Guess it depends on the operation. There are Large and Small ones making reps eh. Once you get past partners, Im sure the grunts are getting whatever the minimum wage is. IDK. Reps are getting so good these day perhaps better known replicators pay a little more for skill. I doubt it though, cause at the end of the day its still just a shoe and factory workers in asia.
I buy reps and authentics and it really is getting hard to tell the difference depending on what teir rep you buy. The batches of said reps vary from booty to 1:1. For example, I also bought a mid teir Jordan 1 Low Travis Scott for 45 dollars to go with those 4s. This is one of the several QCs pics of what showed up in hand in my warehouse. The shit isnt 1:1 if you know what you are looking for, but its very close. This Fugazi is bellissimo. If I were shady I could resell it to some dope for an easy 1k+.
