eBay Seller: auctioncause

Charity auction of Nike's shoe from Back to the Future 2/3

If you wanted those power lace shoes, you could get an official facsimile of them. No power laces but lots of lights.

Be ready to pony up serious cash for one. Only 1500 are made. Charity is for Parkinson disease, which as you may know Michael J Fox suffers from.

wow ... just wow .... the shoes look as ugly as the prices ....

what's the point of doing a limited serie? i bet some people will sell the shoe and therefore get their cash back right after the initial "donnation" ....

That is very true what you said about dumping brand new stock as many companies do it. I put my last 2 dollars on SEGA also dumping brand new stock when they went bust.

not sure about that.

the main reason for dumping is to create a maximum output with the new releases. atari didn't want millions of ET games going for 10$ a cart ... they wanted kids to spend 40$ on the latest games. plus it was the time when more and more shops surfaced that would sell old stock that they bought cheap. with dumping, they would make sure that most of the money spent on games would somehow affect their actual products where the benefits are the biggest.

only once a company has vanished, the games will resurface in a place like best electronics and be sold for a few bucks. at that point it wouldn't "steal" any customers from their target group.
