StockX offers the opportunity to buy sneakers or sold out items anywhere with absolute certainty of their authenticity, because if you find what you were looking for on Stockx, you can be sure: in the authentication centers around the world thousands of experts operate to give their opinion on every single item that then ends up for sale on the site. We, therefore, decided to give you an overview of how to buy and disentangle in the marketplace of every sneakerhead's dream.

Website registration

First of all, it is necessary to register on the site providing all the data that will allow you to sell and buy on StockX (name, surname, credit card, shipping address, etc. which the site calls "shipping info", "seller info" and "payout info"). You will then have your own profile where you can monitor, in addition to your personal transactions, purchases and sales, the market trend of everything you are interested in. The site gives you the possibility to know all the useful information for the purchase (prices divided by sizes, the retail price of items and price fluctuation compared to market value, etc.) The site gives you the opportunity to purchase within 4 product categories: sneakers, streetwear, watches, and handbags.

How to buy on StockX

Being a marketplace you have two different methods for buying on Stockx.

  • - BID: You can make your offer directly to the seller and offer your price, the seller will then decide whether to accept it or not.
  • - BUY: You can buy the product directly at the set price (always check the price for your size for sneakers).

Since StockX is a sort of stock market and as mentioned, by monitoring all price and demand fluctuations, it is used by anyone who wants to have detailed information also to sell or buy an item privately.

The site has several sub-categories where you can find anything, for example:

  • - MOST POPULAR: The most popular products are a curated collection of best selling items.
  • - NEW LOWEST ASKS: The new lowest asks are the products with the most recently listed lowest asks. These are the products that people are ready to sell.
  • - NEW HIGHEST BIDS: Most recently listed highest bids. These are the products that people are ready to buy.
  • - LATEST NEWS: The latest news on the streetwear and sneaker worlds.
  • - RELEASE CALENDAR: An updated calendar with all the info on upcoming releases.

Use of ‘New Lowest Price’ filter

If you visit StockX website, you will find filter options at the top right corner. There is a filter named ‘New Lowest Price’ and do not forget to apply this filter before you purchase. Within this filter StockX actually creates a list of products which are now offering at the lowest price and sellers are ready to sell at this lowest price.

Loyalty and Rewards Programs

StockX runs member-only loyalty points and rewards programs. These programs are designed for members only and can be accessed once you create an account. You can redeem your points and use them while purchasing which will save some bucks for you.

Check the ‘Drop List’

Every weak StockX publishes drop list. This list is actually is a summary of the popular sneakers and footwears of which price has been dropped a lot. To get the drop list you can check the news section of StockX. Check whether you favorite sneaker has been listed . If it is on the list, hurry up! Save more with the discount codes.

The StockX database is huge and for each item, you can find every kind of information you can imagine: high-resolution photos, release date, retail price, market value fluctuation and a description of the product in question.

In just a few years, StockX has become the reference platform for sneakerheads and streetwear addicts from all over the world, earning the success it deserves from all points of view.
