how do make a profit resellin jordans?

[Jake]

There would not be enough profit margin getting supplies at near retail price, you would probably end up going to the dark side, selling knock-offs which are more easily obtainable at a low cost in order to make a profit.

There are a couple of sites that have walk in stores selling used vintage Nike's on consignment (not cheap)
CoolShoeShine.com
flightclubny.com

Getting people to send you their used stuff for essentially no cost to you would be another way to go, although scaling up to a range of models and sizes wold be a challenge.

flightclubny.com is a vintage sneaker site with 3 stores in NY & LA
