"Live" is a strong word :) 503s everywhere

edit: ah fuck in my haste I got black/silver instead of olive/silver, if anyone wants to trade hmu

edit edit: this is my first time really looking at the pieces, the J16 is really cool and so is the liner, and I'm pleasantly surprised that the pants are less than $1000. If they're really doing P30A-E this season that's going to be a grail all-weather pant. Good job E & co :)

J16 is alpha is actually really sick, the ligther color shows off the paneling. Is the stretch goretex weatherproof? If I didnt have a J1A I'd be really tempted!

as a fan it's disheartening, been after a ng4-ps since its first release and just haven't been able to cop, and no way do I pay over retail especially at acrnm prices.

So many retailers got them compared to the first time around.  I think the resell will be close to nothing, maybe even under retail after people notice how much supply is really out there.

A couple retailers have yet to drop, incl Anthithesis in NY

I ordered two on the mother site thinking the first didn't go through, so I emailed them and they canceled one for me. Not sure when they'll put it back up for sale.

for those who haven't been able to score a ng4-ps, i'd say be patient and wait. this isn't like a mothersite-only drop from 5 years back and since it's MiC and almost every retailer seems to have (had) it, resell prices should drop. 

Agree, it's easier imo if trying to check several retailer in your regions. It's easier to cop, and having much cheaper shipping rate if you are out EU. 

I'd like to share my thought that, for this level of quantity, flippers will and need to drop their price faster to get their money back if ppl stop buying for high price from them.

Every purchase that gets flippers profit will only make it harder for people who really want something in the future drops. 

E is increasing the quantity in recent years, at least it's one of the reasons, to stop flipping. And maybe we could help a little by simply waiting for a while and wait the price come to normal.

People that flip for a living have no jobs lol. Any grown man that earns a decent wage wouldn’t go through the acrobatics to make $100 

Like a decade ago me and my friend would hustle crazy hard on Team Fortress 2 trying to trade for basically scraps. As much fun as it was (in-game items to wear and play with as opposed to a physical thing), as soon as we got jobs we felt like fools lol. Great learning experience, though! Fuck these flippers.

There's no point flipping Acronym anymore since exclusivity was thrown out the window the moment E moved production around and stock increased tenfold. He also keeps rehashing the same models so they've lost their appeal.

Old Acronym grails were the best flips which is why they command the price that they deserve. You guys only showed me J47A-GTs that weren't even full packs and at best, 7/10 condition so I'd say my earlier comment still stands as valid. Have any of you actually seen them at yahoo auctions? Might wanna check the archived posts because you will not find anyone selling these jackets for less than 3k in flawless condition. The only recent pieces that actually had a "grail" aura around them were the j47a-ws and the j28-ws. Both of which were only dropped on the main site (as grails should). GL finding either of those for less than 3k nowadays.

And speaking of grails, if you guys can find me a brand new J28-K blue/grey size S in flawless condition/zero delamination/full pack, I will personally send $1000 as a finder's fee, $2000 for the purple variant. But I'll save you guys time, because none of you won't... just like how a perfect 10/10 full pack J1TS-S in black or RAF will never be sold for less than $3k.

Legacy Acronym products will just keep appreciating just like how collectible sports cards are, which I must point out... is a way better side hustle than flipping these NG4s for a measly $200 profit. I know some of you Mickey Mouse acronym resellers in your various slacks and discords (i.e. "cook groups" ) are reading this so save your energy and go back to shoes and consoles.
