Haha, it's not bad. I think for some of us, the mental and emotional weight we'd carry is just way too much than what we'd like to deal with, and perhaps the physical weight of it when it comes to having to move them all around. Yeah, I've heard great things about selling on Goat like others mentioned here. I've done eBay mostly and Craigslist. Poshmark, I've used for sales under $100 because the fees are friendlier to the pockets although it'll take longer because it's a smaller audience.
You'll get there one day! One tip is to just be aware of your sentiments towards some shoes. That's a non-commercialized version of saying "you gotta go Marie-Kondo on them ****s."
Damn, one a quarter is a great routine. That's been something I've been wanting to do, personally.
Yeah, that's pretty much the power of marketing. I deal with the same, too. For me, it's been about higher-priority things to look forward to in life, like saving for a house and financial literacy (thanks to my friend who introduced me to decluttering and personal finance stuff.) I'm not perfect by any means since I still go through phases, but at least it helped me boost my awareness after each phase.
What a great conversation this is, really. Shoes are still enjoyable, but we all grow and change, right? This might be weird, but I use Pinterest to organize my "collection goal" where it'd be the fewest/minimal amount of shoes I'd downsize to and stick with that. Then I see pictures of other shoes like those fire-*** Safari AM1s and be like "welp..." Not sure if anyone else here does something like this?
Be right back, gonna depress all the other shoe threads all around on NikeTalk.
