Used knee high boots in Detroit 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 Detroit
Detroit has more automotive knowledge per head than anywhere else in the country and an enormous stock of older housing. Car parts and tools sell to people who know exactly what they are looking at, and mid-century furniture surfaces here regularly.
The older housing stock means genuine estate clear-outs are common, and those are where the better furniture comes from. Automotive equipment circulates continuously rather than seasonally.
The city is spread out and everything is collected by car, with easy parking. Distances are long, so agreeing a meeting point on a main route rather than a specific address saves both sides time.
On car parts, confirm the exact fitment rather than the model name. The local knowledge is real and sellers will usually know precisely what it came off, so ask for the specifics before you travel.
Handing it over in Detroit
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
What knee high boots are worth
What lifts the price
- Supple leather with no cracking at the ankle
- Working full-length zips
What pulls it down
- Broken or split full-length zips
- Slouched or misshapen shafts
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.

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.
