I’m not hugely experienced with Vinted, have bought a few bits and bobs over about three years, sold a few, list infrequently but have recently listed about 50 items after DD had a clear out.
The first couple of days, early August, about half sold or were “favourited”. Now around 20 items are left, women’s and boys’ clothing, lots BNWT, and since Friday I’ve had umpteen offers of less than half the listed price! These are cheap items, ASOS, Next, Zara, but when a BNWT skirt is listed for an already low £3 and I’m offered £1.20, I’m declining. Is this usual for items that have been up for a few weeks? I’m not looking to make huge amounts, obviously, and of course the buyer’s premium and postage do add up, but do most sellers just accept the first offer or do you go back and forth (list at £3, they offer £1.20, I decline and suggest £2.50, they offer £2…)? It’s easier and probably more sensible to accept the first offer but I’ve never actually asked any seller to reduce the price and I don’t know if it’s a game some buyers expect to play! What’s your experience?
If I listed anything at £30 instead of £3, would the same % reduction be reasonable? Do you price high expecting to negotiate? I thought pricing low would shift loads but haggling over £1 seems too petty and I feel silly for fretting about it!
Lots of new and unworn baby clothes in the next bag to list, but it’s not feeling much fun any more.
