I've found YA books seem to sell really well on there.

So do kids’ books, especially reading books.

I buy Clothes.

I try to sell most things. Books never seem to sell well.

Kid's clothes, school trousers etc. Sometimes shoes for me.

AIBunnecessary · 27/05/2024 08:17

I buy a lot of the kids clothes on there, sometimes shoes if they are in as new condition. I don't tend to buy for myself as I struggle to get the right fit annoyingly but if I knew what I wanted and the correct size I would buy on vinted for sure.

I've also brought squishmallows and playmobil and other little toys for the kids on there.

I generally sell all the kids clothes on there also.

imnotthatkindofmum · 27/05/2024 08:12

Shoes and kids clothes.

Misthios · 27/05/2024 08:04

Clothes for me, I have had a couple of nearly new dresses I'm very pleased with.

SatinHeart · 27/05/2024 08:00

Clothes for me mostly. I haven't had so much success with clothes for the kids on vinted, I think the good stuff must sell too quickly.

WoodBurningStov · 27/05/2024 07:51

Jeans and tops
Shoes
Ice cream maker

DillyDeclutter · 27/05/2024 07:19

Kids clothes in bundles- e.g. 10 pairs of leggings, 4 dresses.

Occasionally I'll buy specific clothes where I have it in one size and I'd like the kids to match.

Specific toys that I can't find in the Charity shop e.g. just bought a Peppa Pig bundle - they fly off the shelves in our local charity shops.

Lately the stuff I list has been selling in hours. DH thinks I'm pricing too low but I find it sells within a day or not at all.

Handbags - loads of handbags !

Clothing

Toys

I buy loads of bags too and sell them back on when I get bored of them 😂

Ineffable23 · 27/05/2024 07:09

I buy women's clothing but absolutely only brands I'm very familiar with, and often only a particular design of dress I know fits. I have used it very successfully to repurchase wardrobe favourites that are not made any more and which are wearing out.

seafronty · 27/05/2024 07:07

T shirts with slogans
Retro converse
Nazi memorabilia

PotatoPudding · 27/05/2024 07:06

I buy women’s clothing, footwear and bags, kids’ clothing and footwear, kids’ books, toys, bedding unopened in packaging, travel cups, basically everything.

I only buy footwear brand new, though. I won’t buy it if it doesn’t come with the box. It’s the only thing I am really specific about.

Heatherbell1978 · 27/05/2024 07:05

Kids clothes. I do buy occasionally for myself but it's hit and miss I find with the quality. Kids clothes have usually been worn less so more bargains there.

Riverlee · 27/05/2024 06:59

I only sell.

SkankingWombat · 27/05/2024 06:57

I buy mostly clothes for DCs, but also sports equipment for them such as football boots and swim fins. I buy all their training swimming costumes on Vinted and they are rarely not immaculate (competition suits are bought new). Occasionally I buy shoes, clothes for me and toys.

I sell everything the DCs outgrow that will raise more than £1-2 after having also passed on a good amount already to friends. I find supermarket brands don't sell, even at £1 when in perfect condition, so I hand these down along with anything we were lucky enough to have handed down to us that is still good - it doesn't feel right to make money on that kind of gift. So mostly clothes, shoes and the aforementioned equipment. Coats sell particularly well.
I have also been trying to clear the backlog of outgrown stuff from Covid times when I wasn't able to sell at baby sales, so everything just got bundled into the loft. I have had success with baby towels and bedding, Gro bags, and phonics scheme books.
What rarely seems to sell on there are bundles, whether listed as a bundle or buyer-created (to take advantage of multi-buy discount and combined postage). I used to regularly buy smaller bundles of baby clothes when mine were tiny and thought they were great as they were often carefully put together to make an outfit/capsule wardrobe or all be of a similar taste. There was fierce competition for them locally on FB Marketplace! I always check the seller's other items before buying on Vinted and will often add additional items, but I wonder if others don't always know this is an option?

sososotocvfgft · 27/05/2024 06:31

I buy all my toddlers clothes on there.
Have bought such a lot of items which are just fit for the bin, so it's been a completely false economy, but I now have tried most 'baby' brands so have a better idea of the quality of those brands. I'm only buying things that have tags on now as vinted sellers seem much cheekier than eBay sellers (or more desperate?).
Shocked at how expensive children's clothes are, and things like outfits for weddings etc are a real bargain as they aren't as likely to be worn to death and I'll only use them once or twice.

StarDolphins · 26/05/2024 21:25

I buy all my clothes (bar underwear) I go with the brands I like.

Mostly toddler clothes but also lunch box, boomwhackers & a jellycat asparagus stuffy 😂

DildoHarding · 26/05/2024 20:42

Vintage weebles, crochet books, mug trees to hang crochet on

BFE · 26/05/2024 20:41

All sorts of random shit.

Mostly clothes, but in the last week I’ve bought a back protector for horse riding and a light for my hot tub.

I sell things too, just a bit slack about listing them.

NotARealWookiie · 26/05/2024 20:41

Mostly clothes and kids/baby stuff

Talkwhilstyouwalk · 26/05/2024 20:40

Kids clothing. Amazing bargains to be had. Obsessed with boden!
