“So I sold them for what I\u00a0 got them for, I also would run across shoes I would love so I ended up keeping them instead of making money off them”, said Alfedo Delgado. Back then are many other stories where former students couldn’t even afford there own sneakers cause it’s really hard to work and save money and some use them for like college and many other things.\u00a0“The love for them, I grew up not being able to afford the sneakers I wanted so when I got a job I started collecting my own and one day woke up and just decided to start reselling around town,\u201d said Alfredo Delgado. “Honestly I would say i\u2019m still not there. I\u2019ve been reselling since February of 2021 and had a couple mistakes but I know it\u2019s taught me a lot about the business and I know I\u2019m in the right path to get where I want to be.\u201d “Stay consistent, patient and \u00a0be smart about what you decide to keep for yourself. I went a couple months without reselling between my start and now and one thing that caused that was me being lazy or not wanting to wait for the right customer to buy the shoes at the right price,” said Alfredo Delgado.<\/p>\n

Reselling sneakers requires hard work and success isn’t guaranteed. If you’re passionate about sneakers, it might be a worthwhile investment provided you work hard and learn the business. In this way,\u00a0investing in sneakers is no different than investing in any other asset. “Stay consistent, patient and \u00a0be smart about what you decide to keep for yourself. I went a couple months without reselling between my start and now and one thing that caused that was me being lazy or not wanting to wait for the right customer to buy the shoes at the right price”, said Alfredo Delgado.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
