ShoeZeum Tracking Update as of 9/13/13 (yes, that was a while ago):
Rick Harrison‘s Offer (Pawn Stars): $550k
Total Sold (9/13/13): 1,431 pairs for $298k –> $208/pair
Left to Go: 957 pairs; $252k needed –> $264/pair
It’s definitely possible to hit the $550k Rick offered, but I think we’re all in agreement there’s no way Jordy is reaching the $1,000,000 he originally asked for. He’d have to average $734 per pair for the 957 left, and that ain’t happening.
Interesting Data:
Because we’re getting a late start here (real late), today’s interesting data is the top five most expensive auctions from the ShoeZeum that ended with a sale in May 2013.
#1) Converse Pro Leather “UNC Championship Pack” – $7,800. 61 bids – auction link here – Custom pack included a MJ signed pair of Converses and signed UNC jersey in a collector’s case. This auction was for #5 of 30.
#2) Air Jordan I – 1985 OG White/Black/Red – $3,400. 89 bids – view auction here Very impressive pair of original AJ I’s that were never worn or even laced
#3) Air Jordan III – 2011 “Oregon Ducks Pit Crew” – $3,250. 32 bids – view auction here This a personal favorite of ours. Only 500 pairs were made
#4) Air Jordan I – 1985 OG Black/Royal Blue – $2,855. 44 bids – view auction here We dug in further on this one and noticed that the person who won this auction also won the auction above on the black and reds I’s
#5) Air Jordan III – 2011 “Oregon Ducks Pit Crew” – $2,800, 42 bids – view auction here – This isn’t a typo. The same exact pair of “Ducks” was the fifth most expensive sale for $450 less than #3 but had 31% more bids. What an amazing data point!…or just a buyer who flaked and a re-listing…either way, pretty cool that we caught it.
