Want to get started in the vintage clothing resale business, but not sure where to begin? At United Vintage, we support hundreds of resellers every day. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced reseller, here are 5 practical tips to boost your sales and set yourself apart.
1. Choose a reliable and cost-effective supplier
The quality of your inventory accounts for 80% of your success. Forget about shady suppliers or inflated prices.
✅ At United Vintage, we offer:
- 100% authentic packages (Nike, The North Face, Ralph Lauren, etc.)
- Items selected for their resale value
- An average price per item that is well below the resale price (often 4 or 5 times higher)
2. Know your target audience and choose your products accordingly
Do you sell to teenagers? To streetwear fans? To workwear enthusiasts?
➡️ Your selection should resonate with your niche. You don't need 1,000 different items. It's better to have 20 really good ones.
🛒 Tip: Our “themed” boxes (Nike, USA, Jackets, etc.) are designed to help you target your audience directly.
3. Take stylish photos, even on a tight budget
You don't need a professional studio. But avoid dark or wrinkled photos.
📸 Use natural light, a neutral background, a tripod, and show the outfit being worn if possible.
📦 Good to know: Our customers use our own product photos as a basis for their content. It's a real time-saver for beginners!
4. Set your prices wisely
A Nike hoodie isn't always worth €40. If the piece is rare, in good condition, and has been photographed well, it can sell for €60.
💡 Check out what's selling on Vinted, Instagram, or your own website, and adjust your prices based on supply and demand.
💸 Our bundles are designed to give you at least a 70% profit margin if you do the job right.
5. Build a community (even a small one)
You don't need 10,000 followers. But you do need an engaged audience.
📱 Show us what goes on behind the scenes, film your restocks, and talk about the challenges you face. Be human.
People buy into your world, your vibe, first and foremost.
