EBay also asks for ssn once you reach the threshold.

I normally use goat for DS stuff, and eBay for used. But the more platforms you have your stuff one, better chance it sells… just make sure to take it down where it doesn’t sell, if it sells somewhere.

The threshold is $5k this year. Now is that $5k gross money (pre eBay fees & shipping removed) or net fees, i.e, what you are actually getting paid out. Just curious what number they use for the 1099.

And assuming they are ready for it. Last year was supposed to be $600 but they weren't ready and kept it at the prior limit. 🤦🏻‍♂️
 
I think it’s pre-fees, but I’m not 100% on that.

Tax when you buy item (depending on state you live in), tax when buyer buys it (again, depending on state), then tax the seller… seems legit.
 
1099s usually state what they paid out to you, so that would be net of seller fees. If not, you would just deduct those.

Been moving my DS stuff on Goat lately. It's moving but not fast enough. Recently did an inventory and I came upon things I forgot I even had. Is StockX still a good option? Never did eBay for anything. Is that the best way to get rid of used shoes?

Used goat or eBay
Ds of course scamX
 
anyone in LA have experiences moving shoes to any local spots? RIF / FCLA / etc? Trying to move some stuff around 10-20 pairs at a time.

Can't speak to LA but all in-person spots I've ever gone to are complete scams. They underpay for whatever you offer, then overcharge anybody buying. Which is why their storefronts have tons of shoes and nobody in them any time I look.

If you have a pair of shoes you're pretty sure is worth $200 minimum, they'll offer you $65 maximum, then charge anybody coming in there $275. I mean I get it, they have a brick and mortar storefront and they gotta pay rent and overhead and other costs.

But an actual reseller storefront...lately that's the last place I'd take shoes. Maybe RIF could be different because I've seen more than a few actual deals on their pages online. Best of luck to you.
 
Definitely downsized my collection a bit. I still have a good amount of pairs I don’t wear or serve no purpose currently, but I feel a lot better having a tighter sneaker rotation of shoes to wear.
 
Been coping Nikes on discount since people moved on to other brands and Nike been desperate to move inventory

Now is the best time to stock up for less

If y'all don't mind sharing and if I haven't asked already...how many pairs do y'all cop in a year?

I think Ive averaged around 20-40 pairs a year since 2021.
 
Between 2020 and 2023 I copped about 30-40 shoes, and I thought that was a lot. I haven't bought or received any new shoes since August or October of last year. (Can't remember exactly.)

Off loaded about 20 shoes this year and currently sitting at <60. While I would like to shrink down the collection more, I'm more so focused on not buying anymore. There are many things I would like to do and places I would like to travel to. Plus, I have a son now, so it changes everything. Let him rock the "heat," just give me clean, comfortable, and functional.
 
In the past year not counting returns, I'm probably right around 20. I'm probably fine with basketball shoes cause I'm running through those and use most pairs. My problem is probably casual/retros, which I haven't been wearing cause I'm not trying to go to places and schmooze or just wear stuff on shopping runs to look cool. Also it's probably not great that I love 4s but they are so not comfortable for my feet. I'm about to convince myself I never really liked 4s, that it was flight 89s the whole time :lol:
 
Bought 30 (so far) and have sold 14, so net purchases is at 16 pairs. Few years back I sold so many pairs, I was at negative in pick ups. Definitely need to get better at that, with it being easier to purchase pairs, makes self control a little more difficult to practice.

This is strictly purchases regardless of outcome (whether returned, sold, kept, or resold) and include multiple sizes of the same shoes too.
  • 2022: 115 pairs
  • 2023: 37 pairs
  • 2024 so far: 20 pairs
My best year was in 2015 when I bought only 10 or 11 pairs.
 
Are those numbers just sneakers?!

Like I bought maybe 10 pairs this year so far, but that included workout shoes, some Yeezy slides, loafers and boots
