# How to sell

Once you purchase the shoe/item, you can list them on sites, consignment stores, online marketplaces, social media, discord, and a lot more. It is important to note, that selling directly after release may not be the best idea. Sometimes it is best to list preorders (guarantee the item to someone before you get it) or sell right after the drop. Sometimes it is even best to hold for a while. Shoes like Nike Dunks and Jordan 1s have been really popular recently and nearly all colorways have risen in value. However, if you are working with a smaller budget, it is almost always best to sell ASAP and reinvest your money.&#x20;

## **How To Safely Trade/Sell**

**When Buying:**

Use PayPal Goods and Services or an invoice. This ensures you will get your products with protection.&#x20;

Before buying from social media or from anyone please check to see if they have references and if their info matches up. Also look out for things like following. If they follow a lot more than the amount that follows them, it may be a scam. Ask for pictures of the item. If they send you stock photos or very bad quality images, they are probably scamming. If they are selling for significantly under market it is 99.99% a scam.

Always get a legit-check in **#legit-check** prior to purchasing.

**When Selling:**

Use PayPal Goods and Services or an invoice. This ensures you will get your products with protection.&#x20;

When meeting locally please stay safe. I recommend meeting near a police or fire station, or an area with a lot of people. You never want to go to their house or them come to yours unless they are absolutely trusted.
