Selling sneakers in Saint John
Industrial shift work runs on its own cycle and the older housing stock turns over with old contents. Damp and fog mean storage conditions matter more here than in most of the country.
The uptown core is compact and hilly with limited parking, so confirm access for anything large. The city is spread around the harbour, so agree which side rather than assuming a short trip.
Fog here is a summer constant, not an occasional thing. Ask where the item was stored and check any metal fitting for corrosion, particularly on anything kept near the harbour.
Saint John, in New Brunswick, has around 70,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Moncton, Fredericton and Toronto are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Saint John
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

What sneakers are worth
What lifts the price
- Deadstock or barely-worn condition with the original box
- Clean midsoles with no yellowing
What pulls it down
- Sole separation, common on older stored pairs
- Missing box on releases where collectors expect it
Working out what yours is worth
- Find the style code on the label inside the tongue
- Photograph the soles and toe box honestly in daylight
Getting it ready
- Clean them properly: uppers, midsoles and laces. Cleaning is worth more on sneakers than on any other clothing item.
- Check the midsole for creasing and yellowing, and the heel for wear, and look for any sole separation.

Put in the description
- Size, with the sizing system stated explicitly
- Whether the original box, spare laces or receipt are included
Brand, model and size with the sizing system: “Nike Air Max 90, UK 9, White/Grey”. Sneaker buyers search by model name and colourway, so both belong in the title. Always state whether the size is UK, US or EU — the commonest cause of a returned pair is a sizing system mix-up.
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.
