Stupid: new Nike Foam Galaxy shoes on ebay for $50,000. Genius: the bids are up to $70,000

How about a $295 bowtie?

I'd pay that much for a VERY well made pair of combat boots.

This is unbelieveable. What are these people's priorities?

I bet 90% of that crowd either voted for Obama or has never once voted in their lives.

I seriously doubt who these guys voted for has any indication on their actions. It's not like Obama condones rioting over sneakers.

I want these, LOL:

most acceptable pairs of sneakers are around $100 min. So $220 is not that much of a stretch if they are the 'new' whatever...it's part of black culture. Funny thing is that the sneakers are being made for about $5 if that...talk about getting robbed. Ha. the place that sells sneakers near me deliberately over prices them because they know the blacks (some urban whites) must have them to be 'cool' and acceptable...so there is price inflation. It is like women's shoes, they all want to have the special limited edition sneakers to be different etc...that is why sneakers are constantly coming out like every few months.

And white people spend $220 to go golfing one time and after four hours they have not a single tangible good to show for it. See what I did there?
