Ditch the Garage Sale Idea & Sell Your Odd Shoes Online
Posted by admin
Kent Basson asked:
If you have different sized feet and you have purchased mismatched pair of shoes in the past, you probably have a closet filled with unused shoes. The first thing that comes to mind is to sell your mismatched odd shoes at a garage sale. That’s a great idea; however, most people who buy shoes at garage sales or flea markets prefer to purchase a pair of shoes that are the same size and color. Unless a person is an avid shoe collector and they are not concerned about size, you will have a difficult time selling your odd shoes – no matter how low you price them.
The answer to this problem is to ditch the garage sale this year and sell your odd shoes online. The following are a few ways to sell your odd shoes online.
You can hire a web designer to build a website to sell your unused odd shoes. Hire a graphic designer to design a logo, flyers, brochures and business cards printed and you’re all set to go. The problem with this idea is that you could spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on just having your website built alone. If you only have 5 pairs of shoes to sell, this is complete waste of money.
Sell your odd shoes on an auction site. This is a great idea, however, most popular auction sites charge a fee to post your merchandise or charge you a fee when you sell an item.
Post your odd shoe advertisement on a free classified ad website such as Craigslist. The problem with this is that you’re basically shooting in the dark because your ad will be placed in a general category such as “clothes and accessories”. The chances of finding someone interested in purchasing odd shoes or mismatched shoes is very slim.
The best idea since the invention of the shoe is the online shoe exchange. Websites like OddShoeFinder connect people who want to sell their odd shoes or single shoes with people who want to buy odd shoes. Best of all, you’re not charged to sell your odd shoes.
