stuff pretty cheap given what they had to go through.

Paid way more for the jays & dress shoes. The truth hurts and they are just plain UGLY!!! I’m really not feeling it and its true I’m not from the GHETTO or the hood. NIKE’s marketing is really messed up on this collaboration with the ultra-ego-self-centered Kanye West. 2 bills aint that much for a pair of kicks. Paid way more for the jays & dress shoes.

"A Profit is Revenue minus The Total Cost. Your Revenue at this point is the $300 you are hoping to be bringing in once put it on eBay. don’t forget that you did spend $350 as your Total Cost. $300 (Revenue) minus $350 (total cost) equals -50. You actually made a lost. " You got the formula right, but Revenue is the actual price that he'd sell it for on ebay... so either you are severely underestimating the market price of these (which at present is going for between 500-800 on ebay) or you just plugged his expected profit in as his revenue. in all likely hood he'd make an economic profit.. but likely still lose out if you factor in opportunity costs like NOT WORKING... which of course is a bit lame.
