eBay prices are a lot better than you think
The most common criticism we receive about our Sneaker Price Guide is that some prices are too low.

On the surface, the mechanics of these two markets are pretty much the same – buy a sneaker, watch it increase in price, sell it. In reality, the sneaker game is much more akin to the […]
Which sneakers come from foreign sellers?
In the previous post, “Which foreign countries sell the most sneakers into the U.S. sneakerhead market“, we opened up the conversation about foreign sneaker sellers. As we stated then, our lens into the sneakerhead market is the U.S. eBay site but, on occasion, sellers from other countries join the party. We found that Canada, Taiwan, […]

Do sneaker prices vary by size?
Yes. The blue line represents the percent deviation between the average DS price of that size and the overall average DS price. For example, size 8 is negative 1.9%. This means that the average price of a size 8 pair is 1.9% less than the average price of all sizes together. On the other hand, […]
