I'm posting this in general because it seems this is the forum where a lot of people end up when they no longer have that crazy interest in sneakers. I'm looking for a little advice and hopefully this thread will help people in the future if they are looking at doing the same. I'm in the process of moving so I thought it was a good time to get rid of a portion of shoes. Last night I pulled about 1/4 of my shoes that I would like to get rid of. I've sold to Flight Club in the past and sell on ebay whenever I want to get rid of something but nothing like this.
So, I have 31 pairs of shoes, almost all Jordans, all size 12. Nothing spectacular, nothing rare.
Options I'm looking at
1. Ebay - I would clear around $7225
Pros - Make about $1,000 more than other options, set your own price
Cons - Will take a while to sell everything, dealing with ebay, paypal and buyers is NOT always easy or fun. Takes time to pack and ship everything. If you don't already sell on ebay, you won't get fair prices until you establish some feedback.
2. SoleSupremecy - They quoted $6225
Pros - Quick cash within a week, all 31 pairs gone
Cons - Less cash that grinding it out on ebay or other means, cost of shipping and insuring 31 pairs (I have no clue what the best way to ship a large amount is, going to be doing some legwork today - I usually use USPS to ship but I've heard UPS might be a better option for large packages?)
Other options (I'm not looking at these options but might be right for others)
Craigslist - Not a viable option in my area
Flight Club - I didn't really like selling through them. They get the best prices but they take a large percent, you still have to wait for the shoes to sell and you have to ship to them.
Selling groups (local or via FB or Instagram)
Other stores similar to SoleSupremecy or Flight Club
Selling on NT Buy/Sell - I have never used and @silkboi mentioned it might be more for individual pairs, not bulk.
Pros - helping out NT members, no ebay fees
Cons - Time of selling a large amount, still have to deal with individual shipping and packing of each pair, @mjmoney23 mentioned buyers sending lowball offers
I know this is personal decision and will vary from case-to-case. I'm personally leaning toward just selling the whole lot to SoleSupremecy and being done. Once I figure out the best way and cost to ship the, it'll help me decide for sure.
Thoughts and advice from anyone who has sole some of or all of a collection? Anything I am overlooking? Best way to ship 31 pairs of shoes? I'll update this thread with info as it comes in.
This is not a selling thread, please do not contact me regarding buying pairs. This is not a humble brag thread
