Used knee high boots in Austin typically sell for $34 to $150. Knee high boots have one measurement that decides everything and is almost never given: the calf circumference. State it and you will outsell every listing that does not.
Selling knee high boots in Austin
Austin is a tech and music city with a very large university at its centre, and both sides of that produce a real second-hand market. Instruments and audio gear circulate constantly, and the tech workforce turns over computer equipment far faster than it wears out.
Student leases turn over in August and tech hiring runs on its own cycle, so there are effectively two churn seasons here rather than one. Desks, chairs and monitors appear in volume whenever hiring slows.
The interstate splits the city and crossing it at the wrong time of day is the main cost of a collection, so most handovers get arranged on one side or the other. Parking near the centre and the campus is the usual sticking point.
On a used guitar or amp, ask to hear it rather than only see it. The local market is knowledgeable and honest sellers expect the question; reluctance to plug something in usually means something.
Handing it over in Austin
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.

Bulkier than most footwear, so use a proper box and quote postage from an actual weight. Do not fold the shafts to make them fit a smaller box — leather creases permanently.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell knee high boots in Austin?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. The interstate splits the city and crossing it at the wrong time of day is the main cost of a collection, so most handovers get arranged on one side or the other. Parking near the centre and the campus is the usual sticking point.
How tall is the shaft?
Measure from the floor to the top of the shaft at the back. Shorter buyers care about this as much as calf width and it is equally rarely stated.
