Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for wide reach), Poshmark (strong for brand-name footwear), and Mercari. These perform exceptionally well on platforms where 'Comfort' and 'European Brand' keywords are popular.
Selling Tips
Include 'Austrian' and 'Boiled Wool' in the title. Take clear photos of the soles to show lack of wear. Mention that they are machine washable. If selling in summer, set a firm price; if selling in October-December, you can price for a quick flip.
