To think is odd people that are single adults always have clothes and other stuff to sell

[Simbathecat25]

Obviously different when you have children but I’ve seen a lot of single people constantly uploading to Vinted

Why are you surprised they own so much? Are single people exempt from consumerism? I would think single people have more time on their hands so take more time to list and sell things unlike myself who just dumps it all in a charity bin because I have no patience for the "Is this still available and will you deliver" brigade on marketplace.

I think it's odd that you spend your time posting the most banal stuff on here

I am looking at the clothes and shoes I am wearing today and wondering if I need to return them to single people I may have inadvertently bought them off..

I don't understand. My daughter sells her clothes on vinted. She doesn't have loads of stuff but she sells things on that she no longer likes. And before anyone starts grumbling about fast fashion, she buys a lot of stuff on there too.

There isn't one acceptable use of vinted - selling on clothes you've outgrown.

I’ve sold an entire wardrobe’s worth of clothes on Vinted because of weight loss. I’m single.

People post on the internet, yet without any cognitive abilities. See it all the flippin time.

Overconsumption and fast fashion are everywhere. Not just in households with children.

If your complaint about these people is that you think they over consume and buy too many clothes, fair enough, but what on Earth does that have to do with their marital status?

But why wouldn’t single people own stuff that they later sell?

People without kids have more disposable income so buy more stuff for themselves and will have more to sell?

And it’s not only overconsumption.

i often buy on Vinted but you can’t return things on Vinted so if something does not fit then I sell it.

Can you imagine that some people with kids like to have cushions? That people who speak portugese might also like rock climbing? That radio hosts sometimes need to renovate their kitchen?

Maybe we wouldn't be single for long if we were to walk in the street butt naked.

I sell a lot of stuff online because my parents have died and I’m clearing out their stuff. I didn’t realise that was odd because I haven’t reproduced?

No, even now you've clarified what you mean it's still a weird take.

It's always a bit suss when people have tonnes of clothes in a variety of sizes, clearly been raiding the charity shops and selling on. Fair play to them like.

If they don't have kids then they'll have more disposable income to spend on clothes I guess, also fair play to them.

Do single people without children not have possessions? Or do possessions only appear once they are married and have children?

I usually get a new wardrobe each year second hand then all the stuff I don’t wear anymore or have realised I don’t like (can’t usually try them on) I sell on or donate to charity.

Probably because it seems what you originally posted was not what you mean’t to say.

Or maybe it's weird you're on vinted looking to buy so much "single person" stuff.

In my case, I'm having a midlife clear out. I've gone from wanting to own things (like books, games) to a rental mindset. I buy a secondhand game or book, use it, enjoy it and then resell it.

Because of that mindest, I no longer "own so much". Its constantly moving in and out and kept only as long as I need it, which means it is being used to the max and I get a tidy home with minimal but useful things that suit my current interests.

.... Maybe they just have more clothes than you.

Maybe they trawl the charity shops and it's a money making scheme...

Why does it bother you?

Have you never once had an item of clothing you've needed rid of? Never donated any clothes to charity? Never once thought "hmmm, this jumper doesn't fit as nicely" a d had to remove it from your wardrobe?

Or do you keep absolutely every item of clothing you have ever owned?

Why are you surprised, though? What's surprising about anyone selling stuff they don't want or wear any more?

I sell stuff on Vinted all the time. Stuff that's too big because I've lost weight, stuff that's too small because I've gained weight, stuff that I wore a couple of times only to find they weren't comfortable or didn't suit me as much as I'd thought they did, stuff that I bought for a specific occasion like a wedding and am unlikely to wear again, stuff which I feel is a bit outdated but which someone else might love, stuff I bought from charity shops without trying them on and then didn't like them, shoes I can no longer wear, stuff I'm simply not that keen on any more... the list goes on.

Why would that be surprising? And why would it be any more surprising if I was single?

Such a weird thing to question.

I don't understand your confusion.
People change their tastes, they put weight on, take weight off,. change shape, the clothes were an unwanted gift, they don't suit them, they become bored with something they have already worn to several weddings/events and need to buy a new outfit, they need to raise some money and selling clothes seems the easiest way.
There are many reasons.

mot very nice I’ve seen similar post on here and the person stated about it and people brought up kids hence I’ve said single people.

I’ve posted twice
