Maybe you could get an ebay selling assistant to sell them for you - less work for you and they can usually get more for them than the average seller. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-654300 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 23:30:01 +0000 annagybe 654300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I am size 10, but the shoes I'm selling currently have 4" heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-654293 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 23:17:44 +0000 Jjsloane 654293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think we wear the same shoe size -10? (although I am not your style equal) I'd love to have a shot at anything not skyhigh if you're interested. No fees. No middleman. Just a thought... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-653610 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 03:35:46 +0000 annagybe 653610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In other shoe news, I very sadly returned the black wood heeled booties to Nordstrom today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-653601 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 03:14:07 +0000 Suz 653601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, I'm so sorry about your back. As Shannon said, I know heels have been a big part of your style signature, so it must be doubly frustrating. I think you're doing the right thing in passing some of them along, though, especially the summer styles. Because I agree, even if you are able to wear them again, you'll want different shoes then. So might as well get some spending money in the meantime for something to add a different kind of fab to the wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-653600 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 03:14:00 +0000 Amy 653600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you can get a good enough return on them, then by all means, do it. Your tastes do change and there's no sense in letting those shoes gather dust. On to prettier things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-653597 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 03:00:51 +0000 Isabel 653597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds as if you made a smart decision. With the normal 12 weeks of PT in which you won't be wearing heels, the season will be over for those shoes by the time you may be able to wear heels again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-653594 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 02:56:32 +0000 annagybe 653594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took two pairs to a local boutique that has a small consignment area. One was a nude and fabric Rag &amp; Bone heeled bootie, the other Marni fabric heeled wedge clogs. Both were only summer shoes. If I can wear them next summer, chances are my fickle tastes would have changed by them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-653593 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 02:52:48 +0000 Isabel 653593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry about your back. </p> <p>I am not sure that you should be selling all of your heels. Once you are done with PT you are going to have to keep exercising to keep your muscles strong to support your spine. If you do this, you may be able to wear your heels at least for a few hours. You may not be able to wear them for as long, but you could get more appropriate shoes for that. </p> <p>Obviously, your doctor will also make recommendations. </p> <p>But don't do something that you might regret later when you haven't started PT yet.</p> <p>Good Luck ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-653568 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 02:09:31 +0000 Mochi 653568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really sorry about your back, anna. I am crossing my fingers that the PT is effective and quickly reduces your discomfort. </p> <p>Around where I am it really varies in terms of how fair the consignment stores are. There's a local chain that gives you 50%. I personally could not deal with all the minutiae of eBay but others seem to do well with it. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-653389 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 19:05:35 +0000 Keix 653389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a hassle, but have you looked at Laws of General Economy? <a href="http://thegeneraleconomy.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://thegeneraleconomy.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>They are pretty good about filtering out fast-fashion posts, although some Urban Outfitters slips through (or is deemed OK, I'm not sure). I've never listed so I don't know how quickly they get to you in the posting queue, but it is an active blog with a reasonable readership. About to buy something next week from LoGE, actually, if my luck holds. You can pick your own sale price and you must randomly choose a buyer from the interested commenters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-645149 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 19:01:27 +0000 annagybe 645149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Threadflip looks promising. I think I'll try that for my high end designer stuff.<br /> Angie I've lost money on consigning because they required dry-cleaning and it cost more to dry clean the item than what I got. I have a local boutique who will give me 50% and she does does price well and is not picky as a full blown consigment store.</p> <p>ETA to add. OK by the FAQ Threadflip prefers high end stuff. But there are listing for Target and Forever 21 stuff. Hmmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-645141 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:52:43 +0000 Angie 645141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Granted I know NOTHING about selling used clothing. Just wanted you to know that consignment stores are not all that generous. </p> <p>I took a pair of brand new designer boots (never been worn) to a consignment store and they paid me $13 for them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-645123 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 18:14:11 +0000 rae 645123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If Ebay sounds a hassle, you could check out Threadflip, the site that was on the weekly links blog post the other day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-645106 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:37:24 +0000 ironkurtin 645106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, I'm going to say that unless you want to deal with shipping and other hassles, I'd go with consignment. Yes, you will get less. But you won't have to deal with ebay, Paypal, nonpaying bidders, shipping... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-645104 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:34:42 +0000 Transcona Shannon 645104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Angie on this one - ebay will get you more, which will then give you some spending money for fabulous and edgy flats.</p> <p>I am sorry about your back Anna - difficult physically and a bit emotionally I'm sure. I know heels are part of your signature style. But you rock flats like nobody's business and will find just as fabulous and edgy footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-645102 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:32:43 +0000 annagybe 645102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking I'd start with my lesser designer pieces, like some nude heeled Rag &amp; Bone booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-645094 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:26:14 +0000 Angie 645094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that's a great idea. Although consigning might not be the best way to go - you will get less than pittance for your beautiful and very expensive shoes. Ebay? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-sell-some-of-my-heels#post-645092 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:23:55 +0000 annagybe 645092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So given my back injury I don't know when if ever I can go back to my heels. I restart PT this week.<br /> I was wondering if I should start consigning some of my heels. </p>
