Parents buy Jordans for their kids and the kids outgrow them in months. Buy used kids' Jordans in grade school and preschool sizes from FB Marketplace for $20-50. Clean them and resell on eBay for $50-100. Kids' sneakers in good condition sell fast because parents know their kids will trash them anyway and do not want to pay full retail. This is an overlooked niche with less competition than adult sizing.
🚀 First Step
Search 'boys Jordans size' or 'kids Jordans' on FB Marketplace and eBay, find 3 pairs under $30 in clean condition, and buy them.
  • Kids' Jordans in sizes 1Y-7Y are the sweet spot — toddlers through elementary school ages
  • Parents sell kids' sneakers cheap because they just want them out of the house
  • Grade school sizes (3.5Y-7Y) sometimes overlap with small women's sizes, doubling your buyer pool
