‘Influencers’ selling gifted items

27 replies

Bit of an uproar in the instagram home community... Large instagram home account with over 50k followers who has been selling gifted items.
Im not sure where I stand, on the one hand she has been gifted the items, has done the (presumably) required #ad stating how much she loves the item and couldnt live without it usual garb and now its hers to sell on should she wish
But also half thinking its a bit cheeky to sell stuff you were given for free
Its not just the one item, she has sold stuff ranging from rrp £50-£1000
Whats your take on it?

Surely that's an even bigger reason to sell the bed, as they don't need two beds?

The brands saw value in sending the influencer the original bed - and got what they wanted from the business transaction. They probably won't want to work with her again as she's moved on to a rival, but it's much better to sell the bed than let it end up in a skip when you have bills to pay.
