Best Places to Get Quality Cheap Shoes
May 24, 2009 by Dunkin
Cheap Shoes doesn’t have to mean junky shoes that are going to just fall apart in the rain. Cheap shoes can also mean quality shoes that you have gotten really cheap. The second explanation is my idea of cheap shoes. Discounted quality shoes may end up costing a bit more then the fall apart ones, but they are worth it. The big question is where we get these quality cheap shoes.
Wholesale
You may have heard about buying things wholesale for your own use. You may have even seen stores online or otherwise that advertise they will sell to individuals to use for themselves and not to resale. I used to buy and sell using wholesale, and I can tell you that to get real wholesale prices you have to buy an item in bulk. I’m not talking about getting a dozen of the same shoes; I’m talking about getting a pallet of them. Unless you want to sell on EBay then forget about getting real whole sale prices.
Online Shoe Stores
Shopping online for cheap shoes is easy and hard all at the same time. You can find wonderful prices on fashionable quality shoes, but it can be hard to shop for shoes you can’t try on until you purchase them and they arrive at your home. Some people have really typical feet shape and others don’t. If you have typical feet then you are lucky, you can shop for all types of shoes. If you don’t then just get shoes online that doesn’t have to fit your feet perfectly.
They take 9% – 12% when the item is sold, depending on the category the item is in or whether it is an auction or fixed price listing. It also costs money to put the item up for sale to begin with, and this is called an "insertion fee."
For a 6,000 item, the insertion fee would be $2.00 for a 7-day auction and they would take 9% when it sells. For a fixed price item, the insertion fee would be $0.50 and a percent based on the type of item.
