“How can we understand the price’s variation?”

A concept to know is the “hype”: every article has its own

“hype”, for example usually “Supreme” collaborates with other

brands like “Comme des Garçons”, “The North Face”, “Stone

Island” etc.. in this case the resell price is higher because there is

much “hype”.

“How can we buy a limited article?”

The various brands have different methods. The most famous,

Supreme, drops their pieces every Thursday at 12:00 AM. They

show a “droplist” two or three days before the drop so the

people can see which article is better to resell. There are some

apps like “SupCommunity” that show you the various droplists. In

other cases the brands tell you the time of the drop through

Instagram and other social networks.

“Where can we resell a limited article?”

The answer is simple: on internet. You have to download some

specific applications like “GOAT”, “Stockx”, “Shpock”, “BUMP”

and “Depop”. These applications allow you to sell your pieces in

all the world. Moreover you can sell even on Facebook and

Instagram through some pages and groups.

The world of streetwear is charming, it represents an evolution of the vogue. There are some expensive collections full of rare pieces that cost thousands and thousands of dollars.
