Delusional sellers on Vinted

No, I didn’t. I explained my thoughts in a post above, if you read the thread,

'....and asked if she'd be willing to sell hers for less.'
I think you missed this bit.

Surely it's because the original company offloads unsold stock once the sale has finished?

Yes but the seller wanted £100 for her item, the buyer asking for a reduction to less than £68 …so likely this would still be £60+ (and postage and fees)

All for a secondhand item …surely the better option was to just buy new. (And scroll past the ridiculous £100, secondhand version)

Loads of LEGO sets and they are already nearly the same price as thy are in the shop. I wonder is it some sort of scam

I get pissed off the most about people who buy stuff from Aldi special buys then stick them up for extortionate amounts, it’s just greed.

Yes I’m looking at you seller of the Aldi floral casserole dish…

I like a skincare product I first bought in Aldi for around £4. It’s a ‘Special Buy’ and rarely available. I’ve seen it listed for over £15 plus postage, no way. Just bought one, in its unopened box for £5. Happy to pay postage on it.

I have to agree about the presentation of some clothes. They look like cleaning rags in the photos.

There seems to be a lot of vinted related complaints about other people recently

If someone overprices something they will either sell it or not like anything else

People can choose to buy it or not we wouldn't know why they do it

The wash comment constantly amazes me too.
As do clothes laid on unmade beds.

She already said it, if she’d be willing to sell for less than the sale price?

I contacted the Vinted seller to tell her, and included a link to the cardigan on Hush as proof of the price, and asked if she'd be willing to sell hers for less

I’m interested in why you wanted hers, second hand?

Why waste time contacting her when it is obvious your better option is the new, much cheaper one, straight from Hush?

I only sell things that I know I will get minimum £10 for because frankly people looking to spend that are easier to deal with. It's the equivalent of charging for things on FB Marketplace to weed out the dross vs giving something away free and getting CFs asking for delivery of the free item.

I stopped selling on Vinted last night. I have been selling enough to pay for a small
DIY job. I sold everything at £3 or less which was great as things sold quickly.

But the shysters chancing their luck for a refund. I've had it twice now and the second time I refused as the item was in really lovely condition and referred back to the photos - she messaged me and said "it's only £2, why won't you refund me and let me keep it?"

she openely admitted she wanted a refund and to keep the item because it was only £2. Anyway, I said no and she left me a bad review!

It's just so unfair. Now I have a bad review I assume I wouldn't be able to sell anything else! (As a buyer, I wouldn't buy anything from a seller with a bad review!)

I did see a Primark dress being modelled on there last night and listed for £20 🤣

I don’t think it needed querying though, hence her frustrated response. I just offer a price and leave it to them to decide.

Yes, this. I have sometimes put in a lower offer and sent a quick message immediately after explaining that with Vinted fees and postage it would be cheaper to buy in the shop, but no worries if they didn't want to accept. They have always accepted when I have done this, but I wouldn't have minded if they didn't.

I queried with a seller, selling new item with tags that by the time I had paid postage and buyers fee it was way more than it was selling for in the shop. Their reply was did I want it. Crikey no I didn’t.

last summer someone was selling flip flops showing a picture of them wearing them and they had nail fungus. What the heck you couldn't even have paid me to have them. Yuk.

That’s gross!

But if she bought it full price why should she sell it for cheaper just because you saw it reduced? She is happy to wait for it to sell and you should have just bought it for the reduced price from the shop.

I completely agree with you OP.
I found a lovely Hush cardigan on Vinted. But I was surprised by the price. It was worn, used, and selling for £100.
I went to Hush website and found the exact same cardigan in my size selling at £63.
I contacted the Vinted seller to tell her, and included a link to the cardigan on Hush as proof of the price, and asked if she'd be willing to sell hers for less.
Her reply: "You should definitely buy it from Hush! It's cheaper and brand new! My one is more expensive and already well worn! No I'm not dropping my price!"
I was like, eh?
So I bought the new one from Hush. Haven't stopped wearing it. And hers is still sitting on Vinted un-sold.
Mind boggling.

This is me!

No it’s my mil has a shopping addiction. Some of it is nice but I can’t house that many clothes. I just can’t. So may as well pass it on straight away

The delusion works both ways. I had sold a long sleeved Ralph Lauren top. I had stated it was not new. Minor imperfections. Photos attached etc. I got a message from the buyer zooming in on the tiniest imperfection and wanting a refund. I sold that top for £2.50.
I just thought whatever, you saddo. Won’t be selling to him again.

Or state it needs washing. Then bloody well wash it.

Not everyone can get out to the shops.

I’m currently selling things a few things I bought pre-kids that have never been worn. I had recurrent mc’s so my weight fluctuated a lot so I kept them incase.

I sell quite a bit on Vinted and eBay and I am so tired of the messages from people on Vinted asking why I’ve priced my items so highly.

Why don’t these twats understand that no one is forcing them to buy?!

I hope they grimace when they see the ‘Sold’
sign flash up on my items. Sold for the asking price, or very near offer.

omg!
Yuk.
now thinking of digging through bottom of wardrobe. 😂
