market profile

• text: Buyers seek scarce releases while sellers need a fast sale and a trusted payment process.
• text: Lightspeed describes a 2016 launch; the App Store lists a 2020 release and the website's Android statements conflict, so present operations need verification.

personas

• title: Sneaker collector
  pains:

  • Limited releases sell out before the buyer gets access.
  • Online resale can leave a buyer uncertain whether the delivered item matches its listing.
• title: Sneaker reseller
  pains:

  • Slow listings tie up cash in collectible inventory.
  • Needs serious bidders and confidence of payment after a sale.
• title: Independent sneaker shop owner
  pains:

  • Needs demand outside the local store for limited inventory.
  • Must weigh fast turnover against marketplace fees.

objections

• objection: What if the item does not match the listing?
  response: The FAQ describes payment protection and a 24-hour reporting window; verify the current claims process before purchasing.
• objection: What does it cost to sell?
  response: The posted terms describe free listings and a 10% transaction fee excluding shipping and tax, plus a cancellation fee in specified cases.
• objection: Does the sale guarantee apply to every listing?
  response: The homepage limits it to approved items; App Store release notes mention an exception when sellers set their own starting price. Confirm current rules.
