Used heels in Tempe typically sell for $16 to $81. Heels sell on brand and on the state of the tips and the heel covering — and honest measurement matters more here than in any other footwear, because there is no give at all.
Selling heels in Tempe
Tempe is dominated by one of the largest university campuses in the country, built around a butte and an artificial lake in the riverbed. It is dense by the standards of the region and overwhelmingly shaped by the student population.
The university is enormous relative to the city and clears student housing each May, which is overwhelmingly the dominant cycle. Bikes, desks and furniture move in real volume at that point.
The light rail runs through the city and campus and is genuinely useful for anything portable. Campus parking is difficult, so agree a meeting point off it for anything large.
In the May move-out weeks, look at the item in person if you can. The student market clears in a few days here and speed is precisely when checking gets skipped.
Handing it over in Tempe
Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.

What heels are worth
What lifts the price
- Leather soles and uppers over synthetic
- Original box and dust bags
What pulls it down
- Worn-through heel tips showing the metal pin
- Very high heels, which suit fewer buyers
Working out what yours is worth
- Look at the heel tips and note whether they need replacing
- Measure the heel height and state it
Getting it ready
- Inspect the heel covering for lifting or scuffing, which is the wear point on covered heels.
- Clean the soles and the insole. A soiled insole reads as worn far more strongly than the actual wear justifies.

Post boxed, with each shoe wrapped and the heels protected. Thin heels snap in transit when they are loose in a padded bag, so a rigid box is worth the small extra postage.
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.
