Selling Guide

eBay, Mercari, and Facebook Marketplace (specifically local track and field groups). Poshmark is also viable for athletic footwear.
Selling Tips
Purchase a cheap pack of 1/4 inch replacement pyramid spikes and a plastic wrench to include with the sale; this significantly increases value to 'competition ready.' Clean the outsoles with a stiff brush to remove dirt. Use keywords: 'Track Spikes', 'Sprints', 'Hurdles', 'Rival S 9', and 'Galaxy Splatter'.
