Vinted persistence pays off (hopefully)

Two years and three months ago, I fell in love with a dress, but I couldn't justify the £150 price tag. Ever since then, I have stalked Vinted, hoping it would come up. This morning I snapped it up BNWT for £24 + pp etc.

Please keep your fingers crossed that I still love it and it is as described!

Does anyone have a story of even longer patience??

Well done you! Mine isn’t quite as long but I fell in love with an H&M jumper but couldn’t justify £50 for it. I would check vinted every so often and found it about 18m later for £2. And I bloody love it 🤣

What was the dress?

Amazing bargain @aprilshowers2015 you have reminded me that there is a lovely orange Whistles jumper I should start to watch out for.

This is the dress: https://www.hobbs.com/product/jaida-dress/0123-5508-9094L00-IMPERIAL-BLUE.html it's not spectacular but the colour and cut is absolutely perfect on me. I might not get to wear it until next summer but it's worth the wait!

Love that!

A few months ago I listed a lamp on Vinted which sold within 2 minutes of it going live! The buyer messaged to thank me for losing as she had wanted one for ages (it was an m & s one that went 'viral' - yes, I know 🙄- and had sold out months previously). I was genuinely chuffed that my little lamp was going to someone who really wanted it!

It’s here and it’s perfect and I love it as much as I did in May 2023 😀
