To think people want something for nothing nowadays?!

I’ve started selling on Vinted, old clothes and shoes etc, well I say old but majority of them still have the tags on but have just been sitting in the wardrobe or only worn once or twice so still in pristine condition.

For example, I had some brand new jeans from New Look, still with the tags on (they cost £29.99). I put them up for £3 just to get rid of them because I need the wardrobe space, and people are still trying to offer me £1-1.50 for them!

I know that with postage fees you’re probably looking at around paying £5.50-6 in total but you’re still getting a brand new pair of £30 jeans for a fraction of the price!

The same way I had a pair of brand new, New Balance trainers up for sale, they cost £95 in the shops still so I put them up for £70 (so probably £75 with postage and packaging but still saving £20) and people were sat there trying to offer me £40 for them!

AIBU to think that people just want something for nothing nowadays?!

Regarding the trainers - if you buy privately, then you have no consumer rights even if they are brand new, so offers of £40 on a £90 pair of trainers is about right.

My NB trainers leak dye like crazy every time I go out if it's even the slightest bit damp!

YABU to be annoyed by it, just reject the offer. I sell on Vinted quite a lot. I tend not to accept offers if it's soon after listing something, but if something has been on there for a while and no one has bought it at the price I listed then fair enough. I'm doing it more to have a clear out than for the money anyway.
