Profit Ratings
Understanding the Color Grading System in Drop Channels
To help you quickly decide which drops are worth your time and money, we use a color grading system in each drop channel. This system is designed to show the expected profitability and risk level of every release — from guaranteed wins to personal-only cops.
Here’s a breakdown of what each color grade means:
🟢 Full Send – Easy Money
These are the best of the best.
High demand, limited supply, and strong resale margins.
These drops are almost guaranteed profit — no hesitation needed.
We recommend going all in if your budget allows.
🟢🟡 Profitable – Low Risk
Still solid plays with good potential.
There’s a slight chance you might need to return the item if the market dips.
Most items in this category do resell, but not as instantly or confidently as full sends.
Recommended for resellers with a bit of experience.
🟡 Moderate Profit – Time Sensitive
These items offer smaller profits and often depend on speed.
You’ll want to list them immediately after purchase to catch the initial market demand.
If you wait too long, prices may drop and eat into your margin.
Great for quick flips or newer resellers looking to build capital.
🔴🟡 Risky – Sell Local if Possible
There’s potential to profit, but it usually requires local resale (e.g., Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, or sneaker meetups).
Online resale may result in a break-even or small loss after fees and shipping.
Only recommended for those with strong local selling networks or experience in creative flipping.
🔴 Personal Use – Not for Resale
These items have little to no resale value.
They’re not worth copping unless you personally want or need the product.
Good for collecting, gifting, or use — not for profit.
How to Use This System
Scan the color at the top of each drop channel or post.
Use it to prioritize your time, budget, and energy.
If you're new, stick to 🟢 and 🟢🟡 drops until you get comfortable.
This grading system is here to help you make smarter, faster decisions — so you can maximize your wins and minimize wasted effort.
