Where do you stand when buying shoes?

I'm a big sneakerhead, got a bunch of Jordans. I would love to cop a pair of Yeezy 350's someday but authentically by buying them when Adidas or other retailers drop some every couple of months or so. Their retail price is $200 but because of the shoe's limited quantity, they sell out extremely fast (within seconds online) and have a resale value of over $1000 on Ebay. This exclusiveness of the shoe simply adds to its value in the eyes of us sneakerheads. But yeah I hope one day I get lucky enough to grab my own pair online before it sells out
