Vinted - now I've seen everything

[bookworm1982]

Someone selling coasters with tea splattered all over them. I'm honestly gobsmacked.

Adds to the relaxed look 😂 Love it.

Adds to the relaxed look. 🙄😆

How many of your English pounds do they want for this retro treasure?

I remember seeing an advert in the local paper offering a bag of odd socks for £5.

Also a journalist who listed a few strands of old rope on eBay when it first started. He sold it.

How much are they asking for these rare delights? I generally love Vinted and have bought and sold a lot but people take the piss. Someone is trying to sell a Lego set for £2 more than I can get it on Amazon. Add the postage and it's about a fiver more

They are asking for £3.50.

I love Vinted. I sell lots on it and you can buy really good stuff. But this is odd, I think you've got to be a bit dim to try and sell something like this!

Unless it's a joke and this person is actually a comedy genius, in which case, it's brilliant 🤣

🤣🤣🤣

One man's junk is another man's treasure OP 😉

They would be ok used to put under jar candles or plant pots but as coasters they have had their day.

The best thing on Vinted is when they say ‘brand new, never worn’ whilst modelling it.

Sometimes things are so tight you resort to this sort of thing in desperation. My mum used to have to save up coppers to buy me milk as a baby, this is the modern day version of that. If you've never been dirt poor you can't understand it.

You can get new coasters cheaper than that though.

It's like something Joe Lycett would do for one of his shows.

I saw a pair of kids wellies the other day, caked in mud, fronts all scuffed and the handles on both boots were all completely snapped off.... they wanted £2! The mind boggles!

I remember the 'money for old rope' article, he found some washed up rope on the beach listed it on Ebay and sold it! If I recall he didn't factor in p&p though😉

I think the poster means the seller is desperate, not the buyer.

Does anyone else think vinted is driving down the price of decent second hand stuff? (I mean decent, not like the coasters the op found!)

I am looking to sell a lovely Boden coat that cost over £50 new and I've previously seen for sale used on eBay for £20- Vinted gave a recommended price of £2!

They’re only good enough for the charity shop!

Yeah, not sure a ridged surface with lovely little puddle ruts was ever a great design idea for a coaster!

A charity shop would bin them as they are stained.

Yes, the seller.

@Redleaftea

I agree.

I started selling on Vinted last year after me and EBay fell out but it's hardly worth it.

For every shitty pisstaking seller complained about on here, there are a 100 hardnosed buyers who literally want something for nothing. No one wants to pay a fair or even a bargain price; they are only happy if they can brag that they've ripped someone off or bartered someone down.

I charity shop everything now and feel happy that at least I am helping my chosen charity even if I'm not earning money.

I saw someone selling a used toilet brush the other day!! Wtaf!

I saw really dirty, muddy, worn-out children's sneakers being sold on Vinted for 2 pounds I think.

I couldn't believe that people would sell something like that instead of just binning it.

Surely even children from poorer families deserve to wear a clean, nice-looking pair of shoes?

I only sell things on Vinted if there in a good state. Everything else is just taking the piss.

Those coasters could be nice if they were cleaned up - by the seller! I don't understand why people attempt to sell dirty stuff, aren't they embarrassed? Worst is when they say "just needs a wipe/ just needs a quick iron". Just do it yourself then and it might sell!
