Any Sneaker Flippers on here?

About a year ago I started flipping sneakers. Right now I’m trying to make my job of it and business is doing better as expected.

Does anyone else on here flip sneakers?

I noticed that less and less people are entering the sneaker biz, where in 2017/2018 it was growing like crazy. Do you also find that's true?

To be honest I’m experiencing the opposite. But perhaps that’s because I’m located in The Netherlands.

Yes, I'm in the US. It just seemed to be mainstream then, and now has died off. I guess it could be my area, but I'm not seeing it a whole lot online either.

Either way, good luck with your business endeavors. I hope you do great.

Perhaps. Thank you! Honestly it’s an easy way to earn some extra money, due to all the online market places and return policies.

Yes this is actually my main source of income. I started towards the end of last year while I was still in college. I knew it was always around I just never really got into it. Now it is my full time job and I have various connections within the "sneaker reselling scene" where I am starting new projects within the niche.

It can be extremely profitable if done correctly. I know one guy just made $25k profit in one day a lone a couple weeks ago on a retail drop. Which honestly that is what I have been more focused on recently instead of sneakers. I just get graphics cards as some of the cards alone are $1,000+ profit if sold locally. Which some days I manage to hit 3+ cards.

Yes. It's my main source of income and has set me up nicely for my future. If you have any questions I can help you, I'm currently writing a comprehensive book/guide.
I don't sneaker flip but i sell proxies for peolpe who sneaker bot!
I just don't understand it. Why do you collect something you can't wear?
Buy my signature!
I can't say I understand the craze to collect sneakers but I guess anyone can say that about any sort of hobby that isn't their own. I know a couple people who still flip sneakers, among other things though. The profit is certainly there but I can't say it's for me.

Personally I mainly sell the people who are going to wear them.

Ah that's not as bad then. It's still way more than I'd ever pay, but at least it's not people buying $1000+ shoes to wear around.

Had a couple of those as customers as well, most expensive shoe I sold was about €1700, he was going to wear it.
