So what’s a ‘brick’? I think I first started hearing the term ‘brick’ (in this context) right around the time the Supreme Brick came out…from what I remember, it didn’t have much resale value at the time…maybe double retail. But it’s since grown pretty high…4x or 5x retail. The absurdity of the Supreme Brick is legendary, but I think the resellers definition of a brick derived from the initial backlash against the Supreme Brick. I came to understand the term ‘brick’ essentially meant something that everyone wanted to buy with the sole intention of reselling but the resale value never got high enough to justify putting the initial effort into. ie: Lost opportunity cost. (That brick, man, smh. LOL. I remember seeing a Craigslist or FB Marketplace go viral about a dude who tried to snatch up as many Supreme bricks as possible in order to build a house, but after buying 1800 or so he realized they simply didn’t make enough so he was just trying to unload them).
