Ten sourcing ideas
- Your own wardrobe. The simplest and cheapest place to start.
- Friends and family clear-outs. Offer to sell things for others.
- Charity shops. Check labels and condition carefully.
- Car boot sales and jumble sales. Often the best prices if you go early.
- Online auctions and marketplaces. Look for bundles and job lots.
- End-of-season clearance. Buy brands that hold their value.
- Clothing swaps and sales. A fast way to refresh stock.
- Estate and house clearances. Check the rules and ask permission.
- Wholesale or surplus stock. Treat it as a business purchase.
- Pre-loved collections. Brands with strong resale demand.
Judge what will sell before you buy
Search for the item on Vinted and look at what has actually sold, not just what is listed. Look at the condition, the price and how long it took. Buy only what leaves a margin after your cost, postage supplies and time. See what sells best and pricing.
Get stock listed quickly
Stock only earns when it is listed. Photograph a whole haul in one session and use bulk upload to turn the photos into listings in one go, so unsold stock does not pile up. Keep records of what you paid, for tax and for knowing your margins.
