I only sell.

Heatherbell1978 · 27/05/2024 07:05

Kids clothes. I do buy occasionally for myself but it's hit and miss I find with the quality. Kids clothes have usually been worn less so more bargains there.

PotatoPudding · 27/05/2024 07:06

I buy women’s clothing, footwear and bags, kids’ clothing and footwear, kids’ books, toys, bedding unopened in packaging, travel cups, basically everything.

I only buy footwear brand new, though. I won’t buy it if it doesn’t come with the box. It’s the only thing I am really specific about.

T shirts with slogans
Retro converse
Nazi memorabilia

I buy women's clothing but absolutely only brands I'm very familiar with, and often only a particular design of dress I know fits. I have used it very successfully to repurchase wardrobe favourites that are not made any more and which are wearing out.

Handbags - loads of handbags !

Clothing

Toys

I buy loads of bags too and sell them back on when I get bored of them 😂

DillyDeclutter · 27/05/2024 07:19

Kids clothes in bundles- e.g. 10 pairs of leggings, 4 dresses.

Occasionally I'll buy specific clothes where I have it in one size and I'd like the kids to match.

Specific toys that I can't find in the Charity shop e.g. just bought a Peppa Pig bundle - they fly off the shelves in our local charity shops.

Lately the stuff I list has been selling in hours. DH thinks I'm pricing too low but I find it sells within a day or not at all.

Jeans and tops
Shoes
Ice cream maker

Clothes for me mostly. I haven't had so much success with clothes for the kids on vinted, I think the good stuff must sell too quickly.

Misthios · 27/05/2024 08:04

Clothes for me, I have had a couple of nearly new dresses I'm very pleased with.

imnotthatkindofmum · 27/05/2024 08:12

Shoes and kids clothes.

AIBunnecessary · 27/05/2024 08:17

I buy a lot of the kids clothes on there, sometimes shoes if they are in as new condition. I don't tend to buy for myself as I struggle to get the right fit annoyingly but if I knew what I wanted and the correct size I would buy on vinted for sure.

I've also brought squishmallows and playmobil and other little toys for the kids on there.

I generally sell all the kids clothes on there also.

BouleDeSuif · 27/05/2024 08:27

Kid's clothes, school trousers etc. Sometimes shoes for me.

I buy Clothes.

I try to sell most things. Books never seem to sell well.

I've found YA books seem to sell really well on there.

So do kids’ books, especially reading books.

Katemax82 · 27/05/2024 08:45

Really?

PotatoPudding · 27/05/2024 08:50

I thinks it’s especially good if you like certain brands and know what size you are in that brand. I love G-Star boyfriend jeans but they’re £100 a pop online. While they are excellent quality and suit me better than any other jeans, I would still rather not spend £100 on them. From Vinted, I have one pair BNWT for £20, one pair used but worn a couple of times for £10 and another for £6.

UnimaginableWindBird · 27/05/2024 08:51

Clothes. I've been especially successful in buying really good coats. I've spent £50 this year on two coats which would have cost around £1,000 in total if I'd bought them new.

Now that’s a bargain!

Baby clothes given they grow out of them so quickly

CalmConfident · 27/05/2024 08:52

This has encouraged me to get listing the huge pile of grey school trousers we seem to have accumulated. 2 crazy fast growing teens - I even have several pairs never worn with tags still on…but too late to return to M&S!

CalmConfident · 27/05/2024 08:53

Buying wise…Suits for 6th form, black tie formal wear and bed linen have been wins!
