Used trainers in Birmingham, England typically sell for £18 to £100 (about $24 to $135). Trainers sell on model and sole condition, so photograph the soles first — buyers judge remaining life from the tread and heel before they look at anything else.
Selling trainers in Birmingham
Birmingham is the UK’s second city and a manufacturing one by history, with the Jewellery Quarter still working gold on the same streets it has for two centuries. That leaves a real local market in jewellery and tools alongside the ordinary churn of a very large student city with three universities inside the ring road. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
The student population arrives in September and clears out in June, and the June clear-out is when the good furniture and desk kit appears. Households in the outer suburbs turn over more slowly, which is where the older, better-made furniture tends to surface.
For anything gold, ask whether it carries a British hallmark and photograph it. Hallmarking is normal on jewellery sold here, and its absence is not proof of anything but it is worth a question before money changes hands.
Birmingham, in England, has around 1.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. London, Leeds and Sheffield are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Birmingham
Royal Mail, Evri and InPost cover the whole country, and InPost lockers mean neither side has to be in for a delivery. Tracked 48 is the usual default for small parcels. Around Jewellery Quarter, Digbeth and Selly Oak are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.

Common questions
Where can I sell trainers in Birmingham?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. New Street sits in the middle of everything and is where most small handovers get arranged. Unlike London, driving is genuinely practical here: the ring road and the retail parks around it mean furniture collection is a normal weekend errand rather than a logistical problem.
Do you have the box?
Say either way. Original boxes add value on collectable models and make postage safer on all of them.
