To ask would you be bothered to sell things for £1 or £2 on Vinted

I've started to try to sell low value items on Vinted. Twice now, with the same item someone has ordered it, paid for the postage & then not bothered to pick the item up, so it's been returned to me.
Why bother paying for postage & then not bother to collect 🤷‍♀️

I absolutely do, even fir the smaller amounts as it all adds up and I currently can't afford not to as I'm nit working due to ill health.

Yes I made over £700 mostly from £1-2 items last year. Many people bundled up and didn’t just buy 1 item.

Most of the things I have placed for sale on Vinted are under £5. I have a ridiculously packed wardrobe and more footwear than is probably legally permitted!! 😂 Add to that the fact that I have lost weight over the past year or so, and I have no problem selling my now unused clothes on Vinted and using the money to buy smaller sizes. It's definitely a win-win scenario for me. 😊

Its nice to sell for £1. I can get good baby stuff this way and its more like £4 after fees and shipping vs £8 in shops so a good deal.

i do. im currently on a selling spree at the moment as im moving house. lots sell for £1. i walk past lockers for all the postal services on my school run so its easy. plus i have the odd item for more. its amazing how quickly it adds up!

i wouldn't make a special journey to deliver though, only because its on my usual walk.

I have done before, because people tend to buy bundles so they would usually end up with more than just the one item.

When you're short of money and have ample time it's not a bad return. If you have the opposite then it's not worth it though.

No. There is no point for me in selling anything lower-end high street (Primark/New Look/Supermarket) as it either doesn't shift or is loads of effort for nowt. If it's a brand name like Dr Martens or Converse then I do sell, as well as mid-high street like White Stuff jumpers or Sweaty Betty.

I sell on eBay and Vinted as I have a lot of new with tags clothes that don't fit with me or I just went off for some reason.

I only sell for a profit on the cost I paid, which gets me a lot of disgruntled comments from buyers.

I recently had a clear out of my perfumes. I listed 20, mostly Primark ones for £1 each. Every single bottle sold within 30 mins! 2 bundles and 2 individual bottles. I only made about 18 quid but it was a good clear out

i do because its so easy!

I go through a fuck-it-all-need-a-clear-out and sell everything for under £3. And then I get fed up of trying to find an Evri shop that has a working machine... and take it all to charity.

Why are Evri so shite?

Yeah I do all the time. I hate binning stuff that can still be useful to someone and I have parcel lockers at the end of my road, whereas the nearest charity shop is miles away.

Honestly I’d happily list stuff for £0 and the recipient just pays postage, but Vinted doesn’t allow that so £1 it is (and I put any proceeds in DD’s savings account).

One of my daughters does. It’s easier than taking things to a charity shop as she passes post boxes etc on her way to work but no charity shops and she likes the fact it’s going to someone who actually wants the item.

She sells everything cheap too. She just sold an old handbag of mine for £15, it’s in perfect condition and cost about £300 new. I hadn’t used it for 15 or more years though so I’m just glad it’s gone.

I generally sell for between £5-£50 items, selling for less than £5 only makes sense if I have sold higher priced items as the nearest locker is a bit of a drive as I live in a rural area.

Saying that I have put the massive bag on stuff on Vinted yet I’ve been working myself up to do it 😂

The majority of my sales are under £2 - I made £600 last year. So overall I think it is worth it.

Lockers are on my walk to the gym or drive to work so I'm not going out my way to post. The odd Yodel parcel I get is slightly out my way but just means I take a different route to work.

Absolutely worth it, the money adds up and it helps the environment to reuse items. I hate seeing people put things that could be reused into landfill.

Most things I sell are for £1 or £2, it all adds up and doesn't take too much time to upload or post

I give it to my 13 year old to sell and he keeps the proceeds. He’s happy to do it and it’s an easy supplement to his pocket money.

I went through a phase of listing things and as others have said, low cost items are good as part of a batch so you’re not going to drop off specially. It wasn’t a particular fafd as my gym is right beside a drop off point for most things. I kind of lost interest though once the big items sold as it does take up a bit of time putting up pictures and responding. Not desperately in need of the money either, so I have gone back to charity shop drop offs as it gets everything out the door nice and quickly.

I'm a newbie to Vinted having favoured the clothing bins at the recycling centre for decluttering ease of getting the clothes out of the house.

I've spent the last 3yrs losing a lot of weight and cycling through cheap clothes from Shein and Primark so worth very little on resale. I am in the process of reselling the last of my larger clothes that are better brands as I am now buying good quality clothes from Vinted. I keep my prices low, bras at £1.50, jeans at £4.50, tops £2.50. I've made nearly £50 in the last month.

My post office is 5m walk and lockers are 10m walk from my house, I am time rich so it's no bother to me to walk to the lockers every day whilst walking the dog. My biggest bugbear is having to store the old clothes.

Agree with this. I haven't sold anything on Vinted but I buy a lot. The postage is the same regardless of number of items so if I see something I want, I'll scroll through the other items to see if I can make up a bundle. Often if there aren't lots of smaller bits to make up a bundle I won't buy the thing I looked at first, because with the postage it's not worth it for one item.

Over the past week I’ve just sold a whole heap of books and clothes for a pound each. It adds up.

My bottom limit is £3. Anything under that, is not really worth it (to me). It’s not worth my time, effort, packaging etc when it won’t even buy me a cup of coffee in most places in London where I live. I tend to equate everything to that price of coffee 😆.

when I first stared I accepted all offers. To this day I’m still annoyed I sold a brand new item with tags for a £1! I would say however most of my sales are the £3 to £5 mark. If you catch me on a really really good day and I’m already going to the shop to send, I may accept a stupid offer, but not a pound.

I guess it depends what you’re selling. I’m not a reseller, just a shopaholic, so I’m only selling my own stuff. Sometimes I think I’m selling my stuff too cheap and sometimes (most of the time) the feedback is people are so happy with my stuff and they can’t believe what they paid for it….but really I’ve struggled to get the higher prices in all honesty, everyone on Vinted wants something for nothing in my experience.

That said I spend an awful lot of money on my clothes and I can’t bear (or afford) just to give them away to charity. Every £3,4,5 I get is still something compared to the £0 I’ll get from the charity shop.

I don’t have the option to buy from vinted uk. I can only buy from Ireland and France. Lipsy, Zara, Mango have far nicer clothes in France.
