Some people don’t mind spending a lot of money on their sneakers, but will they pay $4,000?
Getting Ahead of the Competition
Every company likes to get ahead of their competition and in order to do this they have to be really creative.
Jesus Shoes Filled With Holy Water
MSCHF is a creative arts company in Brooklyn that came up with the idea for the Jesus Shoes, then took it a step further and had the soles filled with Holy water.
Nike Air Max 97 is The Foundation
The company simply purchased a pair of Nike Air Max 97 sneakers for about $160.
Stepping It Up A Notch
Then MSCHF then took the sneakers and completely modified them with the addition of a figure of Jesus on a crucifix as a charm, along with adding holy water straight from the River Jordan blessed by a priest into the soles of the sneakers.
The Big Sale
These modified sneakers dubbed as Jesus Shoes were then put on sale for the price of $1,425 and sold within a minute.
The ReSale
The buyer has now put the sneaker up for sale again at $4,000.
Although the Stock X site is current listing the last sale at $2,108 and the highest bid at $5,267.
Other MSCHF Creations
MSCHF is not your mainstream creative arts company. They have a mandate of releasing a new project twice a month.
Some of their other creations have been:
A new font called Times Newer Roman. Making it easier for students to meet term paper requirements with text as the new font is bigger.
Internet Plug In. Allows users to make Wikipedia pages look like authentic sources. Another plus for students.
Strange Sales With High Prices
While these Walk On Water shoes are creating quite a stir they have not been the strangest thing every sold. One of the biggest selling platforms on line has seen some pretty strange sales.
Some Wacky Ebay Sales
Guinea Pig Armour
I guess for those who own a guinea pig protecting them is not something that would be considered whacky but going to the point of using guinea pig armour just might be. If you think this is amazing then you will find the winning bid of $24,300. Mind boggling. However the deal never went through and it eventually sold for $1,150. The good news is that the money went to the Guinea Pig rescue.
Coca Cola Cans
Yes these have become a collectors items, and are a very popular product on Ebay. Some of them have sold for as high as $11,000. The ones that have experienced factory error are the most sought after. One example was when a near empty can was sold. The buyer threw the can out then found it would have probably sold for around for $15,000 pounds.
Forehead Ad
One desperate student needing to raise money offered the use of his forehead as advertising space. He was taken up on his offer by Snorestop and made $37,375. For his efforts
Most people don’t have any difficulties on finding items to spend their money on, but there just doesn’t seem to be any limits as to what will sell.
