There are a few great sneaker resell apps out there. Some you’ve heard of, some you haven’t. Such is the world we live in. Regardless, let’s take a look at some of the best apps to resell your sneakers…

eBay

As far as online marketplaces go, eBay remains as one of the absolute top choices to resell sneakers. There are categories for nearly anything. Years ago, you could buy a soul in a jar. And people spent money on this. If people will buy empty jars or boxes, you can bet good money that someone will buy your shoes even if they are not the most rare pair out there.

To get started, make sure you have a seller account. Signing up is simple. Be mindful that you need a PayPal account to get paid. Next, list your item under the “Clothing, Shoes & Accessories” category. Specify the brand, style, color, and more, and you are good to go. Just sit back and relax as you see strangers bid on your old pair of sneakers. You can also set your own reserve bid price so if you don’t feel like selling your old sneakers for under $20 to the highest bidder, you don’t have to.

GOAT is an app designed for sneakerheads and sneaker resellers only. Whether you are looking to purchase or to resell sneakers, you can be sure that GOAT has you covered.

Their website, too, serves as not only a sneaker marketplace but as a place to read some interesting articles.

GOAT is arguably the most popular sneaker marketplace app. It has a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and over 237,000 reviews so its definitely an app you can trust. It is one of, if not the top, app to sell your sneakers.

Grailed

Grailed is another app developed for sneaker lovers and smart streetwear shoppers. While not quite as popular as GOAT, Grailed is a growing sneaker resell app. Their site lists over 150,000 pairs of sneakers. That’s plenty to search through, even for the most obsessed sneakerhead.

The app itself is similar to GOAT in its somewhat minimal and modern design. It functions fine, and you shouldn’t have trouble sifting through the bountiful display of cool kicks. Definitely a great alternative if you want try a different app to resell your shoes. The android version of the app seems to have a lower rating on the Google Play store than the iOS version, so all you Samsung phone owners make sure to take aware of that.

Poshmark

An outlier in our list of sneaker resell apps, Poshmark touts itself as the “#1 way to buy and sell fashion”, a motto that they believe they live up to. It’s a popular enough app, and it works just fine if you wish to resell sneakers—even if it isn’t aimed at them specifically. Poshmark is primarily used for other fashion items, but you can definitely sell your sneakers here.

Users will find that Poshmark is excellent for listing sneakers for resale in an easy, unburdened fashion. It’s similar to some of the other apps we’ve listed, but what sets Poshmark apart is that it focuses on higher-end brands, at least as far as clothing goes. You’ll find all of your favorite sneaker brands here, too. If you are also looking to sell your unused North Face jacket along with your sneakers, this is the app for you.

The downside is that there are tons of scathing reviews. Most complaints seem to take issue with poor sellers, bad customer service, and shady buyers, but what auction site doesn’t have its share of poor users? On the flipside, this review of the site had some positive things to say, and it could tip the scale for some readers. Its also among the top three apps for shopping in the entire Apple app store.

Stadium Goods

Stadium Goods is a sneaker resell app that delivers plenty of fresh styles, new and old, and a range of brands. This makes it an awesome choice if you want to buy, sell, or browse sneakers. Earlier this year, Foot Locker invested a whopping $100 million in the GOAT app.

From a quick overview, Stadium Goods lists sneakers from Adidas, Nike, Yeezy, Jordans, Converse, Asics, New Balance, and more. Navigating is easy. The interface, like GOAT and Grailed, is clean, sleek, and modern. It’s not difficult to spend a chunk of time perusing the many offers available.

It’s a great app to resell in bulk, too. You send your sneakers to them and they sell and ship the shoes. They make this process easy enough. It’s an interesting way to get some cash for your sneakers. If you are looking to get into reselling sneakers as your full-time income, then Stadium Goods is definitely an app to study and master.
