Recently I was going through a serious transformation and felt that my wardrobe equally needed a serious revamp. One might thing that "revamp" equals shopping therapy. Yes and no. I realised that I have lots and lots of useless stuff in my wardrobe that does not match. What is wear I never wear almost 90% of clothes I own.
My decision was to get rid of everything that I didn't wear for a year or stuff that didn't match with at least 3 items from my wardrobe. Ultimately I want a very small wardrobe of only the best matching pieces that suit me.
I tried to sell on eBay and seriously didn't like it. I am sorry but my experience has been awful without going into details...
Tried other crazy websites like gumtree, Asos marketplace, preloved (waste of time!)!!!!
The only website that worked for me personally is
Vinted. I know it is heavily criticised but this website really really works for me!!!
Here is a list of points about
Vinted:
1. The community is fantastic. Girls are nice, witty, polite and very supportive. This is very important when you sell second hand clothes.
2. It is ridiculous how easy it is to list an item! The mobile app is better than the new HSBC app! Very impressive! The listing process is very logical, I agree with criteria.
3. The shipping estimated by vinted automatically which can be tricky sometimes but you can always include a pound in your price.
4. Comments, communication, "favorite" - the system works very well to improve transparency and facilitate communication via buyers and sellers.
5. You get money from selling your item only after a buyer receives an item. However the community of ladies is so nice that I feel safe. Touch wood but never ever had a problem!
If you want to get rid of your impulse purchase or nice clothes that do now work for you anymore Vinted is the best option ever! Mobile application is fantastic!
