Because the demand is so high, the gouging prices they set don't really matter. Peter and other major flippers deal with the simple laws of supply and demand.Peter said, “I only got thirty-five pairs. A fellow flipper bought 100 pairs of Nike Yeezys, and got a call from Nike. Peter never buys too much product at once.He is in constant communication with other "major flippers" who sell everything from the latest Supreme to the latest Nike drops.With the eBay store, I even pack it and ship it myself,” he said. Peter does a lot of the dirty work himself. “I do everything myself.Goods sell for more than double what they cost at Supreme.There are 10-30 people waiting on line that work for Unique Hype Collection.Peter pays kids $100 to stand in line at every Supreme drop.Curious as to how you can potentially make milllions of dollars by simply copping and then selling gear? Here's a breakdown of some of Peter's tactics:
“I’ve brought in seven figures a year for the last two years,” Peter said. Unique Hype Collection buys a shitload of Supreme, waits until it's no longer available, and then re-sells it at exorbitant prices. While not necessarily black-market material, this occupies a space in the ubiquitous grey-market, and we imagine that the 30-year-old owner named Peter had good reason to not give his last name or be photographed by the New Yorker when they profiled his business. The business strategy is simple, and one that kids have been employing since the Internet contribute to the proliferation of streetwear in the early 2000s. It's impossible to find using traditional directories, and you won't find this place on Google, but this closet-sized retail space rakes in millions of dollars selling items from Supreme on the second-hand market. If you've ever explored the underground retail tunnels below New York City's Chinatown, you might not be surprised that there's some iffy shit going down at a storefront that calls itself Unique Hype Collection.
