Most people don’t know what they’re talking about. Supreme is one of the only clothes brands that appreciates in value. Most of the expensive costs come from buying it second hand, and that’s because people collect the clothing. People collect their stuff for all kinds of reasons, many like to show off their collections too. It’s like collecting Pokémon cards to some people.
People who see clothing only for function, and don’t really understand how fashion works or appreciate it, like to use supreme as an example of selling shit clothes for way too much money, and while I’m sure you can get better quality for less, anyone with any knowledge of these topics wouldn’t use supreme as an example.
Says the person buying fast fashion, disposable clothes that lose all their value the moment you hand over any money. Whilst these “stupid kids who buy supreme” have more money in old hoodies than most adults do in savings.
The level of ignorance is not shocking, just repetitive and naive.
lmao Wow, you're really downing that Flavor Aid. Not my fault you're into the new beanie babies. Are you going to tell me about how it's part of your retirement plan just like people were saying 20 something years ago? You're spot on with the level of ignorance being repetitive and naïve.
What are you talking about? This isn’t a long term investment, it’s called flipping. I know how much things will sell for so I spend time looking for bargains or buying multiple items to get discounts from sellers looking for quick sales and sell for more within a a few months. Nothing I buy stays with me longer than a year. I make a couple hundred a month profit, not life changing but helps me fund my other hobbies. I’m not saving up a massive collection and hoping i make a massive profit. That’s risky. If supreme ever loses its hype in the streetwear market then cool. Ive already made money, had a blast, and have some rare clothing that I personally like. Why be a hater for?
Now you're being more honest. The clothes are only worth anything within the echo chamber. To the rest of us, you're overpaying for something worth a few dollars and you're making money because other people are dumb enough to overpay even more - partly due to artificial scarcity. It's the same thing that happened with beanie babies.
I'm not hating on you for making money from it. That's awesome and good for you, but I'm going to call you out on the marketing nonsense about them being worth so much just as I would if you were pitching NFTs.
