Brand new DMs not selling on Vinted

She messaged me to offer me the ridiculously low price. It happens a lot.

Ok with fees they are more than buying new. Doc martens that are sold out come back in stock - I think £60 (which is about £70 for the buyer) and it would be the same as buying them with a discount voucher.

Dont forget people will have to pay postage so if they can go in a shop and buy them for £84 I’m afraid they won’t sell for £85 on Vinted, I’d try listing them at £60 but maybe accept £55 if offered. People do indeed buy expensive items in Vinted I have sold a cost for £100 before, but just depends on the item

Try Depop- better for designer stuff

I don’t think your price is unreasonable and see may boots sold for higher prices via a more specialist selling group.
gold luck and ignore the negative comments.

You need to be patient. I think this is a colour /style which wouldn’t appeal to everyone. For example, I like the look of pink DM’s but would never buy them (despite having numerous DMs) because I’d feel self conscious wearing them. Keep them on Vinted and just wait for the right buyer to come along.

It's worth a try for store credit even if no refund.
On Vinted £35-45 max. They are a bit niche and most people are looking for standard stuff on Vinted or ABSOLUTE bargains. I never pay the listed price. With the risk involved it's not worth paying over £20 for anything.

But what model and how much were they selling for retail

Just return them to the shop if you ordered online. I’ve sent returns back late before and have never had any query raised by the retailer.

You need to bear in mind that buyer pays for delivery. So probably £90+ and in that case someone might as well go buy them brand new from a shop, where they know they won’t get scammed (that’s my theory when I buy off vinted)

You are unfortunately going to have to see your lost cost in the reduced sale price as the tax you pay for failing to return on time.

have you asked the shop if you could swap them?

Sold my bnwt on vinted for 90 🤷‍♀️

To many fake DMs and scammers using none existent DMs for me to part with £85 on vinted, eBay or marketplace.
Especially as they usually use ones that are out of stock on the DM website.

There’s a good group on Facebook - preowned but still lovely - or try searching for a DM group on Facebook - more likely to be demand there.

I don't know - I tend to sell things that are a bit niche, so they won't sell just because they are cheap, they'll sell if somebody wants them.

Some people buy from ebay without looking at the brand's site.

I've sold DMs on Ebay for £110

And 85 on vinted recently

And £50 for pretty worn ones!

Might, but they haven't thus far. I would take that as a sign.

It might just be the lights in the room reflecting off the side of the sole, but the black edge near the arch has pale patches that look like mud/dust (also the box looks dented) You may want to re-do the picture if you re-list them.

You can't expect people to pay that for DMs on Vinted. Even on Ebay you'd be chancing it. Try £40.00, that might get them shifted. £85.00 is ludicrous.
I have spent decent money on Vinted, for a pair of Valentinos that had only been worn once. I paid an authentication fee and I didn't regret it for a second, so it isn't true that nobody will pay good money for anything. However, it has to be a bargain. I think I paid around £300.00 for the Valentinos, and they retail at around £600.00. Ergo it is about proportion, not outright price.

I’ve bought and had people buy ‘expensive’ things on Vinted.

The difference is unless the item is unique (maybe this is) AND in high demand (maybe this appeals to a smaller group of people), you’ll never get close to RRP and why would you? People have to pay protection fee plus shipping, there’s more risk and they can’t return

It’s not the same proposition as buying from a shop at all.

Well, that's unfortunate for you, but that is nobody else's problem. I also have ADHD and I have systems in place for dealing with it. If you know that you have memory gaps, you need to find work arounds or you will have bigger problems than forgetting to return a pair of shoes.

I've sold a fair few pairs of DMs.

I usually buy them in the sale and sell them for around the same price I paid in the sale.

I think alot depends on the style of boots. I don't think the monkey boots are a great seller. The jadons and sinclairs sell well.

seem rather optimistic that someone will pay close to RRP
If the shoes are no longer available to buy new because they are sold out or discontinued, they might. I think they look fun and might be tempted but they are several sizes too big for me.

I've not read the whole thread, but you do seem rather optimistic that someone will pay close to RRP for your boots that they can't try on before committing to buy.

Vinted isn't the place to sell them, but you could try FB marketplace or even eBay.

From my own experience, I listed a brand new pair of Timberland knee high boots for £70 which was a vast reduction from its RRP already. I had someone message me asking whether I'd accept £30 for them. They were trying to flog a wallet for £200 themselves! In the end, I decided to take it off Vinted and gift them to my sister who loved them.

Good luck on selling them.
