The kids grow. I'm always selling the kids clothes.

I’ve always got a Vinted bag on the go.
I add to it periodically.

I regularly sell stuff. Usually my DSS’ old toys, clothes I know I won’t wear anymore, bits I find when clearing out. I only do a few bits at a time so it’s like a steady stream - not deliberate it’s just as I find stuff that needs selling.

Kids outgrow clothes
no longer interested in certain books
getting rid of seasonal clothes (halloween, christmas jumpers)
unwanted presents
lost weight and have a ton of clothes to sell (my favourite reason 🤣🥳)

How do people find the time/organisational ability??

I sell my clothes on Vinted all the time. I’ve sold two dresses I wore over Christmas today.

I buy outfits on there, wear them and then resell. So I’ve got a constantly fresh wardrobe

I’ve sold quite a lot the last year or so on marketplace but I have an 18 month old so it’s all clothes / equipment / toys he’s outgrown. Where we are things like sleep bags, puddle suits, slings have quite good resale value if they were good quality in the first place. I only sell if the amount I can get is worth the faffing about with messages / arranging collection though. Anything else goes to charity, either charity shop or the local baby bank.

Once it becomes a habit, like taking out the recycling. I love doing it when I find the time as it makes me feel less guilty getting rid knowing it’s gone to a good home. Then I can use the credit for new stuff. Win win!

I can believe it, I admire them and wish I could be them! I’m far too lazy and end up taking most of it to the supermarket charity bins.

Im putting two things on Vinted every day at the moment. Have sold four today so will have £46 in the pot!

The kids grow and I have far too many clothes, I could probably list a thing a day for a year 🙈
