Used knee high boots in Columbus typically sell for $34 to $150. Knee-high boots are judged on shaft condition and calf fit, and the calf measurement is what listings most often omit.
Selling knee high boots in Columbus
Columbus is dominated by one of the largest university campuses in the country, and the student cycle governs the second-hand market almost entirely. Desks, mini-fridges, bikes and bookshelves appear and disappear on the academic calendar.
Late summer is extraordinary here: tens of thousands of students move within the same few days, and the volume of furniture put out at once makes it the best buying window of the year. May is the mirror image.
The campus district is compact and much of it is walkable, so small handovers are easy. For furniture, the streets around campus are congested during the moving weeks and a specific time slot matters more than usual.
Furniture sold in the campus moving weeks is priced to disappear, which is the appeal and also the risk. Look at it in daylight if you can, because a great deal changes hands sight-unseen in those few days.
Handing it over in Columbus
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.
What knee high boots are worth
What lifts the price
- Shafts that stand rather than slouch, if the style intends it
- Working full-length zips
What pulls it down
- Cracking at the ankle flex point
- Broken or split full-length zips
Working out what yours is worth
- Measure the calf circumference and shaft height
- Work the full-length zip several times
Getting it ready
- Measure the calf circumference at the widest point of the shaft, with the boot zipped and lying flat.
- Test the zips fully up and down. A sticking zip is the most common fault and, on a tall shaft, it makes the boot unwearable.

Put in the description
- Calf circumference and shaft height in centimetres, measured flat
- Material, zip condition, and whether the shaft is stretch-panelled
Brand, material, size and shaft: “Leather Knee High Boots, Size 6, Black, 38cm Calf”. Putting the calf measurement in the title is unusual and it works, because a large share of buyers have been caught out by a shaft that would not close and now search specifically for one that will.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
