NC as I'm probably recognisable so will NC back after this thread.

How much would you pay for this coat?

Tips taken on board thank you, I'll take some different pictures today. It's a lovely coat, very warm and keeps the chill out. It's a shame nobody has wanted it yet but you're right maybe it's the picture off putting potential buyers as admittedly it doesn't look very flattering.

The same brand has a very similar cost for £34.99 so no idea why anyone would pay £20 plus fees plus postage on Vinted. That’s barely a saving and it’s second hand with no return policy.

Never heard of the brand but a quick google suggests coast from there new are about £50/60. I wouldn't expect to sell it second hand for more than £10, you need a better picture though :)

Get a guy that is the right size to model it.

I buy on Vinted a lot and you won't get that much for that type of coat- they are very common, not rare, not a great brand, I'd take better pics, put it on for a tenner max (or £8.50) and take £7 for it. That's £7 you didn't have. If that's not enough for you to bother, give it to charity.

Vinted prices are low, and nothing much is selling on Ebay as a consequence. It's just realism. High end high street stuff like Cos or good bag brands still get ok prices, but they are still usually 1/4 of what the thing cost new.

The coat is DP's from a few years (and stones) ago, I dare say if I take pictures of him wearing it it'll be even less flattering bless him 😂

I agree. I’m definitely less interested if someone is wearing the item in the photo, and I buy almost all my clothes from eBay and Vinted. I think it’s because I find it harder to imagine it on myself if I’m looking at it on someone else. It’s even worse if the item doesn’t fit the person modelling it.

Plus on Vinted, a £10 coat will cost the buyer nearly £15 with postage and insurance. It's not worth £15 second-hand. What would it go for in a charity shop? £7?

I was going to say exactly this. It doesn't give any idea of how the coat would fit on the size it's actually meant for. I use vinted a lot and would scroll straight past that listing

Even a picture of it on a hanger would be better than that

I don't mind clothes as much, it's Shoes.

I don't like seeing other people's feet in the shoes. No one over the age of 12months has nice feet. 🤣

I was looking at womens coats on vinted today and it's all over the place. Poor quality mass produced fast fashion (missguided I am looking at you with those blooming duvet coats) are on for £50 or £60 when they don't cost much more brand new. I managed to grab a great bargain through. The Emma Willis full length black puffer coat for £30 😊

The website for that brand has the equivalent coat (length, style) for £47 new. The thing about selling second hand if it's not a brand people are actually looking for, is you're relying on someone to impulse-buy it and they're not going to pay as much as they would if they'd specifically set out to look for it.

Probably around £20 in my locals 😬

£5-£10

New £20

I doesn't look good, and the styling is pretty odd too.

I think with Vinted you do have to price low. When you factor in postage, and the chance that something might not fit well, and you can’t return it, as a buyer people don’t want a big risky outlay. I know I just bought two coats on there, one is a gorgeous Wallis one, the other I can’t remember brand but it’s a decent, smart coat. Each as between 12-15 quid. Definitely a bargain but I’d have been wary paying more incase I didn’t like them etc

But it's not selling at £20 on Vinted... and people are buying coats this time of year. I have changed my strategy with Vinted- I sell more things, cheaper but not too cheap. If it's not gone within a month it goes to charity. I also sell anything I buy that isn't ok when I get it immediately, I've got back £45 on a Cos coat, £15 on a nice jacket that doesn't suit me.

Good photo, competitive price, say you are prepared to negotiate and it might go!

That is not a good picture to use to sell it.
Maybe take photos of label, cuffs etc & link to the coat on a website.
Not heard of brand so maybe sell for £10.
I usually donate winter coats to food bank as they often have folk in need of one.

Seriously? Who gives a second hand coat as a Christmas present?

I buy plenty of my DC's Xmas presents second hand, they're little so wouldn't be impressed with a clothing item as a present but I've bought jumpers etc for my DM over the years?

I know you name changed etc but why did you keep yourself in the photo? But to the point- price would depend on brand and condition. But generally for a second hand coat no more than 20£

SEcondhand? £10. New in TK Maxx, £20.

Couldn’t give a monkey’s for “brands”. It’s not an attractive coat. Looks warm, though.

What's it made of?
Who is it made by?

Puffer coats are not all equal !

Probably £5 if it's polyester pasting from Asda.
£100 if recycled down from Patagonia / Arteryx etc
