If you have ever watched a pair sell out in 30 seconds and then show up online a day later, you have already seen how reselling works. This course teaches you how to take part carefully, one pair at a time.
Why most beginners struggle with their first pairs
They buy whatever is hyped on social media, in their own size, and list it the day it arrives. That goes wrong three ways:
1
Wrong pairs. Plenty of releases sell for less than retail once fees are counted. Hype is not the same as demand.
2
Wrong sizes. Everyone buys the common sizes, so there is a lot of competition in them.
3
Wrong timing. Selling in release week, when everyone else is selling, is the hardest time to sell.
Once you know which pairs, which sizes and which week…
It stops being a guess. You skip most releases. You buy the ones where the numbers work, in sizes fewer people chase, and you wait for a better week to sell.
How I went from one pair to twelve
Hi, I run SideScales.Reselling since 2019
My first pair sold for less than I paid. I bought my own size, of the shoe everyone was talking about, and listed it in release week. I did everything wrong.
So I started tracking. Every release, every size, every sale. After a few months the patterns were clear, and I built a simple checklist I still use before every buy.

Today I flip about 12 pairs a month in a couple of evenings a week. This course is that checklist, and everything behind it.
