Obtaining sneakers to resell

One of the hardest parts about starting out as a new reseller is obtaining the sneakers you will be reselling.

Buying sneakers can be challenging when starting out. However, if you choose your sources of sneakers wisely you can find steady success.

Sites that operate on Shopify's e-commerce platform are heavily trafficked by sneaker bots and often aren't worth the effort.

Big box retailers like Dick's Sporting Goods, JD Sports, and FinishLine do a fair job combatting bots and have a higher stock than boutiques, so we recommend starting to target those sites if you're beginning your resell journey.

Selling your sneakers

Once you have started to make some purchases and 'hit drops' the fun part - selling the sneakers, starts.

There are loads of options when it comes to moving stock such as Consignment, eBay, hand-to-hand local sales, and resell platforms like StockX and GOAT.

Depending on where you live, local sales can often bring the most profit as there are no fees involved. If you live in an area where the sneaker game isn’t very strong you can embrace the platforms like StockX and Alias as they give you access to worldwide buyers.

Where do I source information about reselling?

Finding the right intel can be hard in the beginning. However, the sites below are the ones we recommend for beginners looking to learn more.

In addition, to the sites above, we recommend that you ensure you are scanning Twitter for reputable accounts to follow. These accounts will share sneaker drop information earlier than blogs and even resell predictions.

Sneaker botting

If you're thinking about becoming a reseller, it is important that you familiarize yourself with Sneaker bots and potentially get your hands on one.

Sneaker Bots are automated software that run the purchase process for you and can do it with speed and volume that a manual reseller simply cannot compete with.

Sneaker botting requires a lot of practice and a bit of initial investment. However, it can definitely be worth it in the long time. If you aren't looking to spend a large amount on a sneaker bot, you can also try using a rental - a temporary sneaker bot.

Last but certainly not least, treat sneaker reselling like a real business. Make yourself an excel spreadsheet or use apps like Scout to track your expenses and watch your business grow.
