I'll give this a bump. Surprised no one is biting. Brand new $170.

I talked to Shug about this a while ago. They're $170 before coupons, with free returns/exchanges, in your size, brand new. Used stuff generally sells for 1/2 new. $20 discount is common, and the new model is being released, which puts a value on these closer to $75. Personally, I wouldn't ever buy used shoes, but some people will. Good luck with your sale.
Well, given my shopping experience the last month for the Romaleos I would have to disagree. Currently, the only places that have them in stock brand new are Eastbay (and their subsidiaries) @$170 (and these are exempt from any coupons), Nike @ $170 (not a single coupon in the last month these qualified for), Rogue @ $170 (again, no coupons), third party Amazon sellers @ $222.22 - $329.77, and Ebay with prices for brand new starting at $147 and going way up from there. The price I set it @ is commensurate (below actually) for what they are going for on Ebay used.
I've been selling used electronics (computer components mainly) for 15 years, my experience has been that used items, at least in the case of aforementioned items, sell for much more than 1/2 the brand new price. But maybe I'm not too familiar with the used fitness equipment market, in which case considering your much more extensive experience, I will lower the price of these.
Price now $107.

I can sell a year-old iPhone for almost 80% the original cost of it brand new (unsubsidized, full retail cost). I know because I do this every year when the new model comes out.
Shoes, especially specialty shoes, are a different story. I wouldn't put them in the same category as everything else in the fitness equipment world, because I'd imagine that used belts would be picked up much more quickly than used wraps, straps, singlets and weightlifting shoes.
You have to price these for the budget-conscious (i.e. someone shopping on price and not brand) rather than someone looking to score a deal on Romaleos.
This price is within spitting distance of what you can get a NIB pair for with free shipping (with coupon).
I have a pair of adipowers and I love them. Would love another pair of Romaleos just for the kicks though. I would buy this if it was size 10
It's possible there isn't one right this second, deals come and go. I do remember these threads from a few months ago, though, where Romaleos were available for $136 and $148 from Eastbay. I showed Shug the Adipowers on camelcamel, they dropped to $110 in the last year.
$136 - Nike Men's Romaleos II on sale 135.99 - Bodybuilding.com Forums
$148 - Nike Romaleos II: $148 Shipped - Bodybuilding.com Forums
There certainly isn't one from the retailers I mentioned. Eastbay last had them on last November. I didn't look at the bodybuilding.com forums, but the links you provided appear to be referring to the same sale eastbay had that I mentioned just above, in December of 2015 (that's the most recent sale on these my search yielded).
As I said, the price I set for a pair used half a dozen times is below what they are selling for on eBay, the biggest second hand market on earth.
People don't have to buy from me. I put them up here discounted, compared to my post on eBay, out of a sense of connection to this forum.
