Questions:

  • Have you ever bought or sold a product in the resale market? Why?
  • Why do you think certain brands/products are so desirable in the resale market?
  • Do you think it’s possible to be a responsible consumer while participating in the resale market? Explain why or why not.

Behind the numbers (Complex):

"It’s kind of funny that the number one shoe on the list is Adidas’ $500 running shoe that’s designed for competitive marathon runners. If you’re logging a six-hour marathon, just stick to the latest Pegasus or Kayano. And I didn’t think they’d make a huge splash, but a lot of people are spending upwards of $1,100 on a pair. Wild."
