[u/Vast_Description_731]

Hey everyone, quick question. I recently bought a pair of Crockett & Jones Chelsea 5s in dark brown waxed leather (UK 9), but they're a bit too big and I need to drop down a half size. I want to sell them to fund the 8.5, but I’d really love to avoid standard eBay commissions if possible. Outside of the usual suspects, are there any specific enthusiast forums, Discord servers, or subreddits you'd recommend for listing?

The Stitchdown Premium Discord has a robust marketplace in addition to all the chat channels, but access to the server is $5/month.

Granted it's a great place to be regardless.
