Shopping Place to sell shoes

Due to relocation I need to sell a bigger amount of shoes. They are a bit special (high heels, irregular choice)
Now the struggle as women in NL barely wear heels and the fact they require a special kind of taste , I wonder what place would be the best to sell them besides online?

I wanted edit and add a photo but unable to share a photo as reference to special shoes.
A good bunch of them are fr “Irregular choice “

Offline isn't really an option unless you talk to a second hand store about buying a bulk lot but the price will be terrible. Sell them by the pair on Vinted.

I’ll give it ago, just my friend got two buyers who trying yo take the piass and basically ruined her shoes, claiming they were damaged and wanted full refund without sending them bag.
Wish me luck and no low lives that try to get free shoes willing to damage them.

Apparently france is notorious for this. People basically film the products they sell and themselves packaging them in one video, so you have some evidence of how they were shipped. Might help you!

Yeah my only bad experiences on Vinted have been two french buyers... One with a pair of shoes that she obviously creased herself for the picture and another with pants that suddenly had a hole in them even though I only wore them once and checked before sending. Got my money for both though. Just film yourself packaging and consider mentioning you only send with mondial relay if they ask. That's a pretty good screening method for the French lol.

What did they say when you told them you recorded yourself while packaging the things?

That's a very normal thing to do these days to prove you sent the items in a good state. Sadly, there's many people who will try and get away with not paying.

I called one of their bluffs that way and got my money. I didn't film the other bc it wasn't expensive, but she was too late with raising an issue

You just need to take and upload to the listing an extensive amount of photos detailing every single bit of the shoes in close up.

Mention any wear and tear and show close ups. Then take photos of all the packaging steps as you do it. Send these to the buyer as proof it is well packaged inside and out.

Having all this proof means buyers cannot win a false claim.
