The Benefits Of Purchasing Used Sneakers with eBay

Looking to grow your sneaker collection on a budget, but don't know where to start? Let us help you out! Now we have bought hundred of used sneakers over the last 14 years whether it is for personal use or for the brand and have never had a problem! We pick up 95% of our used sneakers at eBay to ensure they are authentic and in quality condition. If you are in the market for used sneakers, but don't want to buy fakes eBay has you covered! 

Now that you know where to purchase your used sneaker grails, let's talk about the benefits of why you should. Here are the top 3 benefits to purchasing pre-owned sneakers. 

1. The Price: Purchasing a pair of pre-owned sneakers allows you to purchase a grail sneaker for a lower price. As we all know the prices on sneakers have skyrocketed in the last few years and let's be real none of us are hitting on SNKRS. Which makes purchasing a pre- owned sneaker for a lower price than the resell value is crucial. 

The other key thing is looking for lightly worn sneakers.. There are some shoes on eBay that have only been worn 5-6 times before they are being sold! Without a doubt pick those up. 

2. The Resell Opportunity: A lot of sneakers hold their value or see an increase in value around certain parts of their lives. For example Travis Scott's and Off White's will always hold their value, prices on Kobe's are higher than they used to be AND some of these colorways will always be the OG. If you make sound decisions when picking up a pair and clean it up you could easily flip for more money.

3. Wearable Kicks: The wear your sneakers vs. stock em' debate is never ending. However, when buying used sneakers you can avoid all that. The need to leave your sneakers deadstock is out the window. This gives you a chance for a daily wearer or a pair to rotate through your "wearable collection." 

Bonus Benefit of choosing eBay: Most of their pairs are authenticated by their crew to ensure you are getting real sneakers. 

Things to look for: 

1. Condition: Always check the description AND the images to ensure they line up. Don't only rely on the "brand new" or "slightly used" tag on eBay.
2. Resell Value: Double check what those shoes are currently worth to ensure you are making a strategic decision. 
3. Authenticity: Authenticity guaranteed tag on eBay to ensure they are being sent to their headquarters first. 
4. Buyer reviews: Always double check to ensure you are buying from a trustworthy person. 

Things to know: 

• Once purchased it is up to the buyer to ship them to eBay; which can be done at any time. If you need the sneaker earlier, be weary of the time frame!
