So what I would try to do is that it always try to keep your business and your personal life separate. So if you have a personal Instagram, I doubt, you know, girls at your school want to see posting pictures of Yeezys like seven times to try and sell them. I would go ahead and make a separate Instagram account, and that to me is the first step of effective reselling to eventually work your way up to Supreme and Bape. Once you have your Instagram account, it's very important to make sure that people can find your posts. Because I understand that having zero followers is very difficult to come up from.
So what I did was I used to use hashtags like #Supremeforsale, and I would use hashtags like #shoesforsale, and those would help spark interest in other people looking for sneakers to buy. Now, I do understand that this video is to get stuff like Supreme and Bape. But you do have to work yourself up, and if you're lucky enough, like say, you have a job and stuff like that, then I'm about to get to that part in a second. So let's say now you finally have your income rolling in. Maybe get a hundred bucks a week here and there through a job, through reselling on Instagram. Then you're starting to be like, well, now, how do I get like a Supreme box logo http://casino-games.my/new-bonus/? This one for example, I paid $525 for, and to me that's a steal, and some you guys be like, Oh goddamn, why you spending that much on a damn t-shirt? And why are you spending $1,200 for a jacket? The thing is it's like... It's like the... It's the culture you know. Like I don't mind paying that much for stuff like this because it's what I like to collect. It's what I like to buy, and it's what I like to show off to you guys. So I have no problem spending that much on a Supreme t-shirt or a Bape jacket. But some of you, it may matter, and you want to know how to find a steal. This t-shirt right here usually goes with $800 to $1,000. I managed to get for $525. Well, how do you do that? Another thing that I wanted to mention is you can actually use Supreme's website to get these kind of tees for yourself. Although the chances may be very slim, if you do manage to get a $48 t-shirt, you could turn that into $480, depending on the T-shirt though. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go on my laptop, and I know Supreme, they're only having one more drop I believe. So this may not be relevant for the summer, if you are trying to cop some Supreme for retail. The thing you would have to do is you have to go on Supreme's website at probably 10:59 in the morning, every Thursday, when Supreme's in season. To do that just make sure you follow their Instagram, @supremenewyork, to make sure you know that the stuff is coming out that week. So for example, let's say I buy this right here. The Supreme Champion half zip pullover for $148, that is a lot of money. I understand that. But you can make that $148 into, well, let's see. So if we go on eBay, let's say you do get that jacket, and I don't really recommend eBay because there are a lot of scammers on eBay, but let's just do Supreme Champion half zip pullover. So right here, if you did manage to get it, you can turn that $148 into $235. $250. $230. You guys get the idea. You can make a nice little profit selling stuff like that. Now, how to get the box logo. Well, that's going to be a different story, because most likely, other people are going to beat you to it since there will be such a large amount of people trying for that box logo.

[Captions by Y Translator] Yo, you guys! What is going on? It's Blazendary here. Today in this video, I'm going to be teaching you the best ways to afford Supreme, Bape, Off-White, Vlone, all those really expensive brands that you think you'd never be able to cop.
And even if you are like a successful reseller, and you still are having trouble getting items like you know, like $1,200 Bape jacket. I'm not here to flex. I'm here to teach you how I came up through the reselling... And all these other cool methods that I'm about to show you to get, you know, the stuff that I have. As you guys can see, and if you did watch my room tour, that was a pretty fire ass vid by the way. So I'd go check that out if I was you. As you can see, I've got a lot of Supreme, a lot of Bape, a lot of cool stuff on display, but I didn't all just get it for free, and I didn't all just get it through my parents. In fact, none of this is through my parents. This is through like four years of hard work, and I understand that I'm the biggest, or one of the biggest hypebeast on YouTube. Actually, I consider myself to be the biggest. Like damn, I'm wearing Supreme and Bape right now, and I got them Blazendary shorts on. But aside from all that, I think there's four easy steps that you can do to get money through reselling, through Supreme, Bape, and then eventually work your way up by using certain apps to find Supreme, Bape, and stuff like that for cheap. So I'm going to teach that all to you right now. I did want to mention that I am giving away free Air Jordan 1 Royal in any size to anybody that wants it. All you have to do is subscribe by clicking the link down below in the description to enter. And if you're already subscribed, well damn, you already entered. It's that simple. So just make sure that if you aren't subscribed, you click down below, link in the description, and then if you even are subscribe, you can still click the link and get some bonus entries by following me on Instagram, adding my Snapchat, which is on the bottom left hand corner of the screen. These are free, and the winner will pick whatever size they want. Alright, so let's flashback to about four years ago. I used to sell like really, like not beat up, but really like common Jordans. Back then, Jordans were like a thing that everybody, like you know, would always want to buy. Adidas wasn't in the game yet. Nobody was in the game. Like I had a very tough come up. I said I had a tough come up because these Air Jordan 5's right here, these used to be the kind of things we'd sell. The only issue is they were only going for like $150 to $200, and that wasn't really much to buy yourself, you know, like back then a Nike Air Yeezy 2 Platinum. Now, you've got stuff like Kanye Yeezys, that if you manage to get a pair for retail, you could be making a $700 - $800 profit. I started selling Jordans on this Instagram account I created called Blazendary Kicks. Fun fact, I still use that account today to even resell stuff like my Yeezys, which are up there, and I use it to promote my merchandise, which the shorts I am wearing are from my brand. So this is the account right here, and that amount of time, I've amassed over 26,000 followers, and that's just from my store. Like I even made a post today. Like I'm like, Look guys, this isn't my main account. My main account is @giancarlopurch. So there's no real easy answer there. I don't recommend you short stocks. I don't recommend you go out and buy short-term S&P 500 putts and roll them every month.
Some hedge funds do that. And you're just destroying capital. Generally speaking, during times like this, invest more conservatively, hold more cash, and take smaller position sizes. And just be patient. The markets come and go in cycles. And most investors are pro-cyclical. They pile into stocks in October of '07, and then they puke it all out because they can't take the pain in March of '09. They piled in April of 2000, they piled out in October of 2002. So investors' portfolios, as a rule, tend to do worse than the overall market because their market timing is so horrible. You need to be counter-cyclical, and that's important. You either need to be steady-- look, just put $10,000 every quarter from your IRA, just put it into an [INAUDIBLE] fund just quarterly, and it's sort of automatic, you don't think about, right? That's a lot better than what most investors do, which is being pro-cyclical. But ideally, you sort of want to be counter-cyclical and just sort of have an instinct. Look, I'm not a full-time investor. I'm doing my job. I'm earning an income. I'm probably not going to get fired. But the market's crapping out, so maybe I'll bump that to $20,000 this quarter and take a little bit of money and put some extra money into the market. Maybe you put a little bit less in. If you can do that over a lifetime, that'll help a lot. JOHN HEINS: I wouldn't overestimate your ability to time, however. I wouldn't overestimate my ability to time. It's very difficult to get that right. WHITNEY TILSON: Yeah. 80% of the way there, if you simply don't screw it up and you just do it steadily. And if you're really clever-- I'm being-- look, I have done, in 16 years, I have done well by being aggressive in late 2002 right after 9/11, at the bottom, late. You can actually-- there's a public record of it. You can Google Whitney Tilson "60 Minutes," and in December of 2008, I correctly predicted the housing, the bursting in the housing bubble, and I was a guest on "60 Minutes," about the housing crisis. And I said, I'm piling in. Like I'm all in, because as bad as things are out there, stocks are cheap. So having that-- I mean I'll tell you, because when you feel like hiding under your desk with a flak helmet on because every single day your portfolio's blowing up, and the headlines are so horrible, it's hard to do. But being counter-cyclical like that, a contrarian like that can add value. But most people can't do it. So at the very least, don't screw it up by doing what most people do and piling in at the top and selling at the bottom. MALE SPEAKER: We're out of time. Thank you so much. WHITNEY TILSON: OK, thank you. JOHN HEINS: Thank you. [APPLAUSE] |
