Vinted …. How long do you keep things?

I’ve spent a lot of time just getting rid of accumulated ‘stuff’ I’ve got a long way to go but I’ve done several charity drop offs, a few tip trips etc.

anything decent has gone on Vinted but some stuff just isn’t selling/hasn’t sold… I’m not reducing stuff to a £1 I’d rather give it to a charity shop.

some things sold super quick like some summer bundles , tap shoes etc and some men’s trainers.

my issue is storing stuff once you’ve sorted it! For how long? Some things I’ve had for 4-5 months and I’ve decided that’s not going to sell and send it to charity. Or give away. But it’s really good stuff …

Try taking them off and relisting them so that they get to the top of the list again. I do this all the time and it does work (not always). I have all of my listed items in bags in the conservatory but I do need to go through them and take those that haven’t sold to the charity shop. I’ve got some that have been on for about a year.

Hello! I used to keep stuff for a year or two or maybe longer. As it was hidden away in a wardrobe I would forget about it, but now I keep things for three months max. I just don't want a build up of stuff. I either give it away or donate.

Probably a month. I do the re-listing trick also, and if it doesn’t sell, then off to charity shop it goes.

About 4-6 months. If it doesn’t sell in that time it goes to the nearest chazza. Life’s too short to hold on to things any longer than this, once you’ve decided to part with it.

Oh interesting on the re-listing does it save the listing?

I go on to edit the listing, copy the text, make sure I still have the photos in my camera roll and if not then screen shot the photos on the listing and crop slightly, delete the listing and list again.
