Sitting describes items that remain available without selling out—they're just sitting there, unsold. 'Those are still sitting' indicates a release didn't generate expected demand. Sitting status provides market intelligence: if something is sitting, demand is lower than supply, and resale values are unlikely to justify markup. Sitting can result from overproduction, weak design, poor timing, or simply misreading the market. The observation isn't always negative—some people specifically seek sitting items because they're available without competition or premium. 'Sitting at retail' is particularly useful intel: you can still purchase at original price without entering resale market. Monitoring what sits versus what sells out helps understand brand demand patterns and predict future releases. Sitting is the opposite of selling out instantly; it's the brick outcome on the hype spectrum.
