Why are there different prices on the same item?Updated 2 hours ago

Every item on PUSHAS has one page, with a price against every size. Prices are driven by the payout each seller wants for their item, and by demand, which differs from size to size. The price you see against a size is the best one available for it at that moment.

Who sets the price?

Sellers decide the payout they want for a item, and that is what drives the price you see.

Different sellers want different amounts for the same item, so where several are listed in your size, the lowest price is the one shown.

Why does each size have a different price?

Because each size is really its own market.

A release can be sought after in one size and easy to find in another. Common sizes are crowded and competitive. Sizes at either end of the run are scarcer, and sellers price accordingly.

So one pair of sneakers can sit at one price in a US 9 and a very different price in a US 13, and neither is a mistake.

Am I always seeing the best price?

Yes. For every size, the price shown is the lowest available at that moment.

You do not need to hunt through listings or compare sellers. If a better price exists for the size you want, that is the one on the page.

Why did the price change since I last looked?

Prices move with live demand. Sellers adjust, pieces sell, and new listings arrive, so the best available price for a size changes as the market does.

On a scarce piece that movement can be quick, in both directions.

Why is one item cheaper than another that looks identical?

Usually condition of the packaging.

A listing marked as a damaged box sits below equivalent listings in the same size. The item inside is brand new, unworn and authenticated like everything else on PUSHAS. It is the box that is marked, and the listing says so before you buy.

Why do Fastest items sometimes cost more?

Because they are already with us.

A piece marked Fastest is held in a PUSHAS distribution center and has already been authenticated, so it dispatches immediately. Anything else has to reach us first. Buyers consistently pay a little more for the shorter wait, and that preference shows in the price.

Is every listing authenticated to the same standard?

Yes, without exception. Price has nothing to do with it.

The cheapest listing on a page goes through exactly the same hand authentication as the most expensive one, and neither ships until it passes.
