I sell used sneakers on Goat to pay for new pairs to add to my collection. Here's how to guarantee a sale on the resale platform.

• I started reselling used sneakers in the summer of 2022 to more easily afford my sneaker addiction.
• I've sold shoes in person and on Poshmark, but my favorite platform to sell sneakers is Goat.
• It's not perfect. The fees are high, but the user experience on the Goat app is very seamless.

I started reselling kicks in the summer of 2022. 

Like many others, I was feeling the pinch of rising food and gas prices thanks to record 9.1% inflation in June. Adidas, Nike, and other major sneaker companies had also begun to raise shoe prices by about $10 on popular models.
