The Policy (Simple)

Clock starts: when a pair is received into your KNET inventory.
Free window: first 120 days — no storage fee.
After 120 days: $0.05 per item per day

Quick math:

Day 150 → 30 days × $0.05 = $1.50
Day 200 → 80 days × $0.05 = $4.00
Day 365 → 245 days × $0.05 = $12.25

Formula:

Storage cost per pair = max(0, Days on Hand − 120) × $0.05

Why We Do This (And Why It Helps You)

Turnover beats storage. Cash tied up in slow pairs is lost opportunity. A small nudge after Day 120 pushes you to move it and re-deploy into faster SKUs.
Cleaner ops = faster sales. Stale inventory clogs space and slows processing. A clean floor means quicker listings, better SLAs, and more velocity for everyone.
It’s cheaper than holding. $1.50–$4.00 over a month or two is nothing compared to missed flips, price drops, or capital drag.

Truth: you shouldn’t be holding sneakers past 120 days unless it’s a planned play. Most pairs should be gone well before that.

“But…”

“Storage fees eat profit.”

Only if you let pairs linger. Use auto-pricing to undercut lowest ask (not match) with a minimum payout floor. Cross-list everywhere through KNET to pull demand from more buyer pools.

“The market dipped; I’m waiting.”

Waiting costs more than a small haircut. Take the quick exit, recycle cash, and go again. In Q4 especially, speed wins.

“Some SKUs need more time.”

That’s fine—make it a choice. Set a floor you’re happy with across channels. If it still hasn’t moved by Day ~90–110, shift strategy (see playbook below).

How to Avoid Storage Fees (Playbook)

List Everywhere
Cross-list to StockX, GOAT, eBay, KICKS CREW, POIZON, TikTok Shop, KNET, KNET B2B, Surge (and more as added). More channels = faster exits.
Price to Win (Day 0–7)

Bulk Price Change → Liquidate to grab first sales.
Turn on Auto-Pricing with Undercut + Minimum Payout.
You stay first in line without going below your floor.

Weekly Review (Day 7+)

Check recent sales + current asks.
If the market rose, bump price; if it sagged, tighten spreads.
If a listing feels stale, deactivate and re-cross-list to refresh placement.

Decide by Day 90–110

Still slow? Options:
- Lower floor slightly to clear.
- Pivot channel mix (some SKUs sell better on different platforms).
- Plan a bulk exit via your account manager.

Benchmarks to Track

Days in Inventory (DII): aim < 45–60 days on bricks; < 90 days overall.
Sell-Through Rate (STR): weekly % sold vs. on-hand.
Turn Velocity: inventory turns per month (2–4× on bricks is healthy).
Real Net: payout minus all costs (purchase, fees, shipping, any storage).

Bottom Line

Storage fees are not a “tax.” They’re a guardrail that rewards good inventory habits: list everywhere, undercut to win with a minimum payout, review weekly, and keep cash moving. If you run that system, your sneakers won’t sit—and storage fees won’t touch you.
