    You're out of your element Donny.  I think this was covered in earlier pages, but buying with the intent of keeping and then taking what the market will pay, versus buying with the intent of reselling are two different things.  Yes, taking the example you posted out of context of the user's past history with the brand doesn't look favorable.  But I can just as easily point to these past sales, and argue that he's made getting into the brand easier by making pieces available at lower price points.

    With the influx of resellers, if he, or anyone else that has been following the brand for a while, were to do this now, a entrepreneurial minded person would immediately purchase and repost for twice the value.  That is why I don't mind certain people posting for above retail to protect against this behavior.   But when an unknown player comes into the market with the most hyped pieces of a season in random sizes a day after the drop and asks for offers, I'm going to call them out.  So I would disagree that "OGs" are being inconsistent with their hate.  Also, if you read vir2l's post, he is not going to build a bot.

    he didnt sell at those prices out of the kindness in his heart lol as for that acr reseller, 100% agreed its warranted. and what are you reading dude? all of vir2l say along the lines of "desperate times calls for desperate measures" "botsseason" "tempting to make bots"

    -69 rep, joined March 2017.

    Thank you for proving my point. IIRC, you're also that guy defending resellers. No surprise there.

    lol please read more carefully. i was just pointing out the fact that OG guys are reselling too so either be consistent with the hate or that's just hypocritical. And I like how you pointed out my pt rep as if that means anything. I'm not the one here saying they're gonna build bots. we don't need people like you here.

    Wow, how annoying. The black jacket I wanted was sold out already.

    Errolson was right: "Used to be #ΛCRИMweek ... Now it's more like #ΛCRИMhour 

    You guys hate on resellers but you guys have yourselves to blame when everyone keeps name dropping these sites on a public forum. God knows how many lurkers are in this topic.

    Too much hype now and I did not want to pursue this road but desperate times call for desperate measures.

    which apparently didn't work anymore (talking individual subnet use by the way, not retail). i get what you're saying but who knows.

    "Scum"? C'mon, guys. Yeah, it's douchey but, let's chill. I mean, let's not forget that there's people out there willing to pay the money...

    He sold more pieces at less than retail than most people will ever own in their lives.

    Just my opinion...but when you're simply buying gear to flip and not even wear/enjoy it takes away from the aesthetic of the brand.  @acrhive is a long time aficionado of ACRNM, probably more than most of the current posters on this thread...pieces he's listed for above retail tend to be pretty rare and have at least been worn. 

    Again...just my opinion but guys like that Grailed reseller are bottom feeders, no appreciation for the label.  

    ok, let me get this straight, we sufu are cool with ppl reselling as long as they aren't buying and flipping right away. So long as you've worn the thing or have a few pieces in your collection, you can resell on here at resell prices. I'm ok with that. so let's stop all the hate on here when ppl post WTS of new shit at above retail prices. a.k.a. let's not be a @danii ("[NEW IN ACRONYM COMMUNITY SALES THREAD]  WRITE REASON WHY YOU SELLING"). I think that sounds fair.

    Hit Erlsn up on twitter, i'm sure he'll get one sent out to you!

    Saint alfred also has

    • EscapeZip - Secondary Zipper System for Easy Off-&-On

    The general concensus is that this is a typo and theres no escape zip right?

    yup, no escapezip, look at the pic #3, zip goes all the way up to the end

    J47 is one of the more popular jackets. Resale is very very high on this and its also tough to find. I'd wait for FW1718

    resale on old 47 is typically not high. the new 47 isn't selling well so resale won't be ridiculous. just a pretty vanilla piece especially with no escape zip now.

    If you hate yourself, you can try for Japanese retailers. Don't think a lot of them dropped yet.

    might as well try Grailed in a few weeks, japanese stores will sell for $2.2k minimum on jackets

    Greetings from Seattle. Acr noobie here looking for his first outerwear piece. I'm considering a J47R since I love the less aggressive styling, however as noted before, it lacks an escape zipper. To me (a noob), it just seems too iconic to miss. It having the higher price tag also has me questioning whether it would be wiser to simply search for the older J47 through resellers. Or just wait for the next release. Anyone have any insight for me? 

    just wait the FW17, heard there's too many dope jackets dropping then

    Got my shipping notice too, I ordered P10TS and 3A-MZ3s in separate orders but got one shipping notice. This kinda concerns me because the order for the P10s alone are under the 1000AUD threshold, and I paid the 50 euro shipping fee twice. Does anybody know if Acronym's gonna ship my orders together?

    they will ship in separate orders. your other shipping notice will come. don't worry

    So ahhh, jumped on the J1 from bodega, order confirmation at 9:01pst, money taken out at 9:02...

    :blush:

    Kinda down with the idea of building your own jacket via the modulars but just wish they were Stotz vs foil. Everyone I show this stuff to thinks it looks like bondage gear.

    no offense mang but ppl need to give up on the j1ts, it's not going to grow on you :(

    Haha I'll bite. I agree with you guys, I probably worded my last post too strongly but you're picking at semantics and missing the point :unsure: 

    I think it's common sense that any business will aim to achieve a certain margin over cost of sales to stay profitable. Just trying to emphasise that the market and brand position that Acronym has achieved for itself plays a big factor in the higher prices this season. It's not just because of extra grids of tech-sys and whatnot. People tend to forget that Acronym is a luxury brand and pricing does work differently in this market space.  

    perhaps Acr is overconfident in its increased brand position; it had one hit with the prestos and we all know the DAFs sold out quick b/c of reseller greed

    Oh yes, we're going here again! I love this discussion and the people who will argue that market position is the only determinant for pricing.

    I wish complaining on here about prices would change E's mind -_-
