Excited to use this guys. Do you have any insight yet on how prices on Goat compare to other marketplaces? Quick point of feedback on the initial iOS experience: I was expecting to have more choice in picking the sneakers I'd like to own. Consider loading more sneakers beyond the *popular* results. Looking forward to selling my first pair ✌️
@mimurchison Awesome! We are transparent with sellers on how much they will make when they enter in their listing price and display a suggested price to them based on online data we have collected. Ultimately, it's up to them, but we are hoping they will understand through the UI that they make the most with us right now, offer a fair price to the buyer and ultimately move their merchandise faster. We are definitely lower priced than consignment shops like Flight Club. We will have to collect more data to show a better picture for all marketplaces, but would love to share this information once we have it. Regarding the sneakers to own on the onboarding flow, good point! This is a tricky one for us. We want people to move quickly into the app, but would also love for them to start out with a sneaker in their collection. At the moment we are actually contemplating dropping the user off into the app after they select their shoe size and not have them choose a sneaker they would like to own. Perhaps there is enough inspiration in app for them to add a sneaker or two. Thoughts?
