Used knee high boots in Oakland 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 Oakland
Oakland has a strong arts and music scene, a large stock of older housing and warehouse space, and Bay Area cost pressure pushing people in and out. Instruments, bikes and furniture all circulate briskly.
Bay Area housing costs move people frequently, and a departure from the region generally means selling rather than shipping. Music and art equipment turns over as projects and spaces change hands.
BART covers the corridor well for small handovers and is often quicker than driving. Parking varies sharply by neighbourhood, and for anything large it is worth establishing where a vehicle can actually stop.
On instruments and audio equipment, ask whether it came out of a shared studio or practice space. Shared-space gear is often good value but has been handled by a great many people.
Handing it over in Oakland
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
- Shafts that stand rather than slouch, if the style intends it
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
- 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.
- Stuff the shafts so they stand upright, and clean the leather or brush the suede before photographing.
Photograph
- Both soles and heel tips
- The zip full length, the inside label, and any crease, scuff or scratch
Put in the description
- Heel height and type
- Material, zip condition, and whether the shaft is stretch-panelled
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.

Do the zips work smoothly?
Run them fully and answer honestly. A cobbler can replace a boot zip, but the buyer should be choosing that rather than inheriting it.
