This will be an ongoing project that will be going on weekly, with the eventual goal of compiling a database of market values for all SB Dunks. This will be updated every Monday.
Here’s how it works:
Every day I will look at finished auctions on eBay for a certain SB Dunk (authentic of course). I will be choosing one shoe a week, and maybe on occasion two if there aren’t that many auctions. I will note the final price (not including shipping) and enter it into a spreadsheet which will compile until the end of that seven day stretch. At the end of the seventh day, I will average out the prices for sizes 6-13, and we will have a general idea of what you will be looking at per size, per pair of shoes.
Example: In one week, 10 pairs of authentic Tiffany’s are sold on eBay. The post will show the overall average price for all ten (noting condition of the sold pair), as well as a break down of what each size sold for.
Tiffany’s:
• Date: Feb 20th - Feb 26th, 2008
• Market value (average): $455 DS / $405 VNDS
• Highest market value per size: Size 10, average: $475
• Lowest market value per size: Size 8.5, average: $410
Thus, we have the ‘market value’ of the Tiffany’s (Diamonds) at that time (this is an example).
This is a way to not only be more accurate when searching for a price check, but also a way to have a ballpark figure of what you will be paying when looking for a certain shoe.
Lastly, every so often I will go back and re record a shoe for a week, to see how the market value has increased, declined, or stayed the same. You may realize the market value will change, but that’s to be expected, and thus the challenge of this thread/idea.
I hope everyone can appreciate the thought behind this, and shoot out some ideas if you have any.
Hit the jump to see our first subject:
Skate or Dies!:
• Date: Feb 18th - Feb 24th, 2008
• Market value (average): $188 DS
• Highest market value per size: Size 12, average: $209
• Lowest market value per size: Size 8.5, average: $171
Check out the charts that went into these findings:
Discuss these results in our forum, and be sure to check back in next week. Leave comments, and we can decide which shoe will be looked at for next Monday.

Flight Club minus their percentage is usually “market value” or the highest you can get.
good idea!
“Flight Club minus their percentage is usually “market value” or the highest you can get.”
While somewhat true, I really don’t think Flight Club puts this much research into their pricing, hence the idea!
Really cool.
nice! this is awesome
i think this is a really great idea, helps people alot…
kudos!
For sure a good idea. Definitely helps the newcomers from getting a not so great deal. As for flight club you can basically subtract $50-70 and that is a fair price.
Wow someone has a lot of time on their hands, shit, im glad someones doin it though
you shouldnt call it market value… call it hypebeast value…
Great Idea! It would take a lot of work to do. Let me know if you need the help.

nice idea
i hope you are making good use of the excel functions!
Hey I would love to help out with this project I have some time on my hands also. E-mail me at roland.ibarra@gmail.com. You can assign me a shoe or two to keep track of at the end of the week, I just want recognition for doing the work, and of course to use you as a reference for future jobs. I might need some training of how you keep your spreadsheets, it looks like your using excel, I might be able to mimic the spread sheet you have up, but we can talk about it if you actually let me help out.
nothing wrong with the term market value. it’s what a willing buyer’s gona pay for that shoe, and the price the seller’s willing to sell at.
This is definitely a good idea but clearly a lot of work because the market value of SB’s is slightly, sometimes significantly, different than the market value in forums like NSB/ISS/NT and etc. And they’re not ALWAYS hyped-up price; only most of the times.
Market Value is played by the consumer’s “Supply and Demand.”
