More and more people are buying sneakers, so changes in the sneaker market are inevitable. Just last month a large number of sneaker prices rose again on second-hand social media. Today we talk about why the price of these ordinary sneakers is going up and what sneaker stores are doing to keep people from overcharging. When sneakers go on sale, there are two common ways to buy them: online booking and a random selection of seats by computer or a lottery of Numbers at the sneaker store，but someone will always find a loophole in the rules and do something bad. In order to buy in bulk, some people use robots to line up in advance when booking online or for a paid service offline for retirees to line up. It is obvious that having a large number of seats in a small probability event has a higher probability of success in the end than just line up by yourself.
To reduce the problem, many sneaker stores have been using new ways. For example, you need to put on your sneakers and go to the designated place to get the shoe box after you get the purchasing qualification.
