I never thought I'd lived the day to see where Nike Air Jordan I Black Toes reach such an astronomical price:

I had a pair when I was in intermediate school, sadly it was well used and ultimately ended up in the trash

Damn. I know better than to think of other people's collection hobbies as outrageous, but still...damn.

[chiefroastbeef]

also weird... why would the buyer "yaozorz" raise the bid from 500 to 15,100...

 

[D-EJ915]

They are nice shoes, but that price is a little extreme.

 

[GlowWorm]

I had a pair of those in the day, but man 15K for a pair of freakin' basketball shoes!?! It would almost make sense if they were the ACTUAL shoes Jordan used in a game, with his signature.

 

[warubozu]

Yup, I knew 1st edition Air Jordans are worth big bucks and are highly sought after by collectors of kicks but to lay down a little over 15K for a pair that seem to be lightly used is a little bit over the top. The funny thing is that in the seller's description he had bought that particular pair at a yard sale.

That's the autobid going, when somebody bids below your maximum price, you'll automatically outbid them. While the auction is still going though, you'll only see the automatic bidder being listed as putting in a bid. When the auction ends and they display all the bids you should see who put in the competing bid that the autobidder defeated.

EDIT: Seriously though, the auction has 6 days left and it's already this high and outrageous... something tells me this is going to be cancelled.

That is possibly one of the most ridculous things I've ever seen. I mean, at least you could spend that much money on something functional, not something to have sit on a shelf. It's a shoe, not a Picasso, folks!

Hmmm, car or shoes... decisions, decisions

Or hmmm, Orpheus or car or shoes....

 

[roadtonowhere08]

LOL, I am more of a speaker man myself, but I'd definitely love to hear the Orpheus one day. Give me some Klipsch RF-7's and a good 2ch. amp and I am all set

 

[x1lexure]

Those are some nice lookin' shoes though....

 

[psxguy85]

Buy whatever floats your boat I guess.......people would think you are just as crazy for buying an Orpheus.

What happen with the auction? Last time I saw is $15000.00, now is only $695.00

Check out the bidding history and you'll find a bid cancelation and retraction list in that auction that's about a mile long.
