Vinted seller deleting item and relisting it every day at a different price

[AlphaApple]

I favourited a dress on Vinted. It disappeared from my favourited item within a few hours but then reappeared on Vinted for sale £15 cheaper. I favourited it again. It disappears again and later I saw it listed again for more than the original price. Then, the following day it’s back down to the discounted price.

Rinse and repeat. It’s just done the same thing again. It’s definitely the same listing (same photos, same selling account). What is the seller doing??

Can't you just buy it rather than just add it as a favourite? Don't know how vinted works really but if it's what you want at the right price, just go for it.

That’s so weird ! And I’m totally clueless , makes no sense !

I might buy it if it’s listed for long enough! But it’s pretty common on Vinted to favourite something to consider properly later.

I've watched too much Elementary so I think it's a signal to someone. That price will mean something else to the person who is keeping an eye on it.

I’m guessing it’s not really a dress the seller is advertising. Is there anything unusual about the description?

Maybe it's a cry for help

Woah! Does this really happen or is it an urban myth?

Oh good, it's not just me 😂

Also, is there anything else in the picture of the dress? That would be too obvious though. It's got to be the price.

make notes of them in case it's a map coordinate!

If you try to buy it, I bet you can't

No unusual description…

I'm intrigued now. Is this some kind of John le Carre messages thing? Russian spies? Drug sales? Give me a clue..

I reckon they’re keeping it in newly listed and messaging their lover through the chat.

Or they’re just flaky.

Watch Elementary and you'll find out 😂

it's a great show - the evolution of the friendship between Holmes and Watson is a joy.

Can you post the link here? We all need to see it now!!

Maybe it's from a professional seller and they have multiple (same) items. Only list one at once to avoid being classified as "professional"

They will probably stop doing it now to show me up.

They have 115 very good reviews. Likely just deleting and relisting to try and get it sold.

If you drop the price on something it’s better to take it down and relist it as it’ll appear higher up in people’s searches and be recommended to people who’ve sold similar. If you just drop the price it stays low down. I do this if I do a price drop and it works well.

If you want the dresss just buy it or send an offer.

She’s done it again… fifth time at least now.

Right. Admit it. Who's just bought it?

No one! It’s back up: https://www.vinted.co.uk/items/7461872660-kate-spade-black-mini-dress

Ffs just buy it or get over it

It’s to try and get on the fyp which is mostly brand new listed stuff I think? I see a lot of sellers I follow do this
