Advice on selling unwanted clothes

The problem with Vi Ted is the short time frame to accept that the item is as described. If buying I no longer have it delivered to my house as I may be very busy and unable to check it immediately. I have purchases sent to a collection point and only pick up when I'm ready.

Ahh but how you are is probably how your friends are Primrose I can’t afford high priced goods and judging by the amount of people in my charity shop not many others can either
I don’t spend that much on myself more on my grandkids I think

I have said on here before that if I see something nice in a charity shop I buy it and I’ve had some real bargains.

I use Vinted, have sold quite a few things and bought as well, with no problems apart from one item was broken on receipt due to being poorly packaged. I was refunded everything back after sending photos.

Primrose53 I suspect that you are the exception to the rule.

I don’t think so. Most of my friends are enjoying spending money on themselves now their kids are grown up.

Must be me I found I got in a muddle on Vinted so use Market place or eBay

I understand the mother of the bride dress being for sale, but why buy so many day to day clothes if they are fit to sell after you tire of them?

Surely it would make sense to buy fewer clothes, wear them out and chuck them rather than buy clothes and then sell them on for a fraction of their original price.

With everyone seemingly claiming that they can barely afford to put food in their mouths, or keep their homes warm. how come you can afford to buy all these clothes to sell off cheap.

I buy fairly expensive clothes as they hang nicely, suit me better and the designs are that bit different.
I often get stopped by strangers who ask where I buy my clothes.
Had enough of scrimping and saving when I had a young family. 😉

I also look after my clothes so when I don’t wear them so much I ebay them and always get very good prices for them.

I've had success selling on Vinted. It's for all ages, shapes and sizes - so give it a try. It's good to get some money back and someone else gets a bargain.

It's difficult to photograph clothing especially dark colours. Is there a 50/50 shop near you perhaps where you could take your clothes for them to sell on?

I sold my going away outfit on Vinted a couple of weeks ago. First time I've used it. I wasn't looking for a lot just room in my wardrobe. The buyer paid postage. I had to parcel it and put it in a Morrison's locker thing. Got messages all way through and Vinted transferred the money to my bank account.

I sell all my clothes on Vinted, easier and cheaper than Ebay.

There's at least one other too, but I can't do the link. You can Google it.

There's a Facebook site for Mother of the Bride/Groom dresses. Some of the outfits are very expensive (people usually charge about half the original price) and larger sizes seem to be quite popular.

You could try Gumtree. That’s free and gets a good audience. Have sold loads of stuff on there but never tried clothes. Worth a try?

My adult children sell all of our unwanted clothes on Vinted. It’s very easy and buyer pays postage. I’m a frumpy 60+, size 18 and my clothes sell although you won’t make a fortune. Most items sell for £3 - £10. You also need to be patient. Some items will sell immediately and others will sit there for a couple of months but will usually sell eventually. Most of our parcels are collected at our local OneStop although occasionally we have to send from post office.
I would definitely give it a go.

Yes all age groups sell on Vinted ..I sold my wedding outfit from my sons wedding ..it did take time to go ( it was black and oyster !) just don’t expect huge amounts of money .
I have sold plenty of other things and bought some really cheap bargains ( white stuff Linen dress £15! )

Give it a try, you've nothing to lose really. The Vinted advert does feature a young woman which I actually find rather ageist. 'Im sure there's some ladies out there looking for a special outfit.

I've heard that Vinted is good .
Maybe it's for younger people .
Otherwise , it's ebay .
In the past , I've sold clothes on ebay and found it hard work .
Most buyers are nice , but some definitely aren't .
One of my buyers paid under a fiver for a new £70 dress and tried to get a refund - claiming that it smelt .

Why not have a go at Vinted ?
Nothing to lose !
