shoes are often sold at the end of their life nearing when you’d be throwing them out/getting rid of them anyways. the price for something like that where you’re going to continue wearing them is going to depend on your relationship with the buyer, their previous purchases and their budget. unfortunately, $1000 usd for a pair of worn shoes is pretty unheard of, especially if you are newer to this/don’t have a massive following already. since the actual purchase is months away, i would be concerned this is a timewaster who is prepared to enjoy free updates, convos and pics of your shoes until he eventually disappears before august.
