How to buy/sell
When someone purchases your item
Print shipping label
When Buying:
Use PayPal Goods and Services or an invoice. This ensures you will get your products with protection.
Before buying from social media or from anyone please check to see if they have references and if their info matches up. It is important to look out for the following.
If the follow to follower ratio is uncanny, it may be a scam. For example, if a page is following 2k people but only has 200 followers it is probably a scam.
Ask for pictures of the item. If they send you stock photos, poor quality images, or images from a different page, they are probably scamming.
If they are selling for significantly under market it is 99.99% a scam.
Always get a legit-check in #verified-legit-check prior to purchasing.
When Selling:
Use PayPal Goods and Services or an invoice. This ensures you will get your products with protection.
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.
When to sell
Once you cop an item, you can list them on sites, consignment stores, online marketplaces, social media, discord, and a lot more. Below will be a list of various places you can sell. It is important to note, that selling directly after release may not be the best idea: when to sell depends on the item and it can vary greatly. For example, Yeezys tend to have less value after the initial drop but after a couple of months, the market begins to rise. Below is the chart for Yeezy 350 V2 Linen which released on April 18, 2020. The arrow points to the drop date and from that point on the value slowly increases.

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.
