You spend hours uploading clothes to Vinted, taking clean photos, replying to messages, lowering prices... and the end result? Three sales a month and a T-shirt gone for âŹ4.50. Frustrating, isn't it? đ€
Don't worry, you're not alone. Many people struggle at first. But if you really want to make a living from reselling clothes, you have to change your methods. The pros don't spend their lives negotiating 50 cents on Vinted... They use smarter, more profitable and, above all, more effective techniques .
Here's how they really do it:
1. The right stock from the start
It's not about filters or hashtags, it's about the product.
The pros know that selling a well-styled vintage Champion sweatshirt or Adidas hoodie is a cinch. Because they have quality stock, sought-after pieces that have value on the market.
And guess what? They don't spend their Sundays rummaging through bins of half-holed clothes. They work with reliable suppliers who deliver good stuff. No sorting to do, no nasty surprises.
đ Case in point: at United Vintage, you can snag bales of well-sorted vintage clothing, full of nuggets. No need to rummage around for hours. You just receive, sort and sell. Simple, efficient.
2. They create a true brand identity
A pro doesn't just sell a T-shirt. He sells a world. Even on platforms like Vinted, presentation makes a huge difference.
Clean photos, stylish description, coherent atmosphere... Customers love to buy from someone with a real style, a vibe. And when you set up an Insta account or a small online shop behind it, you're in another league.
Put yourself in a customer's shoes: would you rather buy from a boutique with a real AD, or from someone who throws out a "size M 15⏠t-shirt" that's badly framed and wrinkled?
3. They also sell outside Vinted
Vinted is a cool place to start. But it's far from the only channel.
Real pro sellers also use Depop, Instagram, their own website, even pop-up stores or ephemeral thrift shop stands. The result? They reach more customers, make more sales and, above all, sell for more.
You can sell the same piece for âŹ12 on Vinted or âŹ30 on Insta with good storytelling. It's up to you to decide where you want to place yourself.
4. They work on their profitability, not just their sales.
Do you prefer to make 100 sales at âŹ5 or 10 sales at âŹ30? Pros, on the other hand, seek to maximize their margins.
And for that, they :
- Buy better (from reliable, specialized suppliers)
- Higher sales thanks to better merchandising
- Don't waste their time with sloppy customers who want everything at half price
They're thinking business, not just a Sunday flea market.
5. They surround themselves with the right partners
You want to take it to the next level? You have to stop doing everything yourself.
The pros rely on people who know what they're doing: photographers, graphic designers, web developers, and above all... suppliers specializing in vintage.
And that's where United Vintage comes in.
