Used knee high boots in San Francisco 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 San Francisco
San Francisco is expensive, hilly and built largely of older buildings without lifts, and all three facts shape what actually sells. Small, well-made furniture moves; large pieces are difficult to get into a flat at all, and buyers know it.
Tech employment cycles and the cost of living together produce unusually high turnover, and people leaving the city almost always sell rather than ship. Home office equipment appears in quantity whenever hiring slows.
Parking is the hardest part of any collection here and the hills are not a joke on a bike. Establish which floor, whether there is a lift, and where a vehicle can legally stop, before agreeing anything larger than a box.
Establish where a vehicle can legally stop before you agree to collect anything large. Between the hills, the permit zones and the lack of lifts, access is the hard part of almost every sale here.
Handing it over in San Francisco
Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.
What knee high boots are worth
What lifts the price
- Working full-length zips
- Recognised makers with a following
What pulls it down
- Cracking at the ankle flex point
- Broken or split full-length zips
Working out what yours is worth
- Work the full-length zip several times
- Flex the ankle and check for cracking
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.

Autumn and early winter carry this category almost entirely. Listed in September or October a good pair sells quickly; the same boots in April will barely be seen.
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.
