Hey all,
So as of yet, I don't own any Bape merchandise at all. I had wanted to make my first cop a color camo shark (black or blue), but I was out of state when they dropped.
My friend was there in the morning and he copped two: one red and one white.
He said he was willing to sell me the white one for $300.
I think the white sharks look good too, but my question is this:
Why is it that it seems any white Bape hoody is cheaper than a same hoody in a different color?
For those of you who own white hoodies, do they stain or get dirty easily? Is that why they are less sought after?
I want to make my first Bape cop a really good investment - I plan to wear it often and not just once or twice or whatever.
Do you think I should take up my friend on his offer for the white?
Or do you think I should wait it out and try and find a black or blue color camo shark for like maybe $400?
Thanks all.

I don't think they'd drop that low and obviously white gets dirty very easily..

take the white for 300 u dumdass. It's $2 above retail and the white shark is pretty nice. Just don't go running in the mud with it and make sure you have a good dry cleaner.
i don't think any sharks will sell for 400 tho...unless you have a hookup
don't even think about a black shark for 400...that is a pipe dream

I'd cop that white shark if i was you from your buddy. I have the worst luck with white hoodies but my T's are flawless lol. I dunno if you want to wear your hoody everyday if a white shark would be your best decision but its still a hot hoody anyway.

You won't see any sharks for $300 or even $400 for that matter. The white shark is fresh but its like anything else white...it will get dirty quicker.
If you want a shark, cop the white for $300.
If the color is that big of an issue for you then wait it out till something else drops in the store and cop it at retail.

Make sure it's in your size so you're sleeves aren't dangling like a monkey.
Otherwise it's gonna get proper filth. And if's your first piece of BAPE nonsense, I'd suspect you'll end up wearing it a lot!

Buy the white from him for 300, flip it, trade for the color you want.
OR
Resell it and with the money you make back buy the color you want.

Like Tab Said, Buy It For $300, Thats Dirt Cheap, Then Sell It For Double The Price & With The Money You Make Just Buy The Color You Want OR Just Simply Trade It For The Color You Want. . . IMO

If the white shark is your size. Take it. $300 is a steal.

Nothing wrong with white hoodies unless you smoke, just watch the sleeves as they get EXTREMELY dirty after a bit of sweat.

white hoodies may get dirty faster, but it's such a hot look. Just don't wear it everyday. I really think a white hoodie stands out.
