The Youth Market Of ISS

As I listed earlier, one of my contacts is Issforums.com, also known as Solecollector.com/forums.
This site is mainly controlled by the youth because at this age is usually when "sneakerheads" arise. Teenager's interest in fashion is enormous, therefore affecting the marketplace tremendously. You may not notice this but this has a major effect on our economy because even when people such as the adults and older shoppers don't go shopping or spend money, the people in the youth culture will. If you take a look inside the solecollector forums, you will realize what I'm talking about. We are obviously in recession and people on Iss, as you can see, are still selling/buying sneakers. Consuming is my main point because of the loss jobs/careers and a portion or maybe even whole part of family's income is gone. However, we can see on Iss that people are not only spending but relatively high and expensive for one pair of sneakers. I, myself have been on Iss for years and notice even when times are bad, which in this few years is the first time, the prices doesn't really change, in fact, it may get higher. Thinking about spending from $100-1000's of dollars on just one pair of sneakers. Imagine getting multiple pairs on here. Really, Iss is a bunch of re-sellers like I said just like Ebay except in this situation you can do what you want. For example, if both parties lived in the same area such as NYC, then usually they would do a meetup with each other at discussed time and place after making a agreement. Everything is done at your own risk including shipping first or sending money orders/check first. Well, right now I'm making Iss sound like a negative site but it's not. It is much more convenient than other online shopping sites although it may take some time to get a transaction going. Personally, I like Iss a lot because it has gotten me my fair shares of deals and profits (not much). I of course, spent more than I made because I'm always buying re-seller's shoes and clothes that are exclusive and no longer available at stores. What I really want to explain here in this post is youth control the market place in many aspects because they are the one's targeted. Sneakers and Clothings were made to grab their interests and pull them in to buy, even when it is overpriced like Flight Club (check out Vintagekicks.com) or when you have to line up in freezing cold weather for days or even weeks. Im trying to say that the prices are not originally like that but it's how they make it. Their desire and want for the items contributes to it's price.
