25 pairs of used clarks shoes

Hi,

I have always put my girls in good Clarks shoes, so i now have approx 25 pairs in the loft, most in thier boxes and still with plenty of use left.....

Do you think they would sell on Ebay? if so how would you list them

    List them without the term "well worn" or "worn" in the title.

    You'll be inundated with weirdos!

    I'd say do it, bit of a pain taking the photo's (assuming they're all different) but you should clear a few quid per pair.
    I always sell my toddlers used shoes on ebay and if they're a good brand like Clark's they'll always get some interest. The only bad thing is the constant fear of unfair feedback and being suspended, especially for such low value items. Be brutally honest in your ads and you should be OK though.
    If you don't want to do it I'll buy 'em off you!!

    Have a look in completed items and see what similar go for to see if worth your while. Will also give you an idea of which can of listing / wording etc is the most effective

    Definately worth putting on ebay, I know several people who have their children measured at clarks & then buy the appropriate size from ebay.

    Make sure you put up clear photos, detailed description & list any scuff marks etc. Put size in both the description & title.
    You cant take a step forward with both feet on the ground

    Hi, I would definately put them on ebay as single items, not as a job lot. Make sure you put clarkes in the title, as well as the size of them. If you know which style they are, put that in as well as people search for certain styles.
    Good luck!

    I would also list them as single lots, my sister has sold her kid's in the past and each pair has fetched around £10 each which is better than just giving them to the charity shop. Include a picture of the box as well (search for completed listings on Ebay and see how other people have arranged the shoes, I always stand the shoes on the box to show they are boxed).

    To OP did you decide to the list these in the end and are they doing any good if you did. Thanks

    if you don't fancy ebay, try a car boot sale? even if you get £2 a pair its £50 and wih having all the shoes i presume you'll have clothes etc as well.

    Boot sale does seem a good idea actually. A friend of mine made quite a bit selling just clothes and shoes etc.
