aussieheels1 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 i just picked up 10 pairs of heels and boots today as there was massive sale at one the local retail chain.... unfortunately, none of them are my size i have to confess, the purpose of the shopping spree is to resell them on ebay and make a little money (hopefully)... however, now that I've got them, even though none of the heels will fit me ( they are between size 8.5 to size 10 and i'm a size 11).... they are all so gorgeous that I really want to keep them.... i guess my obsession with heels is definitly more than the wearing of it and it's almost like a stamp collection hobby oh.. and yes... i will sell them.... as much as i really really don't want to.....

t-strap lover Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Sometimes I do the same thing. I have about 15 pairs that I bought that were to small just because I like them. t-straps are my favorite style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyFeat Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I have given a lot of thought to buying shoes to sell on eBay. I have sold ones that I have bought for myself, both worn and unworn, with some success. However, I have not tried it with shoes in general. As the saying goes, do what you love- and since I love shoes it could be fun. I would love to hear what kind of success any of you have at selling shoes you buy on clearance on eBay.

Bubba136 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Whew, Just checked and as of this moment there are 361,988 pairs of shoes listed for sale on ebay. It's hard enough to search out good pairs to buy yet alone going through the process of selling them. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

HappyFeat Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Whew, Just checked and as of this moment there are 361,988 pairs of shoes listed for sale on ebay. It's hard enough to search out good pairs to buy yet alone going through the process of selling them. That's what I thought. I always figured that selling only larger sizes kind of makes for a niche market. Style is built from the ground up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieheels1 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 I'm really just testing the market and see what ebay provides..... originally, my plan was to get heels that are size 10 and above at the sale as I think (and Happyfeat pointed out) that there is a little bit of a niche there as the those size are harder to find for women with larger feet or men.... and also a side bonus to that was if there were anything that dosn't sell.... well, what a shame, guess i would have to keep them in my collection then however, as usual, nothing happens according to plan.... I went to 3 of the shops and there were no size 11 or above left...... but the heels (and especially the price) is too good to pass on, so thought I would go for it and spend half the budget I allocated myself for this venture....... I'll be taking some pics of the shoe soon for ebay posting.... may attach them here too to show you guys the lovely heels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba136 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Shoot, aussieheels1, why not offer them here. I bet a member will snap them up....just post a couple of pictures along with an accurate description, and they shouldn't last more than a couple of days.

roniheels Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I guess I'm just too particular. I enjoy trying on high heels in the store and even wearing them out of the store. I don't think I have ever bought a pair that wasn't my size and that includes mail order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussieheels1 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 will do.... however, i think most of the sizes will be too small for the members on the forum here to take advantage off...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
