Thinking Vinted will see Charity Shops out of business?

If you're a chazza fan like me have you noticed how they're not busy?
Vinted is new in the great scheme of things and fantastic. It's a new discovery] for me.
I'm not sure how sympathetic I am towards chazzas losing business because the profits aren't shared

Cancer Research Uk are closing 600 high street stores this year...

I agree they will close. But not necessarily because of V. More to over pricing due to their other heads and entitlement.

Charity shops are too expensive and overwhelming

I need organisation

I don't manage to go to charity shops but do use Vinted as it's very easy to search for exact brands / items . I don't think they are in competition with each other particularly .

I don't think 'chazza' will catch on

I love our local chazza. It's an RSPCA one and I take all my unwanted and outgrown clothing there. I also donate to other local animal charity shops. I've noticed that some days they're quite quiet when i go in but then again sometimes busier. I've never tried Vinted can't say. Lots of people love a rummage in a charity shop so I think they will always be a need for them (well I hope so)

Not at all, I think in general they have very different demographics.
