First things first, forget about thinking there’s ONE “best” place. It’s more like, what’s best *for you* and *your* shoes? I mean, are we talking gently used Jimmy Choos or some vintage Manolos that are practically museum pieces? Makes a difference, ya know?
eBay and Poshmark are usually top of mind, right? Everyone knows them. Good for getting a decent price and reaching a TON of people. BUT, and it’s a big BUT, they take a cut. Plus, you gotta deal with potentially annoying buyers. Like, seriously, who asks for *more* pictures of the sole of a shoe? Just buy the darn thing! (Okay, maybe that’s just me being impatient).
Then there’s the more bougie options, like Rebag. They specialize in luxury goods, so you MIGHT get more money for your really high-end stuff. But honestly, I kinda feel like they’re gonna be picky. Like, if there’s a *tiny* scratch, they might lowball you. Just a hunch. (And BTW, their main thing seems to be bags, but they do shoes, too).
And don’t forget the consignment route! There are online ones, like…well, I’m blanking on the names right now (oops!), but you can google ’em. Or, if you’re lucky enough to live near a super-chic consignment shop, that could be a good option too. The downside? You gotta share the profits, obvs. But the upside? Less hassle for you!
Oh! And Depop! I almost forgot about Depop! It’s kinda like, the Gen Z version of eBay, I think. Definitely a good place if you’re selling something trendy or vintage. Plus, I feel like the buyers on Depop are more likely to appreciate the *vibe* of your shoes, not just the brand name. (Is that just me? Maybe.)
