Do you think Vinted sellers are bonkers when they do this?

[BeefAndHorseradishSandwich]

So, an item I bid on has been on for two months and I put in an (admittedly cheeky) offer and they still declined it. I just alway think that when it’s still sat in their wardrobe it’s worth precisely £0 so it’s best to get something isn’t it? Am I completely deluded here, please tell me? I’ve even had people sheepishly come back to me a couple of weeks later offering me a counter offer when their item still hasn’t sold. Sometimes I say yes, although it’s usually a no as I’ve gone on and bought something else once they said no.

The times I’ve sold on Vinted, I’ve taken whatever I’ve been offered because otherwise it would have gone to the charity shop so it’s a bonus 🤷‍♀️

nah sorry vinted is only new in Ireland but am close to 2k so far. We're linked to France so can sell to them and vice versa. all my clothes are very good brands good quality and in excellent condition. it takes time to photograph check for stains make repairs list photos and then pack and post. I would decline you automatically keep offering and your blocked. I hate the way people think things should be cheap as chips. that's why we have an abundance of poor quality clothes everywhere now. you can buy off someone else instead. I also sell at pop up markets sometimes and am listed on ebay depop aswell so stuff sells in the end. I also have space to store it properly and it's not in my way. I will then every so often donate to charity shop - they are always delighted to see me - would rather see them get the money then sell for a cheeky cheap offer

The one thing that annoys me with Vinted is when a seller declines my offer (and I never do ridiculously low ones) and doesn't do a counter offer which is all within their rights but then a week or so later makes a counter offer by which time I've bought something else.

Had this exact scenario with one seller who then got arsey with me for not waiting around for a couple of weeks to see if she had any other interest (she didn't) before she made her counter offer. 🤷.

Thing that gets me is I make a offer and the seller just ignores it! Plain rudez

I certainly don’t think they are bonkers!

I’m happy if someone puts in a sensible offer on something that has been for sale for a while but the people who try and drop the price by 30-50% the day I have listed an item I just think are rude.

I don’t accept any offers. The price I’ve put the item on is the price I’m willing to sell it.
im not posting anything for less.

I agree OP

No, I would rather keep it and would rather give it to a charity than some cheeky stranger taking the mick.

It’s not worth my time - someone sent a £1.20 offer for a £2 item. Like for £2 fine. £1.20 is barely covering the envelope! So I declined. It’s unique, worth more, someone will love and buy it

No I decide on a date. Whatever I haven’t sold I usually take to charity. I would rather do that than have the hassle of packing and sending, for only a couple of pounds.

Sometimes I accept offers sometimes I don't if it's a cheeky offer, because I know I price things reasonably. And often I'm not in a rush to sell and will try other places too like marketplace, car boot, eBay.
Some may accept if they are desperate for money or space. This is a very individual thing.

I think you can tell what a seller might accept by what they post it at - if they post for £18 I’m thinking they will probably consider £15. There’s no way I would offer say £8 or less on something priced at that kind of level. I personally would rather walk up and down the street and give an item away free than accept some crappy offer from a piss taker(but that’s just me). You know they’re going to start hassling you to post it immediately too. I sell nice products that are immaculate and I show the measurements unlike 80% of sellers. You want to chance your arm with the blurry dark photo brigade then crack on.

This! It’s not personal, you tell me what you want to get for it, I tell you what I want to pay for it. If either of us are willing to meet in the middle somewhere great, if not, turn down the offer. I’m not trying to scam you, I just place less value on the item than you do 🤷🏻‍♀️

To be honest I'd rather just chuck them in the clothes bin at the supermarket than find or buy something to package it up and drive it to a collection point (depending where you live that can be a good 10/15 mins away) especially if I'd have to queue up for ages all for a couple of quid. And with selling anything if someone comes in with a really low offer it would just get my back up and wouldn't sell to you anyway - and so often people that make really low offers are the same people that then chase you to post straight away. There's nothing wrong with it if you want to sell for a fraction of what you’ve advertised it for but that doesn't mean everyone has too 🤷‍♀️ it just isn't worth the hassle.

I agree. I sell most stuff for a pound just because I want it gone quick instead of hanging around the house. If it doesn't sell I get zero at the charity shop so would rather get £1 than nothing.

Crikey! You must have had an impressive amount of clothes!

It’s what it’s worth to them though isn’t it?
I often listed stuff and thought that if I get X amount, I will sell, if not I will just keep and wear.

I get really irritated by very low offers, and never accept them on principle. I'm open to reasonable offers, and am prepared to reduce prices by around 10%, but as others have said, I would rather give my things away to charity than to someone who makes a really cheeky offer.

I'd rather it go to the charity shop than accept a lowball offer from a stranger.

I think it depends, what was the asking price? And what was your offer?

Wow amazing return. Well done

I don’t care if I don’t sell it. Vinted is just a hobby for me. Quite lucrative, but I’m not counting on the cash to get by. I’d rather not sell it than give money to tight scrooges. I take great pleasure in declining their offers without making a counter offer.

If it's less than £3 I don't accept the offer as it's just not worth my time/postage bag/cost of washing it when I can pop it in the clothes bank on my way to work instead.

Yes this! I have bundle discounts than people want more off ffs, that really annoys me. I don't overprice items in the first place.

I don’t sell for less than £3 unless someone puts in a cheeky low offer when I’m already going to the PO to drop other parcels. I won’t make a special journey for less than £3. My rules.

Nah. If the offers really low then it isn't worth my time posting it. And then there's the petty side of me that would rather chuck something than give it to someone who puts in a rude offer.
