Sneaker liquidity, without liquidation

Sell your sneakers for cash, or don't

Every option on this results page wants to take your pairs: marketplaces with 15%+ fees and waiting, consignment stores with their cut, buyers with lowball offers. Here is the one they will not give you: cash for your sneakers without losing them.

PledgeApp pays a cash prepayment of 45 to 55% of market value on eligible sneakers, with cash payout within 48 hours of arrival. Your pairs go into insured vault storage, and at the end of your term you choose: pay back and get everything shipped home, extend, or settle and keep the cash.

The resale market moves. Your position does not have to.

Selling works when you are done with a pair. But resellers and collectors usually are not done; they are managing positions. Financing frees the cash inside your inventory without liquidating it, and when a pair appreciates during your term, that upside is still yours.

Importantly, PledgeApp will never sell your pairs without your express consent. Selling is completely optional. Only when you set a Target Payout Price within the Pledge system will an asset get listed for sale.

Your pairs are safer than they sound

  • Vaulted and insured. Stored in a professional vault, insured while in Pledge's custody.

  • You keep ownership. Legally, you are the consignor. The pairs remain yours through the whole term.

  • No surprises. Every number above appears in your Prepaid Consignment Agreement before you ship anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Local consignment shops and buyers exist in most cities, and they typically pay 30% to 40% of market value to resell at full price. PledgeApp works by insured mail nationwide, with no across-the-counter negotiation, and unlike any local buyer, you keep the pairs. Cash payout within 48 hours of arrival.

Cash payout within 48 hours of arrival.

No. Pledge gives you the option to unlock upfront liquidity while retaining ownership. Selling is optional. You can withdraw your eligible unsold pairs once your prepayment and any outstanding fees are repaid.

Our proprietary underwriting algorithm checks recent sales data and up to 6 months of sales history to determine your asset's valuation. Pairs with high liquidity and consistent sale prices receive higher valuations and qualify for higher prepayment ratios.

Nothing changes for you. Your payment obligations are fixed on day one, and Pledge has no right to force a sale or liquidate your inventory without your permission, even if market prices drop.

Financing is subject to asset eligibility, inspection, approval, and Pledge's applicable terms. Customers act as consignors and retain ownership of their assets, while Pledge acts as consignee and holds the assets during the financing term. Advance amounts, fees, and terms vary. Failure to satisfy your obligations may result in Pledge retaining or selling the assets as provided in your Prepaid Consignment Agreement.
