WHAT CAN I DO WITH vIRLS?

vIRLs allow ownership without the hassle of storage & shipping

With vIRLs, you can collect and resell stuff like sneakers, apparel, and electronics - without the hassle of shipping or storage. How would you like to profit from selling a pair of Yeezy’s in just a few clicks - without ever having to deal with the whole madness of buying it, receiving it, and then selling and re-shipping it? It’s never been possible - until now.

Back in the olden days before vIRL launched, it took weeks to buy, sell, and profit from flipping a pair of Pharrell Human Races. You had to buy it, wait for it to ship to you, take pictures of it, convince potential buyers that it’s genuine, list it for sale, wait for someone to buy it, then ship it to the buyer, and wait to get paid.

With vIRLs, the entire process takes mere seconds, and just a few clicks. How is this possible? Glad you asked.

How is the value of a vIRL sneaker determined?

We set the value of the vIRL sneaker at the price that we pay for it when we purchase it, plus our associated expenses like shipping and warehousing. That makes up the value of the vIRL because that is what we pay to purchase and hold the sneakers, which we must do in order to guarantee that you can redeem it on demand whenever you want.

Why is the price of a vIRL different from other prices that I see online?
The price of a vIRL sneaker cannot be compared to similar sneakers you might see listed for sale on StockX, eBay, or other two-sided marketplaces. A vIRL by definition is 100% backed by a specific pair of sneakers. Availability is guaranteed. It is guaranteed because we hold that exact pair of sneakers in a secure warehouse. Those other sites have no inventory. They simply allow sellers to list items for sale. There is no guarantee that the item is even available anymore. It might have been listed on on multiple marketplaces and already sold.

There is simply nothing else like a vIRL that exists.

Are vIRLs different from the sneakers I buy on other websites like StockX or eBay?

Absolutely. A vIRL is both a physical and a virtual item. A pair of sneakers is … well, just a pair of sneakers. A vIRL is something much more. Think of a vIRL as a pair of sneakers that can be transported into the virtual world. A vIRL transforms a physical pair of sneakers into a digital, tradable commodity. vIRLs are unique because you can do things with your vIRL that are impossible to do with an ordinary pair of sneakers, see the differences here:
