How much is my sneaker collection worth?

Why a collection isn't the sum of its StockX prices

Every collector has done the math: add up the last-sale price of each pair, and the wall is worth a number that feels good. That number is what fifty different buyers might pay over six months, one pair at a time, before fees, shipping and the pairs that never sell. A buyout is different: one buyer takes everything — the grails and the slow sizes — in one afternoon and pays today. The offer reflects what the whole lot will actually sell for, how long that takes, and the fact that you skip the fees, the listing, the photographing, the returns and the waiting.

The five things that move the number

The mix. Hype pairs (Travis Scott, Off-White, SB collabs, OG Jordan 1s and 4s) carry their own price tier and sell in days. General-release Dunks, mid-tier retros and restocks sell on volume and are priced to how fast they move this month. A collection that's 20% grails and 80% GRs prices very differently from the reverse — even at the same pair count.

Deadstock share and condition. Unworn with the original box is the top of every pair's range. Lightly worn with no yellowing still does well. Creased toe boxes, sole separation, yellowed Boost and water damage drop a pair fast — and a lot with a lot of them prices to the work of moving them.

The size run. Men's 8–12 move fastest and price strongest. Big runs of 13+ or grade-school sizes are still bought, just priced to how long they sit.

Boxes, laces and completeness. OG boxes with matching labels lift collab and retro pricing. Replacement or missing boxes are fine — we price it in, not out.

Sell-through. The quiet one. Of a 200-pair lot, some portion will sell in a week and some will take a season. We price the whole lot, which means we're also paying today for the pairs we'll still be holding in March. Bigger lots get stronger per-pair pricing because one trip and one authentication session covers more pairs — but the slow third of any collection is always part of the math.

Lot pricing versus piece by piece

If you have time and patience, listing your best ten pairs yourself can net more on those ten. Most people with a real collection don't have time for 200 listings, 200 photo sessions, 200 shipments and the returns. The honest comparison is the lot offer today against the net you'd clear over six months, minus fees, minus your hours, minus the pairs that never sell. We'll tell you which pairs are worth listing yourself if you'd rather — we show the comps we're pricing from either way.

What a spreadsheet tells us

Brand, model, size, condition, box, quantity. With that we can write a real offer for the lot without a visit, usually the same day. Resellers already have one; estates and collectors can use our template — fifty pairs takes about ten minutes. A two-minute walkthrough video of the wall is the next best thing.

Things that cost money on inspection

Fakes mixed in (even unknowingly — every collection with a few "steals" has them), sizes that don't match the box, moisture and mildew from a basement or storage unit, yellowed or compressed Boost, mismatched boxes. None of these kill a deal. They do change the number, which is why the written offer says what it assumes and the final number is set in front of you.

How to get your exact number

Send the sheet, photos or a video — form below, or text (513) 276-6213. A buyer replies with a written offer, usually within the hour. Ten pairs or more in Ohio, Kentucky or Indiana, or $10,000+ anywhere in the US, and we come to you; smaller lots walk in or ship free. No automated estimates, no ranges, no obligation.
