Maybe after a couple of seasons, all of the grails that are acquired all throughout the seasons can trade up or be equivalent to the nike mags? That would be sick!
You absolutely got LAZY. Come on man. Why didn’t you go through the whole process? As amazing as the Diors are, people looked forward to these episodes every week. And you got BAILED out AGAIN and ended it the way it shouldn’t have ended. if not for the Unfair Tradeblock trades and people just literally helping you out. The process is completely unrealistic the way you did it. Do better Seth! Honestly Diors are my dream shoe. But hope he makes it FAIR this next time around.
@@BrilliantDominance he actually ended the series with $4,700+ lmfao. Selling the yeezy 2 to himself and getting a discount from another youtuber aint the way to go. Stef might’ve even just lent him the shoes wahahaha just for the content. Also, what’s the sense of getting a grail that you bought for “$20” if u arent even considering wearing it?? SO LAME!!!!!!
That is crazy but I feel a little disappointed. The fact the seller said, "Since its Seth Fowler....". I don't know. I feel like a regular person could not pull this off. I enjoyed the series overall but I am a little disappointed in the outcome.
@@link75e Definitely. Towards the end of the series it seem like Seth was tired of the grind and wanted to end the series. Bought an expensive pair from himself and buying his grail from his buddy at a discount was his way out of this series. It's an equivalent of a director or writer of a movie ending a series on lazy writing just because it was convenient.
The fact that the seller decided to 'take a bit of a loss because it's Seth Fowler' completely invalidates the whole transaction for me. People weren't happy about the trades for the exact same reason, and you tried to change that! But this on the final episode leaves a bit of a stink on it for me. The best thing about this series was that it was relatable - theoretically anyone with $20 could do what you were doing. This completely invalidates that. I guess that's just my opinion.
It’s a bit surreal that this is done! What I’ve gathered from all the comments is that for season 2, most people want to see you build the collection in a way relatable to most (I.e not selling to people who know who Seth is) and sticking to the final goal (either build a collection, or stick to the planned grail) Either way, this was probably my favourite TH-cam series I regularly watch!
We spent an entire series for you to sell the most expensive sneaker in the collection to yourself and for your good friend who is not hurting for money to lower the price on a pair of shoes just for you. This series was supposed to show people they could build a collection with 20 bucks. What I think it showed them is, it pays to be Seth Fowler. But as a small content creator, I’d kill to have the benefits you do. So I can’t be that angry.
Well he was also trying to rush the series, he did have a bit of a cheat code; but it's still possible for the average person trying to do this, it will just take longer, and require a. It more work. I think he just didn't want to do the whole reseller route, go go outlets buy out the entire size run of shoes and price hike like the real resellers do to make some quick cash.
Like a couple of other people, I don’t know how I feel about the discount you got “because it’s Seth Fowler.” It’s like being so close to the finish line, then just cheating your way to the end. Nonetheless, it was a very entertaining series I enjoyed watching.
@@PiranhaVS what about the yeezys he sold to himself? I bet I could go back and watch every episode and pick up on similar stuff and get the actual amount he made off the 20 dollars
So fake. Use your youtube celebrity to get ~25% the sneakers and then you "sold youself" some shoes to make the 7500. All fake for the click bait titles and thumbnail
Idk man, I’m a huge fan of this show, but this put a sour taste in my mouth. I’m sorry 😞 2 things in this episode alone a normal person couldn’t do, 1 buy their own $2800+ sneaker (also, the proof shown wasn’t middle), 2 have name recognition that allows people to give almost a $3000 discount on super grail sneakers.
I dont think that's the point. The series is to show starting from 20.00 and obtaining something cool. The specific shoe is irrelevant, there are plenty of grails you could get for 7k+
Glad you got something you like, but those Dior’s are definitely not Mags. The series was fun, but the ending doesn’t make me want to watch another season of it.
The Dior 1s don't excite me the way the Nike MAGs do (Not because of the price), but I'm happy that you ended the season off in a high note with a pair you seem to be really passionate about!

He set the bar to high since the beginning . It was not possible for him to buy Nike Mags only with reselling shoes from thrift stores. ( He has been extremely lucky sometimes also, wich can't happen always) However it was a good series in general.

@@nematoad Not many resellers who start from $20 will have that capital to just buy a $2,400 shoe off themselves though, thats the point. He's just done that and tradeblock to accelerate the series.
@@gabriursa exactly, sure it makes the series go by faster, but selling stuff you already own to yourself because "oh shit I need almost 3 grand quick" and then repeatedly saying "yea I got here from 20 dollars" is dumb as hell, if I say I'm going to trade up to buy a Bentley from 20 dollars but I buy a Bentley from myself that I already own for 20 dollars, technically I did, but if people are dumb enough to believe in the sentiment then you probably can't reason with them
Mixed feelings about buying shoes for yourself. On the one hand, I want Seth Fowler to have as many shoes as he wants that he loves. On the other hand, it’s not really true to the idea of using $20 to thrift your way up to grails. At any point in time you can increase your sneaker fund by paying in to yourself. Either way I’ll continue to watch every episode going forward
The Yeezys are still sitting on his eBay. It doesn’t even look like he actually bought them for himself. Just needed a route to get him to the “$7500” price tag. Pretty lame.
@@joshsingleton711 now I never said I have a problem. That being said, it’s entertaining when Seth is able to buy cool shoes. BUT it does kinda break the idea that anyone can start a collection with $20 and get grails when you realize most of this series wasn’t possible without the help of others.
@@TheRealCptObvious1 You're right. You never said you had a problem with it. Those are my words. I just had to realize that at some point it turned from a cool adventure to more of entertainment. I was just really let down that he got shoes from another famous youtuber who can afford to take a loss.
Cool series but honestly I’m disappointed with the result. Should have gotten the Mags as originally stated. He also had a lot of help because of his name recognition. His friend gave him a deal on the Diors. Not a realistic outcome for a regular person.
I'm pretty simple, my grails were the first two pair of Jordans I got as a kid in the early 90's. Black Metallic 5's and Bordeaux 7's. I bought and sold sneakers off SNKRS, FLX and going to the outlets here in Houston on lunch breaks and on the weekends. I used the profits to get retros of my original kicks. And I have a few more that are paid off from profits as well. Jordan 4 UNC's, Red Thunder 4's, Raging Bull 5's, Moonlight 5's, Playoff 12's, Patchwork 3's, Bordeaux 6's, Electric Green 6's, couple pair of 1's, Red Flint 13's, Blue Flint 13's, Flint 7's, and J's for my kids and wife too. Not a bad for a little over a year and being a side hustle.
Just a thought. Selling to yourself shouldn’t count towards the sneaker fund. If you’re allowed to sell to yourself, then you could potentially sell all the shoes you bought to yourself, which kind of defeats the purpose of flipping shoes to meet an end goal.
I agree plus the guy he bought them from gave him a discount cause he's seth fowler and it's for the show. But on the other side, all reality tv is setup, so nothing new
@@nccfball this is why I stopped watching Harrison :/ he did the same thing and it was like he used the shops and their owners and got crazy good deals and the shop got the exposure but it’s still like cmon you said in the beginning it was going to be fair and then copped out
Unlucky the MAGs would ve been way more hype and its kinda anticlimactic having a friend selling you the shoe for even cheaper than marketprice but still a great series seth.
Congrats. Enjoyed the journey since the first episode. The only thing missing in this finale is you rocking that grails in a montage of some sorts, since it would be cathartic. For us viewers, your wins are also ours, so, remember to share them with us too for next time. Can't wait for the next one!
Honestly I just don’t get the point of making it a series about creating a sneaker collection starting with $20 and make a point to get one shoe and in the end there is no collection because everything was sold AND the initial shoe isn’t the focus. Quickly turned into more of a resale series, but I finished it straight through and hopefully next season is better.
You didn't really buy them from a $20 because you bought shoes from yourself to make it happen. I think that shouldn't have been allowed... my opinion. Cool series none the less... congrats!
He could have sold them for what he paid himself, he just wanted to keep the shoes. He shows the offer he was made so he could sell them for that if he wanted to do that. But the pair was a grail for him. It definitely did feel cheap that he bought the final shoes from a friend for much less than he'd have to pay for resell, but he's been using his name to rush the series and get it done quickly, or faster than the average person trying this. But he compressed so much and used his name/position to keep the "weekly" aspects of the series going, and keep making content from it, as the average person might got on long dry runs and find nothing or stagnant on the overall progress of doin this. He did this in less than one year, doing this for the average person will definitely take longer.
@@gilbertoflores7397 He easily could have made a fake eBay offer to show as proof. Nonetheless it feels cheap and destroys the whole purpose of the series. The new slogan should be "How to get your grails with 20 bucks. Oh and you need $2800 extra"
@@Michael_Schumacher that's a bit of an unfair way of looking at it, he did show multiple offers, and said he picked an average bid, not the least or highest bid. The shoes are around that value, probably even a bit more, because he was trying to give himself a deal its not too bad of a thing to do. You also need to consider that the final shoes he wanted came up for a too good to be true offer and he needed to liquidate his inventory to pay for the shoes, something like that might take longer to get a payout than he'd like, so its not a cheap thing to do, buying the the Dior 1 from his friend for a significant discount is definitely a cop out, but buying the shoes off himself is something he's done a few times during this series, he usually did it for cheapest price he could too.
@@gilbertoflores7397 I agree that it is a rather unfavorable way of looking into things, I just wanted to show the possibility. Normally I also wouldn't complain about it, but that it happened in the finale left a sour taste in my mouth. He shouldn't have made a deal with his friend if he was 7K short in funds at that time. The whole ending feels rushed because of it and kinda cheated too, especially because of the 3K discount at the end that no normal person would get.
This was a fun series and I enjoyed the journey to get to crazy grails like the Diors. This series has inspired me to add more thrift gems to add to my sneaker collection and that message at the end really touched me as someone looking for a job on the hunt for something similar to the collection you built in 11 months. Can't wait for season 2!
@@bryceefox4251 the shoe was 7500 payout. Payout isn’t a discount, it’s what shoes are sold for. The guy lost money that’s why he wasn’t sure. Him saying “because it’s Seth Fowler” wasn’t him saying he was doing it bc he has clout. If your friend wanted to buy something you’d probably give them a discount, it’s the same thing
Seth I like you man but you are sending kids the wrong message with the way this was done. Selling sneakers is time consuming and more difficult than most think. Notice how half of everything was sold for a loss that you couldn’t move. Then certain things you can’t move or want to keep you’ll just randomly be like I purchased these from myself like no bro that’s not how that works lol. If you keep a shoe worth $2.8k you are out that much money. End of story. No one has an endless fund they can just pull from to pay themselves to keep a sneaker. As soon as you started doing all that combined with the Tradeblock bs this series lost all credibility. I’m not saying it wasn’t entertaining but the purpose of the series is to show kids that with just $20 they can grind and hustle to get a really dope collection. It started out that way but you slowly ruined it with all the nonsense to try and accelerate the series.
I was really hyped about the series but you can tell he lost his passion for thrifting throughout the series. Everything was rushed and instead of being thrifted, most of the sneakers were traded or were from drops that were later sold.
@@Cheezehead35 yea I don’t think he expected it to be so much physical work and for the series as a whole to gain this much traction. I don’t think his heart is in thrifting. He just enjoys making content and promoting his sock brand lol
My jaw actually dropped when you said you were going to Winnipeg. That’s my home town and nobody ever comes here for anything! Congrats on getting the grails! This series was awesome!
Canada doesn't have as much resale culture as the US. Even in Toronto, there's way more stuff sitting and even on SNKRS. But when I went to LA a month ago, not a single retro on shelves.
YES full review of the Air Diors please! Congrats Seth… but I wanna definitely see another new series bc I appreciate the hustle and the journey it took you to end it.
cant believe season 1 is over just like that. hopefully season 2 comes soon cos its been a weekly thing or so to watch the series. all this for $20? words cant describe how proud and happy i am to see you reach this level in the series!
For series 2 make a list of like 10ish shoes that are personal grails, and try to get each one of the shoes. It would be cool to see more than one pair, and more pairs stay in the collection
That's crazy in less than a year too. You finished the series. Even though it wasn't the most organic and you definitely benefitted because you're a TH-camr to some extent. That's still kind of incredible you do so.
The fact that he said "just because it's Seth Falor" is why this series lost it's charm. Too much flexing your name to get to the goal faster but sacrificing the interest value of your videos which in turn completely defeats the purpose of all of this.
NGL it seems like you just wanted to end the project for awhile now first using trades to get deals, then just buying your own stock, to this a grail that was never the goal and a person giving a discount because its you. Was a really cool idea and inspiring with a meh of a end. Hopefully next time if their ever is a season 2 some rules to the challenge are laid out and a refinement of what you want from the project so the burnout isint as real.
That was the Saucony Endorphin Pro, a $200 super shoe in the original colorway that many athletes wore in the Olympic Trials. Good luck if you want to find something like that for $12 again ;)
You are the best reviewers out there and I couldn’t believe you didn’t drop your review when it came out. You have to do one my guy this is crazy fire.
Great series, it got me into thrifting and I've found some great clothes and shoes from it, on top of making more sustainable purchases compared to always buying new stuff. Looking forward to the next series! It would be cool if there were some different mini goals or challenges, like finding the best value at Goodwill, or buying only one brand for a week.
Hi Seth, thx for this series. It was truly a great season to watch. I'm sure a lot of us have done this in the past. I've been doing this for 5 years to buy myself all the grails, car, vacations and even my house. Everything is possible, if you put in the work. I hope everyone can understand this message. Thank you, take care, I hope you we get to see a season 2.
I still remember the first episode and the first trips to Goodwill. So awesome how much thus has all grown! Thanks so much for these episodes,and can't wait for season 2
Seth, your tips and series have inspired my entire collection, and from thrifting and trades I recently picked up one of my grails. The effort and time you put into it inspired me to go for all the sneakers I have now, and I’m pumped for Season 2!
Flipping sneakers is super difficult. Especially when you don’t have friends or recognition discounts. I think you’re excitement was more for the demand of the series end vs. achieving your initial goal.
Honestly, I really hope you'll unDS these, they're crazy sneakers and even though they're really expensive they definitely deserve to be worn after all this work and effort put into acquiring these. Love ya man, awesome series, can't wait for season 2
In the next season please do sneaker meetups as they allow for you to connect with viewers as well as buy and sell for cash on the spot for any type of sneakers.
Bro do more than just thrift stores and trade block. The second half of this series just felt so stale and if you're doing season 2 things need to be different. I watched every episode and will continue to but man fell off and took the easy way
This message is to all the people who are OG and have been here since episode 1. Seth I’m so proud of you I actually started my own $20 sneaker collection and managed to get my grail(off white Chicago) your a huge inspiration to me. I love your socks and my favourites are the Hess kicks collab. Again congrats on coping a grail. 🙏🏼 thanks for bringing smiles to my face and others every week
Series was fun but this quite an anticlimactic ending. I get that the Air Mags shot up in price drastically, but settling for a discounted Dior Jordan 1 doesn’t feel right.
Sorry Seth, this was a big let down. It's clear that you just wanted to get the series over with, which is perfectly fine. Mags are out of the question at those prices, so just sell off what you had for reasonable prices and tells us its done. It's not a failure because we're here for the journey, not the Mags. But the losses, the $3k discount, the yeezy purchase for yourself....it's just a let down. We've all loved this series, and have no problems with you just calling it quits. $8k in your pocket after starting with $20 would've been a beautiful end to an awesome series. That said, still a supporter, appreciate you listening to the fans throughout the series, and excited for what comes next.
What a great way to end the series! Ive watched every single episode and they’ve all been worth my time. Thanks for the series, can’t wait for season 2!
Maaaaaan this is such a disappointment. This is literally like watching a movie that you are really enjoying, just to have the last act wrap everything up in 5 minutes in a confusing and unfair way. This is literally season 8 of Game of Thrones. Selling a big money pair to yourself and having someone you know cut you a MAJOR deal just makes it seem like you didn’t want to continue on with this, and undermines the actual goal you were trying to set out on. Loved this series man, but you fumbled at the goal line.
Great idea and you made it entertaining Seth, well done! Definitely looking forward to season 2! How about you theme your collection? You could thrift to obtain a colorway in Jordan 1-14, or all the important AirMax?
much love bro....super proud of you, from $20 to a Grail.....lets go!!!!

@@nematoad I agree. He he sold a market listing to himself. They would've sold anyways for those prices at the very minimum.
@@nematoad Not many resellers who start from $20 will have that capital to just buy a $2,400 shoe off themselves though, thats the point. He's just done that and tradeblock to accelerate the series.
@@gabriursa exactly, sure it makes the series go by faster, but selling stuff you already own to yourself because "oh shit I need almost 3 grand quick" and then repeatedly saying "yea I got here from 20 dollars" is dumb as hell, if I say I'm going to trade up to buy a Bentley from 20 dollars but I buy a Bentley from myself that I already own for 20 dollars, technically I did, but if people are dumb enough to believe in the sentiment then you probably can't reason with them
Mixed feelings about buying shoes for yourself. On the one hand, I want Seth Fowler to have as many shoes as he wants that he loves. On the other hand, it’s not really true to the idea of using $20 to thrift your way up to grails. At any point in time you can increase your sneaker fund by paying in to yourself.
Either way I’ll continue to watch every episode going forward
i mean he said that was an offer he got that he didn't take
The Yeezys are still sitting on his eBay. It doesn’t even look like he actually bought them for himself. Just needed a route to get him to the “$7500” price tag. Pretty lame.
I have way more of a problem with him buying a shoe from Tom than him buying shoes from himself.
@@joshsingleton711 now I never said I have a problem. That being said, it’s entertaining when Seth is able to buy cool shoes. BUT it does kinda break the idea that anyone can start a collection with $20 and get grails when you realize most of this series wasn’t possible without the help of others.
@@TheRealCptObvious1 You're right. You never said you had a problem with it. Those are my words. I just had to realize that at some point it turned from a cool adventure to more of entertainment. I was just really let down that he got shoes from another famous youtuber who can afford to take a loss.
When the guy agreed to drop the price on the phone 'just because its Seth Fowler' was a pretty fitting and consistent end for this series tbh
Cool series but honestly I’m disappointed with the result. Should have gotten the Mags as originally stated. He also had a lot of help because of his name recognition. His friend gave him a deal on the Diors. Not a realistic outcome for a regular person.
I'm pretty simple, my grails were the first two pair of Jordans I got as a kid in the early 90's. Black Metallic 5's and Bordeaux 7's. I bought and sold sneakers off SNKRS, FLX and going to the outlets here in Houston on lunch breaks and on the weekends. I used the profits to get retros of my original kicks. And I have a few more that are paid off from profits as well. Jordan 4 UNC's, Red Thunder 4's, Raging Bull 5's, Moonlight 5's, Playoff 12's, Patchwork 3's, Bordeaux 6's, Electric Green 6's, couple pair of 1's, Red Flint 13's, Blue Flint 13's, Flint 7's, and J's for my kids and wife too. Not a bad for a little over a year and being a side hustle.
Congratulations Seth! This was a great journey and I'm looking forward to season 2.
Nah buying shit from Tom Steffanik is a BS way to end this
it would be great if seth makes a compilation of some of the greatest finds and profit that he had throughout the series
Just a thought. Selling to yourself shouldn’t count towards the sneaker fund. If you’re allowed to sell to yourself, then you could potentially sell all the shoes you bought to yourself, which kind of defeats the purpose of flipping shoes to meet an end goal.
I agree plus the guy he bought them from gave him a discount cause he's seth fowler and it's for the show. But on the other side, all reality tv is setup, so nothing new
@@nccfball this is why I stopped watching Harrison :/ he did the same thing and it was like he used the shops and their owners and got crazy good deals and the shop got the exposure but it’s still like cmon you said in the beginning it was going to be fair and then copped out
for season two, no more buying shoes off yourself and using trade block. buying shoes off yourself is basically cheating by tech bro.
Unlucky the MAGs would ve been way more hype and its kinda anticlimactic having a friend selling you the shoe for even cheaper than marketprice but still a great series seth.
Congrats. Enjoyed the journey since the first episode. The only thing missing in this finale is you rocking that grails in a montage of some sorts, since it would be cathartic. For us viewers, your wins are also ours, so, remember to share them with us too for next time. Can't wait for the next one!
Selling to myself is the biggest loop hole ever
Honestly I just don’t get the point of making it a series about creating a sneaker collection starting with $20 and make a point to get one shoe and in the end there is no collection because everything was sold AND the initial shoe isn’t the focus. Quickly turned into more of a resale series, but I finished it straight through and hopefully next season is better.
You didn't really buy them from a $20 because you bought shoes from yourself to make it happen. I think that shouldn't have been allowed... my opinion. Cool series none the less... congrats!
He could have sold them for what he paid himself, he just wanted to keep the shoes. He shows the offer he was made so he could sell them for that if he wanted to do that. But the pair was a grail for him. It definitely did feel cheap that he bought the final shoes from a friend for much less than he'd have to pay for resell, but he's been using his name to rush the series and get it done quickly, or faster than the average person trying this. But he compressed so much and used his name/position to keep the "weekly" aspects of the series going, and keep making content from it, as the average person might got on long dry runs and find nothing or stagnant on the overall progress of doin this. He did this in less than one year, doing this for the average person will definitely take longer.
@@gilbertoflores7397 He easily could have made a fake eBay offer to show as proof. Nonetheless it feels cheap and destroys the whole purpose of the series. The new slogan should be "How to get your grails with 20 bucks. Oh and you need $2800 extra"
@@Michael_Schumacher that's a bit of an unfair way of looking at it, he did show multiple offers, and said he picked an average bid, not the least or highest bid. The shoes are around that value, probably even a bit more, because he was trying to give himself a deal its not too bad of a thing to do. You also need to consider that the final shoes he wanted came up for a too good to be true offer and he needed to liquidate his inventory to pay for the shoes, something like that might take longer to get a payout than he'd like, so its not a cheap thing to do, buying the the Dior 1 from his friend for a significant discount is definitely a cop out, but buying the shoes off himself is something he's done a few times during this series, he usually did it for cheapest price he could too.
@@gilbertoflores7397 I agree that it is a rather unfavorable way of looking into things, I just wanted to show the possibility. Normally I also wouldn't complain about it, but that it happened in the finale left a sour taste in my mouth. He shouldn't have made a deal with his friend if he was 7K short in funds at that time. The whole ending feels rushed because of it and kinda cheated too, especially because of the 3K discount at the end that no normal person would get.
This was a fun series and I enjoyed the journey to get to crazy grails like the Diors. This series has inspired me to add more thrift gems to add to my sneaker collection and that message at the end really touched me as someone looking for a job on the hunt for something similar to the collection you built in 11 months. Can't wait for season 2!
Bitter sweet! Congrats on your accomplishment. My fav TH-cam series sad it’s over but can’t wait until the next season !
Man congratulations. It has been a pleasure following you on this journey. Thanks for bringing us along.
we 100% need a season 2 Seth!
Change this series to "Seth uses his name to get sneakers at a $2500 discount"
OH AND he got it from his friend, Tom, another succesful sneaker youtuber?? What a flop. Such a disappointment to end this series.
Every comment you’ve made on his channel is hating. Maybe do something with your life?
@@GVNKPLR i mean he’s not completely wrong though
@@bryceefox4251 the shoe was 7500 payout. Payout isn’t a discount, it’s what shoes are sold for. The guy lost money that’s why he wasn’t sure. Him saying “because it’s Seth Fowler” wasn’t him saying he was doing it bc he has clout. If your friend wanted to buy something you’d probably give them a discount, it’s the same thing
This series needs to be on Netflix been here since the first don’t ever stop this series please
Seth I like you man but you are sending kids the wrong message with the way this was done. Selling sneakers is time consuming and more difficult than most think. Notice how half of everything was sold for a loss that you couldn’t move. Then certain things you can’t move or want to keep you’ll just randomly be like I purchased these from myself like no bro that’s not how that works lol. If you keep a shoe worth $2.8k you are out that much money. End of story. No one has an endless fund they can just pull from to pay themselves to keep a sneaker. As soon as you started doing all that combined with the Tradeblock bs this series lost all credibility. I’m not saying it wasn’t entertaining but the purpose of the series is to show kids that with just $20 they can grind and hustle to get a really dope collection. It started out that way but you slowly ruined it with all the nonsense to try and accelerate the series.
Dude rushed the series to literally just keep doing the series in the future. Literally made no sense.
He wanted out, you could see it the past few episodes.
You can tell he wasn’t passionate anymore probably got tired of going store to store and not finding anything
I was really hyped about the series but you can tell he lost his passion for thrifting throughout the series. Everything was rushed and instead of being thrifted, most of the sneakers were traded or were from drops that were later sold.
@@Cheezehead35 yea I don’t think he expected it to be so much physical work and for the series as a whole to gain this much traction. I don’t think his heart is in thrifting. He just enjoys making content and promoting his sock brand lol
My jaw actually dropped when you said you were going to Winnipeg. That’s my home town and nobody ever comes here for anything! Congrats on getting the grails! This series was awesome!
Canada doesn't have as much resale culture as the US. Even in Toronto, there's way more stuff sitting and even on SNKRS. But when I went to LA a month ago, not a single retro on shelves.
smash burger got a lot of free advertising during this series
YES full review of the Air Diors please! Congrats Seth… but I wanna definitely see another new series bc I appreciate the hustle and the journey it took you to end it.
cant believe season 1 is over just like that. hopefully season 2 comes soon cos its been a weekly thing or so to watch the series. all this for $20? words cant describe how proud and happy i am to see you reach this level in the series!
Thank you so much for putting the work into making these videos and entertaining me and my dad for the past 9+ months
You can tell he was actually excited, congrats Seth
For series 2 make a list of like 10ish shoes that are personal grails, and try to get each one of the shoes. It would be cool to see more than one pair, and more pairs stay in the collection
Honestly the best TH-cam series I’ve ever seen
Great series. Can’t wait for another $20 sneaker collect series. And yes. Please do a review of the Diors. Great work Seth.
That's crazy in less than a year too. You finished the series. Even though it wasn't the most organic and you definitely benefitted because you're a TH-camr to some extent. That's still kind of incredible you do so.
Easily my favorite series to ever come out on TH-cam! You heart and drive for sneaker culture is amazing 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great Job Seth! I followed the series since day 1 and it was very entertaining along the way!
And 2800$ of your "own" money.
The fact that he said "just because it's Seth Falor" is why this series lost it's charm. Too much flexing your name to get to the goal faster but sacrificing the interest value of your videos which in turn completely defeats the purpose of all of this.
Great closer seth, tradeblock helped but you did this yourself congrats
We love you here in Winnipeg Seth! Glad you were finally able to make it up here!
NGL it seems like you just wanted to end the project for awhile now first using trades to get deals, then just buying your own stock, to this a grail that was never the goal and a person giving a discount because its you. Was a really cool idea and inspiring with a meh of a end. Hopefully next time if their ever is a season 2 some rules to the challenge are laid out and a refinement of what you want from the project so the burnout isint as real.
Buying the Yeezys for yourself ruined everything... almost 3k...almost half of the amount that you made in more than 6 months... Disappointed.
Congratulations this is completely insane, this series was amazing!!! hug from Brazil🇧🇷
That was the Saucony Endorphin Pro, a $200 super shoe in the original colorway that many athletes wore in the Olympic Trials. Good luck if you want to find something like that for $12 again ;)
Both of my midroll ads were for Apothecary lol - Congrats dude, what an awesome feat. I'm hyped to see what you're planning next
You are the best reviewers out there and I couldn’t believe you didn’t drop your review when it came out. You have to do one my guy this is crazy fire.
I like the idea of season with the goal of getting a different shoe each time. Never missed an episode
Good to see Tom it’s been a while lol, AWESOME series
One is the better series on you tube. Great viewing! Well done fella xx
Great series, it got me into thrifting and I've found some great clothes and shoes from it, on top of making more sustainable purchases compared to always buying new stuff. Looking forward to the next series! It would be cool if there were some different mini goals or challenges, like finding the best value at Goodwill, or buying only one brand for a week.
Hi Seth, thx for this series.
It was truly a great season to watch.
I'm sure a lot of us have done this in the past. I've been doing this for 5 years to buy myself all the grails, car, vacations and even my house.
Everything is possible, if you put in the work. I hope everyone can understand this message.
Thank you, take care, I hope you we get to see a season 2.
I still remember the first episode and the first trips to Goodwill. So awesome how much thus has all grown! Thanks so much for these episodes,and can't wait for season 2
For season 2 you should try to get Jordan’s 1-14 in the OG colourways
Seth, your tips and series have inspired my entire collection, and from thrifting and trades I recently picked up one of my grails. The effort and time you put into it inspired me to go for all the sneakers I have now, and I’m pumped for Season 2!
This series goes to show that if you put hard work in, you can attain something you've always wanted. I can't wait for SZN2.
Crazy how the series is at an end! I did drop off a during the early second half, but super cool how you made it to end/an end!
Awesome Seth. This series was so rad to watch.
Flipping sneakers is super difficult. Especially when you don’t have friends or recognition discounts. I think you’re excitement was more for the demand of the series end vs. achieving your initial goal.
Need to come back next week for season 2!!! Can't wait! I've been enjoying your weekly videos of this series
Honestly, I really hope you'll unDS these, they're crazy sneakers and even though they're really expensive they definitely deserve to be worn after all this work and effort put into acquiring these. Love ya man, awesome series, can't wait for season 2
I remember tom stefaniuk was saying the dior 1s will be added to someone's mystery box a couple years back lol
I’m SAD the series is over, HAPPY you got a grail, and EXCITED for a future series 😄
Can’t wait for the documetary sponsor by apthcry
Good stuff Seth. Loved this series. Great Lunchbreak viewing once a week. Bring on Season 2.
In the next season please do sneaker meetups as they allow for you to connect with viewers as well as buy and sell for cash on the spot for any type of sneakers.
It was a good series/season but im still mad that you didn’t get the mags
Bro do more than just thrift stores and trade block. The second half of this series just felt so stale and if you're doing season 2 things need to be different. I watched every episode and will continue to but man fell off and took the easy way
This message is to all the people who are OG and have been here since episode 1. Seth I’m so proud of you I actually started my own $20 sneaker collection and managed to get my grail(off white Chicago) your a huge inspiration to me. I love your socks and my favourites are the Hess kicks collab. Again congrats on coping a grail. 🙏🏼 thanks for bringing smiles to my face and others every week
Well now every 2 weeks but still I agree😂
The Hess kicks Aprcry collab was def fire
Next time calculate all the gas and travel expenses as well. That really eats up those margins.
I was checking my yt to see if u posted at I got this noti the second I opened the app🤯
Imma binge this whole thing after some time. Love you seth!
What a phenomenal series 👏🏽
Absolutely loved this series
Series was fun but this quite an anticlimactic ending. I get that the Air Mags shot up in price drastically, but settling for a discounted Dior Jordan 1 doesn’t feel right.
Sorry Seth, this was a big let down. It's clear that you just wanted to get the series over with, which is perfectly fine. Mags are out of the question at those prices, so just sell off what you had for reasonable prices and tells us its done. It's not a failure because we're here for the journey, not the Mags. But the losses, the $3k discount, the yeezy purchase for yourself....it's just a let down. We've all loved this series, and have no problems with you just calling it quits. $8k in your pocket after starting with $20 would've been a beautiful end to an awesome series. That said, still a supporter, appreciate you listening to the fans throughout the series, and excited for what comes next.
Man this ending was super unsatisfying
What a great way to end the series! Ive watched every single episode and they’ve all been worth my time. Thanks for the series, can’t wait for season 2!
Maaaaaan this is such a disappointment. This is literally like watching a movie that you are really enjoying, just to have the last act wrap everything up in 5 minutes in a confusing and unfair way. This is literally season 8 of Game of Thrones. Selling a big money pair to yourself and having someone you know cut you a MAJOR deal just makes it seem like you didn’t want to continue on with this, and undermines the actual goal you were trying to set out on. Loved this series man, but you fumbled at the goal line.
Great idea and you made it entertaining Seth, well done! Definitely looking forward to season 2!
How about you theme your collection? You could thrift to obtain a colorway in Jordan 1-14, or all the important AirMax?
I mean, this is the best series on TH-cam. Hands down. 🤷🏾♂️💯 Thank you for the weekly heat! Can’t wait for what season 2 has in store. 🙏🏾
Congrats man. Awesome way to end the series!
What a series... loved every episode. Good job Seth!
