The author shares her experience decluttering her wardrobe and making money through selling on the Vinted app. She learned a valuable lesson about pricing items realistically.
As we welcome the new year, many individuals will be making resolutions to declutter their homes and embrace a simpler lifestyle. Over the past 12 months, I've been on a similar journey, striving to eliminate old items that are merely occupying space in my cupboards. My wardrobes were the primary focus of my decluttering efforts.
I have a habit of clinging onto clothes long after I've ceased wearing them - either because I persuade myself that I'll eventually shed enough weight to fit back into dresses I've had since I was 16, or due to sentimental attachments to garments that are well beyond their prime. However, with a newborn baby and our terraced house more cramped than ever, it was crucial that I succeeded in decluttering. That's how I discovered Vinted, a second-hand selling app that allows sellers to list their old items and dispatch them without any fees. The buyer covers all postage and insurance costs, and there's no limit to the quantity you can sell on the app. Over the past year or so, I've made an astonishing £533 by selling my old clothes on Vinted, which provided a much-needed financial boost during my maternity leave. I'm extremely pleased with the amount I've earned on the app - but my side hustle almost faltered before it even began, all due to one challenging lesson I struggled to grasp, reports the Liverpool Echo. I initially priced my items on the app based on their original cost and what I believed they were worth. However, this was a mistake. Vinted provides a feature that displays the selling price of similar items on the platform, helping you to set your own prices. When I saw the recommended prices for some of my items, I was shocked. Designer pieces in excellent condition were being sold at incredibly low prices, and it felt wrong to let go of such high-quality items for such a small amount. I listed my items at the prices I thought they deserved, and firmly declined any lower offers from potential buyers
