Resale Value
The chart provides us with a breakdown of the average sale price of the shoe since the 23rd of March. As you can see from the records, prices went from $193 to $196 within a two hour period, increasing by $3. We do need to find our five number summary for further details.
Minimum: 164
Quartile Q1: 184.75
Median: 188.5
Quartile Q3: 205.25
Maximum: 227
The lowest sale recorded was $164, for 2 size 10’s and a size 8.5 while the highest sale was $227, for two size 10’s. It is interesting because the size 10 actually went up in price from the 23rd to the 24th. 25% of the shoes sold between $164 and $185 ( see next chart for sizes), whole half of them sold between $185 and $205. The top 25% sales were from $205 to $227 and no outlier was recorded. The overall average resale value is currently $194 with a 9% volatility. At $194, you’re looking at a +$8 profit margin, for a 5% mark up ( 3 times below average). That doesn’t mean the shoe isn’t worth reselling, certain sizes might be worth a shot, let’s see the current earnings by size sold.
About 43% of the sales led to earnings under $10, no profit or a loss ( sizes 6.5,7.5,9.5,10.5,11 and 11.5). The remaining 57% led to earnings between $10 and $25 with size 12.5 producing the most return with $23 generated ( a 14% mark up , still below average). With a volatility of 9% ,you can expect the current margins to drop when the shoe releases officially. Would I recommend reselling the Air Max 1 ’86 Big Bubble? I’ll say no just because the current margins aren’t impressive. The shoe has the potential to grow within the next 16 months, that’s if you plan on investing for the long term. If that’s your goal, then target larger sizes, you won’t regret it.
