How to Read This ROI Table

Sort by ROI%, Not Total Profit

High ROI means your capital works harder. A $35 wholesale pair with 80% ROI makes $28 per pair — stack 200 of those and you're at $5,600 profit with $7,000 invested. A $180 pair with 30% ROI makes $54 but requires $36,000 for the same profit level. ROI tells you capital efficiency.

Target Sell Price Should Be Conservative

I always use the lowest current StockX ask price minus 5% as my Target Sell Price. This builds in a buffer for price drops, returns, and market fluctuations. If the numbers still work at the conservative price, they'll work even better at market rate.

Green Light: ROI > 40%, Amber: 25-40%, Red: < 25%

Below 25% ROI at wholesale is too thin. A single return, box damage, or market dip wipes out your margin. I only buy below 25% if it's a proven high-volume mover (think Sambas at 200+ pairs) where the sheer quantity makes up for thin margins.

How to Fill This Out for Real Orders

Step 1: Get wholesale quotes from 3+ suppliers
Never compare just one supplier. Fill out one row per supplier per model. The table will show you which supplier gives the best net return, even if their wholesale price is slightly higher. Sometimes a supplier at $38 with $3 shipping beats one at $35 with $8 shipping.
Step 2: Estimate shipping per pair
Take your total freight quote (e.g., $800 for 200 pairs) and divide by the number of pairs ($4/pair). Add $2-3 for domestic shipping to the platform/authentication center. If unsure, use our shipping calculator first.
Step 3: Toggle between platforms
Click the StockX / GOAT / eBay buttons above to see which platform gives you the best net after fees. Sometimes eBay's 8% beats StockX's 9%, sometimes GOAT's higher sell-through rate justifies the extra 3% in fees. The numbers don't lie — let the table decide.
Step 4: Rank by ROI and allocate budget top-down
Once filled out, sort mentally by ROI% column. Your highest-ROI opportunities get the biggest budget allocation. Don't spread thin across 10 mediocre deals — concentrate on the top 4-5 where the numbers are strongest.
