Used skate shoes in Erode typically sell for ₹1,900 to ₹7,000 (about $20 to $74). Skate shoes are bought by two different people — skaters who want to skate them, and everyone else who wants the look — and the ollie patch tells each of them what they need to know.
Selling skate shoes in Erode
Erode is one of the country’s largest turmeric markets and a major textile centre, with handloom and powerloom production and a wholesale cloth trade that draws buyers from well beyond the state. Agriculture and cloth run side by side here.
Trading income arrives with the turmeric and cloth seasons, and households upgrade when it does. The textile trade’s good and bad years move the second-hand market here more than anything else.
The wholesale market area is the landmark everyone knows, though it is congested on trading days. For anything large, agree a spot on a main road rather than inside the market lanes.
On cloth and textiles, ask whether the piece is export surplus or seconds. Both circulate here in volume and are perfectly good buys, but they are not the same thing and the price should reflect which.
Handing it over in Erode
Two practical things shape a sale here. Courier serviceability varies by PIN code rather than by city, so check the buyer’s code before promising delivery. And packaging matters more than most sellers expect on long domestic routes — a poorly wrapped parcel arriving damaged is the commonest cause of a dispute.
What skate shoes are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised skate brands with a following
- Intact ollie patch with no wear-through
What pulls it down
- Separated vulcanised soles

Working out what yours is worth
- Check the ollie patch area on the outer side
- Inspect where the sole meets the upper for separation
Getting it ready
- Check the ollie patch area on the outer side of the toe for wear or a hole, which is where skate shoes fail first.
- Wash the laces and clean the suede with a brush rather than water, which stains it permanently.

Brand and model, then colourway: “Vans Old Skool Skate Shoes, UK 9, Black White” or “Nike SB Dunk Low, EU 43”. Colourway names are how this market searches, so use the official one if you know it. Say deadstock only if they are genuinely unworn.
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 skate shoes in Erode?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. The wholesale market area is the landmark everyone knows, though it is congested on trading days. For anything large, agree a spot on a main road rather than inside the market lanes.
Are they deadstock?
Only say yes if they have never been worn outdoors and you still have the box. It is a term with a precise meaning in this market and misusing it ends the sale.
