    I want to sell a pair of boots I got in Schuh. I only wore them about 3 or 4 times and I still have the box. Would I be better off selling them on Ebay, or gumtree or adverts on here?

    And if I paid 130 for them (theyre real leather and in perfect condition really) how much should I be looking for?

    eBay is probably best - Gumtree appears to be full of dodgy ads and I certainly wouldn't think of looking there anymore.

    You could also try the Buy & Sell or donedeal.ie

    As for price - have a look on eBay for the same or similar boots and see what people are selling them for. You probably won't get as much as you would like though.

    Stuck them up on ebay. Its literally taken me the last 2 hours to sort it out

    Photos don't look too professional though so I'm kinda worried. :(

    Is there anywhere else I could try? Im guessing Ill have to wait to see the results of the ebay thing? You get charged if you withdraw it dont ya

    Realistically I don't think you can expect too much for them. It's very hard to sell footwear on eBay and make anything decent back. It's simply awash with shoes, boots and clothes in general.

    Yes the photos look very standard but your boots are pretty normal so I wouldn't expect it to make any difference.
