So, I know you guys are gonna believe this when you see the title
But I'm gonna prove this to you today because I got a pair for damn near
Retail right here and then went right before I got a chance to shoot the video
I ended up just picking out another pairs today and i'ma show you guys exactly how I did this
And how you can find ways to save money too because I'm telling you right now
You gonna have to pay that high dollar value when it comes to shoes like this
Welcome back to the channel everybody
If you are new to the channel
Don't forget to hit that subscribe button join the family say what's up in the conversation?
You already know those fancy things we can get that out the way now
My name is DJ if you didn't know that already and this is the DNA show
Now this segment is more pushed towards story time in talking about
the sneakers in the collection how they were
Obtained how to save money doing it and just the story and the value and the sentimental value behind these shoes
So today on this topic we have the Travis Scott 6 for those that don't know the Air Jordan
6 alone is my number one favorite
Jordan model of all time daddy Joe I don't care what you guys say. This is my favorite model
So I'm gonna tell you guys how I got these for just a little bit over retail retail was what 250 bucks, right?
So I got these for two hundred and sixty-five dollars and it was about a week after maybe two weeks after the launch
So I feel like that's a pretty good deal saying that the shoe was valuing
somewhere around six hundred and seventy six hundred eighty bucks in a size 13
I feel like to get it for close to retail is a really good deal. First step first. This is what you got to do
You need to sit in your collection. It's take it just take a gander for a second
And look at the shoes that you have in your collection
Right and then determine what shoes do you really love what you do not want anymore
What can you get some good value out of?
That you've had in your collection for a long time that you're like really I have never wore these and they have some good value
And I might be able to turn a good profit to buy a shoe that I actually do want right?
So let's talk about that. I ended up getting a pair of Air Force Ones. They were a sample
It was a tisha sample all-black high-top Air Force one, and personally it just wasn't for me
But I knew getting that shoe for a hundred bucks knowing that it may be worth five six hundred bucks
Why not?
copyright it was one of those type of things I sat on it for a while and then there came a moment when I was
Like haha. This is what I can do. I can take this shoe now
I can sell it and use the money to buy a shoe that I actually want
so I took that sneaker and I took the J th
Jordan 3 the TAM one I took those two shoes and I took them to index
It's a local sneaker shop here in Portland and I put them on consignment. I did it the easy way
I didn't really want to have to worry about it
And I said hey
Once these two shoes sell I'm gonna take that money and I'm gonna go directly to stock X and I'm gonna purchase them at whatever
Price that is that's on stock X. They hit me up about you
Maybe like a week later that gave me a check
It was like seven hundred and thirty dollars
so I had seven hundred and thirty bucks from two shoes that I had spent two hundred and fifty dollars on and
$100 on so
Technically out of my pocket three hundred and fifty dollars total and I turned that three hundred and fifty dollars
Into seven hundred and thirty dollars, right? So I went to stock cakes prices were around six hundred and seventy six hundred eighty bucks
They were kind of going down a little bit size. Thirteen is really good for me because it's the
Prices aren't as high as the smaller sizes. It was a great day for me
So I've seen these on stock cakes and I was like, let's put a beat in let's do a little bit lower
Let's see if somebody is, you know desperate or you know willing to give me forty thirty bucks off
Whatever, so I put it being in at six hundred and forty-five dollars
I have purchased and sold things on stock X before so I had free shipping
That saved me money as well because I didn't have to pay the fourteen dollars or whatever for shipping. These came in the myth
So I got my pair from stock X and these who made my day I was oh so happy
So let's do the math real quick and break it all down, right?
we spent three hundred and fifty total and then we turn that into seven thirty right and then we spent
Six hundred and forty five on these right?
So that means we saved eighty five dollars which will subtract that from the three fifty and that
Puts us at what two hundred and sixty-five dollars total
so in total
I spent two hundred and sixty-five dollars cash out of my pocket from original purchases before
To get this shoe or I traded the Air Jordan three and the Air Force one
For this sneaker right here, whatever you like to say. However, you like to cut it. That's exactly how I did it
So instead of me coming out of my pocket
Extra six hundred and fifty dollars and still spending money on the other shoes that I had
I made a sacrifice for those to get something that I really wanted and something that I really loved
So these came in the mail and I was like yo
I'm shooting this video this Sunday because you know the video is coming out on Sunday, right?
Settle in today Sunday cuz video just drop right you watching it right now, right?
But anyways, so I'm like yo, we're gonna shoot this video. Everything's gonna be great
Like I'm about to tell his story just about to lie
Wait a minute, wait a minute my boy chase hits me up. He shoots me a message from opera now
Everybody knows if you gonna offer up there can be scammers. There can be fakes
There can be different things like that after seeing them on offer up
What I did was I asked him I said hey
Do you see anything that you see in my listings that you want or whatever?
So he saw these the Brad fours, and he was like hey
I want the bread fours and some cash and I was like cool. Let's do it what you want to do
So he said I'll give you
The sixes for the bread fours and 300 bucks. So my article I spent 200 bucks on these not this specific pair
I got a few pairs of each but um, I spent 200 bucks on these and
300 bucks cash
so that's gonna put me at
$500 total to make the deal to get the next pair from the guy and I'm thinking like hmm
do I want to spend 500 bucks total to get these and I was thinking about it long term I said
Okay, long term. What are these gonna be worth?
800 thousand dollars over time. I think it might be worth it. Plus it's cheaper than what it's going for on stock X
So if I were to take you to a sneaker event or something like that and some in-person with somebody else I would still be
Able to profit on for this shoe knowing that I purchased it for five hundred dollars
I might be able to sell it for 600 or 650 in this moment
Right, so that way I could still profit 100 bucks hundred fifty bucks
Or I can sit on it for a long term and then try to come up four hundred eight hundred
Whatever it may be or I could turn it into a rocker. You name it? Whatever right? So
At the end of the day I ended up picking up these two shoes right here left, right, whatever you want to call it
well
I guess they're both left foot it but I ended up picking up a pair off of stock decks
And I got this pair from him. I met him at index. We got verified. Everything was good authentication process was smooth
We had a great transaction. Shout out to my guy for coming through the clutch
I'm looking forward to doing more deals with you, too
If you're seeing this video bro, and um, yeah
I'm actually very very happy very very excited about this one
And I really really love this colorway and the concept and everything behind it
There are definitely a lot of cool unique collabs
That kind of stick out and I don't like all the claps but this one right here. Definitely
definitely popped out with the glow in the dark souls on them as well the pockets the different hits this is this is something for
The books for me. So which story was better? I guess wasn't story
But which deal was better for you guys the stock ex deal or the regular finding home on offer up deal?
So I spent five hundred cash in total two hundred and sixty-five
dollars in total and then
Obviously I had to do some trading and some finagling with the sneakers to make it happen for both deals drop a comment down below
let me know what you guys think if this story was helpful or something that kind of helped you open up your mind on like
yellow, I could actually use my sneakers to leverage them to buy other sneakers and
This is kind of what you do in the real estate market too is the same thing take something that has equity you use it
Refinance use that money buy something else grow your profile. It's the same thing. It's all the same thing
so learn from sneakers first, and then we can talk about houses and stuff later because you know
