About 50% it’s becoming less everyday as goat grows it’s user base. StockX is great but your shoe box must have its lid which outlet shoes do not.
When you call what I do “high risk” it reminds me of your episode where the real estate guy called your approach risky. Maybe it is but because of my expertise in the area it doesn’t seem risky at all. I sometimes have the “why did I just spend a thousand dollars sure hope this sells feeling” but it always does. It’s extremely rare to lose money on any of these shoes that I buy as long as I’m disciplined in doing my research on comps. Most shoes are sort of a commodity where a new nike free rn flyknit sells for 80-90 every time so while I have to spend 30 to get it. The demand is so high for new Nike’s that I know I can see a profit quickly.
From a life ethos POV I wish I could buy more antique items and find them new homes. Each thing I’ve done has sort of just naturally led to the next. I have more than a passing interest in shoes so it’s exciting to be able to sell something I really enjoy.
I love your show and the path you’ve steered your life! I love how open you guys are about everything. It was such an encouragement while being super informative especially when I first started. I wish you both well!

That’s so cool!
I have two young kids and really hope they show an interest in some sort of entrepreneurial pursuit as they get older. My five year old cooks up ideas to sell all time but we are still working on it with the two year old. I think eBay is the perfect job for a high schooler with a fresh license.
I wrote out a long reply on my phone, I wonder if it got caught in the spam filter or if it just isn’t going to post?
I know I’m late but I just joined today.
I’ll offer a couple of tips and if you need more help let me know.
Check the ESN on swappa.com to make sure it’s “clean”
If it’s an iPhone make sure that the iCloud account is removed
Check the front very carefully for cracks.
There is always a possibility that the phone will be reported stolen after you buy it and possibly even after you sell it. This is a cost of selling phones though it is not common and the phones can still be sold for a reduced amount.
Swappa is a great marketplace to cross post your items.
Let me know if you have any specific questions.
