Shoe Sale

If you’re like me, you have more shoes than your closets can hold.  Is it perhaps time for a purge?  You’re saying goodbye to shoes you don’t wear in exchange for (1) money to buy new shoes, and (2) space in your closet to fit the new shoes you just bought.

Sounds good to me!

But where to sell them?  So many sites only accept Jimmy Choos and Manolo Blahniks.  But what if you just have stylish, well-kept, regular-ish shoes?  Where to begin?  Here are three options you might want to take a look at:

Trend Trunk

Shoe brands like Nine West, Aldo, and Michael Kors show up on the pages of Trend Trunk.  And there are two different ways to sell!  If you’re feeling ambitious you can list it yourself, manage your listings, send it out when it sells, and keep 80% of the sale price.  Need a little help?  Choose their Runway Valet option, where (if there’s a stylist within 25 km of you—there isn’t in PA yet, I’m afraid!) they’ll take photos of your items for you, help price them, store your items, and even ship them for you.  You get to keep 50% of the selling price with this route. 

Feeling especially stylish?  You can sign up to be one of their stylists! 

Bib + Tuck

The shoes on Bib + Tuck are just slightly more expensive brands than Trend Trunk: Brian Atwood, Betsey Johnson, Stuart Weitzman, and Jeffrey Campbell show up on the list of accepted brands.  It’s very simple: list your item, use their prepaid labels to ship items once they sell, and rake in 85% of the sale price!  Easy!

Threadflip

G by Guess, Jessica Simpson, Steve Madden, Sam Edelman, and Zara show up on Threadflip, though you get some of the higher-end shoes as well (Prada, Giuseppe Zanotti, etc.).  Like Trend Trunk, they also offer two options when selling: a full-service option where you send them your items and they handle everything (and you get up to 70% when they sell), or a DIY option where you keep 80%.  Sounds good to me!

So do some belated spring cleaning and take a look what you have in your closet.  Why keep those old shoes when you could get money to buy new shoes?...
