To hate unrealisic Vinted sellers?

I'd say that just because you're not willing to pay the list price doesn't mean someone else won't. I listed a bikini last weekend for £50 (Hunza). A very fair price. I had an offer within about an hour of listing it for £35. I went back to the person offering to say that as it hasn't been up long I want to see if I can get closer to asking. About ten mins later someone paid full price! I think they were being particularly cheeky with that offer to be fair as £50 is a good price for what it was.

I love using Vinted, it's worked well for me so far.

It's mainly clothes I sell and I list them for around 75% less than what they were new and have a good discount on bundles. I'll also accept offers if things don't shift quickly but they usually do at the low prices I put them on for.

I'm always honest about the quality and showcase them with plenty of quality pictures and a decent subscription.

I find it quite irritating when I see listings with poor quality pictures, lack of description such as measurements, material not shown and the worst are those listed as very good quality and its obvious they are not!

I don't mind items selling for £1, I'm not far from the postal lockers and drop items off daily on my walks so I'm benefiting from some exercise and I'm doing my little bit for sustainability.

I know but I used it get my hopes up thinking they were about to buy.

I buy and sell loads on Vinted. If I sell anything I consider it a bonus as previously it all went to charity shops. I sell cheap and get good feedback. If someone makes a reasonable offer I accept unless it's only just been posted.
My oddest experience was someone who offered £5 for an item I had up for £6. I accepted and then she offered £3🤣. That annoyed me enough to withdraw it and put in the charity bag.

When buying I always check out other listings. If there's a lot of rubbish, Primark or shein in there I won't buy from them. If their wardrobe is full of seasalt or the like I usually buy a bundle. I've only once had a bad experience. Something I would have called satisfactory that they listed as very good.

I sell things cheaply anyway, I’ve no interest wasting time responding to offers when everything sells at full price.

I've got quite a lot on vinted as I'm moving so for me it is about getting the stuff out of the house rather than making a lot of money, therefore I have a lot at £1.

I have a few bits listed. They’re already way under price and people still ask me for discounts. Sorry but I rather keep a dress before take less than my cut off, if I sell it, fine. If not. Fine. What I’m not going to do again is selling a dress worth more for £5 only for the buyers not to pick it up from their lockers twice, me having the hassle of shipping it twice for nothing in return. The price also includes my time I have to deal with the listings. If you think that’s too much that’s your prerogative and im not bothered.

What I find weird is people who are selling new items with tags which I can only guess as to where they are getting them from - maybe they work for the retailer etc but anyway one woman has a load of m&d bras. But with postage they’d be more than just going in the shop or online?! They’re priced so high. And you can even see the original price on the tags

That’s why I price up 10%!

I recently purchased a Fatface dress in a style that always sells out really quickly. I bought it in 2 colours ways and 2 sizes. The dress sells out really quickly so was tempted to list on Vinted for a bit more than the price a) to make bit of a profit and b)if someone missed out they wouldn’t mind paying a few £s the original price.

agree with this take, I’m not sure if I’m odd for thinking this but I’d never pay more than 50% of an items RRP if second hand.

Even in great condition, so it makes no sense when people try to sell for so close to retail esp when taking into account the fees and shipping costs

Lots of people will throw rather than sell too low. It erodes price expectations if you allow people to get used to buying for less.

Luxury brands use to do this all the time - destroy stock rather than discount. It protects the value of your brand/other stock you are still holding to sell.

Clearly its not the best approach for the environment.

If i own an item, and i am only willing to sell it if it raises enough money, thats my choice.

Its a bid on the part of sellers to maintain price levels by simply reducing supply at a lower price point.

They own the item & clearly do not need to sell it, the fact that you want it for less doesn't mean they should sell it.

I take offers on items that have been sitting there a while. Some people do completely over value their second hand goods, but it can take them a while to figure it out. I personally can't be bothered to sell things too cheaply, would rather take to charity or pass on to a friend.

I heard good things about Vinted, so downloaded the app. I will get rid, as can't be bothered with it. People are charging too much for secondhand clothes, I may as well add on another £10 and buy brand new. I prefer Ebay tbh Ive done well bidding on some good stuff

I think that same woman commented here 🤣

What do you think favourite is for? It's the equivalent of putting things in your Amazon basket for later or a wish list. I usually have 30 favourites at any given time.

I think the favouriting thing is because people are browsing the listings and marking items to compare later. That's what I do, I'll search "Jojo jumper" and favourite anything I like the look of, then comb through my favourites list to pick which one to buy. Although I do always go back and unfavourite afterwards so the seller doesn't get their hopes up.

I wish you could turn off the notifications for people who favourite your item though, I don't want to receive notifications as a seller or send them as a buyer!

That surely is not vinted right? No one can offer £10 on a £40 item

So you'd rather get zero pounds instead of a few pounds? That makes no sense to me. If I am not using an item I take offer, even if it's a fiver or even £3 it's better than nothing AND at least I know my item is getting used and not going to landfill. I use recycled packaging and try and drop if I have trip to town as opposed to drive specifically for the purpose of dropping the item.

And people who send an offer, you accept them you never hear from them again

I've had some offers that were ridiculous but usually I ask if they will split the difference between what I'd like and what they want to pay. Mostly it works. Today I sold something so quickly I can't help wondering if I under priced but tbh they are really happy with their purchase and I've got a bit of extra money.

What frustrates me is people who favourite things but then don't buy.

I had a reseller get hysterically abusive cos a Brora cardi had a ‘hole’ where the seams joined- a gap between stitches.

Got it back, relisted it for double, five stars to me.

Screenshotted her messages, sent to
Vinted.

I don't make offers as I find it annoying when people do, just buy it or not. I'm never desperate to sell it and I'm perfectly entitled not to accept an offer if I don't want to. Sometimes I do depending on whether it's made at a convenient time for me to post it out.
