To be making offers on vinted?

[Eileen101]

I'm selling my kids outgrown clothes on vinted and I usually buy their new stuff there too. I usually favourite a few bits to watch for price changes or to put everything I like in one place.

When people favourite any of my listings, I usually make them an offer, taking off, for example, £1.

I was reading elsewhere about how people find it an intrusion/inconvenient etc to be made an offer. This seems strange to me because if it's something I like enough to have favourited it, I'd love a bit of money off

AIBU to be making offers to people who favourite my items for sale?

I ignore them usually tbh I do find it a bit intrusive. I usually favourite a few things to choose from later or when I get paid.

It’s quite pushy.

Don’t really understand how it’s is intrustive? 😂
If people are browsing an app where literally the whole purpose is to purchase clothes and you make them an offer that they don’t have to take, it’s intrusive? Some people will literally get offended over anything.

Its basically the same as those ‘you left something in your basket here is 10% off’ emails.

Been using Vinted for a year now to buy and sell- Don't find it at all intrusive and find I usually snap up some of these offers

If people don't like it, they'll ignore. Carry on, I say!

Sometimes I favourite a few things to see what they go for so I can get an idea of what price to put my own things up for sale at. I don’t like being offered discounts unless I’ve actually enquired about an item.

I don't mind it as long as there's no pressure. Once I've had someone get funny and questioning me why I hadn't bought their item. That put me off completely!
I've had messages along the lines of 'I see you favourited my item,here's a discount if you're still interested.'
Those type of ones I usually end up buying 😊

No, I don't find it intrusive, it's just part of the process. I appreciate the offers!

I really don't get the view that it's intrusive or pushy - you've been offered a discount! Ive been offered discounts on items I'm watching on eBay a few times. I don't find it intrusive or an issue. If I don't bite it's because I'm watching to see how much they sell for as I've got similar to sell myself or the discount isn't attractive enough. There's no obligation.

I’ve often been enticed by a message saying there’s a price drop. I don’t think it matters if a few people think that’s intrusive - especially if it’s obvious the same message has gone out to everyone who favourited it and it’s very generic and easily ignored.

The ones I don’t like is someone saying “just to let you know I’m off to the post office today if you still want this”. That’s too pushy and you aren’t offering anything new - if I liked your item at its list price I probably would have bought it when I saw it

People are weird !
It's the way Vinted works , you can ignore them or counter offer !!
Honestly some people are so precious ! 🙄🙄

Agree! I like getting offers, I'm more likely to buy something if I've been sent an offer

I love getting offers! They’re the pragmatic sellers - what’s worse are the stubborn overpriced ones. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, £4 is better than listing something for a tenner that isn’t selling

I always message first with a hello and then I ask whether they can take some money off, particularly if I'm buying a few bits at the same time. I don't go straight to making offers because I find it a bit pushy.

I think it's fine as long as you don't mind people ignoring you who favourite but didn't really intend to buy! If you get a lot accepting your offer I'm sire they were glad to get the item cheaper

I've not used vinted (DH has) but I will put things in my basket in simply be as I know there is probably more than 50% chance they will email me a discount code 😂

I wouldn't find it intrusive. It's an email, it's not like you are ringing them up!

I like it. If im not interested, i ignore. Its no big deal

This. Sometimes I favourite something until I get paid, sometimes I do it to go back to later in the day when I have more time. Sometimes you get an offer, sometimes I ignore it. I'd not thought it was something to have an opinion on. 😬

An interesting range of views.

I'd also thought it wasn't particularly something to have an opinion on either until recently, but I accept I'm quite laid back and other people get aggravated by something I wouldn't have thought was a bother.

I don't find it intrusive to get offers but I do use favorites as a way to save and come back later. It's only when you get multiple messages that it gets annoying.

'Hey hun were you interested in the dress?'
'Hey huni this is still available'
'Hi Hon did you like my offer?'

I price items well and don’t accept offers. I do find it annoying tbh.

Of course it's not intrusive that's how Vinted works! If people are offended by it then they shouldn't favourite things (and also who gets offended by a discount)

I favourite things in the hope that I'll be offered a discount and I usually offer a discount if something's been on for a while and I want to get rid.

For what it's worth I also use the make an offer button to buy as well, if something's been on there for a while and usually save a few quid or they meet half way.

I love Vinted!!

I LOVE offers!

LOVE AN OFFER, I repeat LOVE AN OFFER.

remember we live in the times of the perpetually offended.

imagine having the gaul to try to sell something on a selling site gasp

crack on OP. What’s your username btw? I love buying boys clothes on it so if you have anything from age 5-9 hit me up!

I’ve only just started using Vinted this week, i favourited a pair of trainers and was surprised to get a message to see if I want to talk about price. I didn’t find it intrusive.

Im also selling a few things and most people have been nice and polite. I did have one person message asking if I’d sell a bnwt boutique dress for £4 instead of £10 (hugely under priced to start with). But then sent about 10 messages in the space of 20 mins. Lots of ???? Can I reserve? Really like the dress!!! Hi hun???

It sold within the hour or putting it up.

It wouldn’t cross my mind to send people offers who have favourited though, I might start doing it!
