Cheapskates on Vinted

I'm having a (quite protracted) clear out and have been listing stuff on Vinted.

I listed a pair of brand new unworn leather slides, which I bought from Marks and Spencer for £39.50, for £10.

I've had lots of favourites and four people asking if I'd sell for £6. It's already a bloody bargain!

I've had little luck with Vinted.
One sale the buyer never picked up from the parcel collection point so it came back to me and I didn't get paid as delivery didn't complete.
The other sale made an offer, I accepted, and they never paid.
Given up!

I've never understood why people get annoyed with offers. People have the right to ask, and you have the right to decline. By the time you add postage and fees, and the fact you'd need to resell it on and recoup the cost of it didn't suit/didn't fit, I can see why you want it for as cheap as chips

Some people would rather give it charity than sell for too cheap, some people would just rather make a few pounds and get rid. No harm asking. Noone is forcing you!

People want to feel they are getting a deal. If you are hoping to sell for £10 then list for £12. Then people will offer closer to £10.

People always do it, vinted, ebay, everywhere.

If you don't like people making offers, perhaps Vinted isn't for you. It's a bargain in your eyes but some people are low on funds and use vinted to keep them/their family clothed, there's absolutely nothing wrong with making offers when that's the point of the platform.

Yes they are a pain, but people will try it on. I just politely refuse their offer. Funnily enough they bought it at the asking price..🤣

List it for £15

People like to feel they are getting a bargain, they can then offer you at 10 and everyone's a winner.
