Five useful tips to help you track down a great bargain for your wardrobe on Vinted
IF your summer wardrobe needs an upgrade, skip the shops and root out a bargain on Vinted.
The secondhand site is perfect for finding cool new outfits, at a fraction of the price.
Here’s how to track down a great deal . . .
BE SPECIFIC: To get the best out of Vinted, it’s best to know exactly what you are looking for. The more specific your search terms, the more likely you are to find items you like. Use filters to search by brand, colour, size and condition of item.
If you’ve seen something you like at a high street store, try searching for the specific product name on the app. You can also copy a picture and search for it through Google images, specifying a search only for
Vinted to bring up items that match the image.
FAVOURITE: When you see something you like, add it to your favourites. This means you can find the item again easily, but it also shows a seller you are interested. If they are after a faster sale, this can act as a prompt for them to offer you a reduced price.
BECOME A FOLLOWER: When you find a thing you like, look through the seller’s other items. If you are impressed, you can follow them and get alerts when they list new items.
PRICE IS RIGHT: Start with a budget of how much you want to spend on an item. Don’t be afraid to send an offer when you see something you like.
You’re likely to have greater success if you are realistic but if they don’t go for your first bid, you can up it. You can make up to 25 offers in a day.
SEASONAL SAVING: With the weather warm, demand for coats and jumpers is lower.
With less competition for these items, it could be easier to find a steal that you can stash away until temperatures drop.
Obviously the reverse is true in winter when it can be a great time to sort out your summer wardrobe on a budget.
