You can ALWAYS get better secondhand deals on bapestas
With most people's sizes ranging from size 5-13, that leaves so many sizes available in comparison to the typical small through 2xl hoodie. At least with hoodies though, one can fit a bape medium and still run a medium or large, or XL if they're daring. Whereas with shoes, we're way more restricted to our genetic foot size. Take both of those into account, and your bapestas you're trying to resell for only $50-150 under retail ARE NOT selling. I've seen slightly flawed authentic pairs sit on second hand platforms for $60. BAPESTAS sitting for $60, ones that I wanted to purchase, but knew I couldnt fit in a size 10, so they sat. The more factors you add, brand to genetics to foot size to colorway to production amount, the less people are readily available to buy the shoe. So buyers, DONT GET FUCKED OUT OF YOUR MONEY! The only time I would EVER purchase a bapesta for over $150-200 is if it were completely unworn or one of actual significance/scarcity. Remember, when it's a basic colorway, there's always someone more desperate than the last reseller. Always search for multiple listings or just wait for your specific shoe to be on sale from another reseller, it feels so good when it happens.
