Want to get into the vintage clothing resale business, but don't know where to start? At United Vintage, we support hundreds of resellers every day. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced dealer, here are 5 practical tips to help you increase your sales and stand out from the crowd.
1. Choose a reliable, cost-effective supplier
The quality of your stock is 80% of your success. Forget vague suppliers or inflated prices.
✅ At United Vintage, we offer:
- 100% Authentic Bales (Nike, The North Face, Ralph Lauren...)
- Parts selected for their resale potential
- Average price per piece well below resale price (often x4 or x5)
2. Know your target and choose your products accordingly
Do you sell to teenagers? to streetwear fans? to workwear enthusiasts?
➡️ Your selection should speak to your niche. You don't need 1,000 different pieces. It's better to have 20 really good ones.
🛒 Tip: Our "themed" boxes (Nike, USA, Jackets...) are designed to help you target your audience directly.
3. Take stylish photos, even on a budget
You don't need a professional studio. But avoid dark or crumpled photos.
📸 Use natural light, a neutral background, a tripod and show the cutaway if possible.
📦 Good to know: Our customers use our own product photos as the basis for their content. A real time-saver for beginners!
4. Set your prices wisely
A Nike hoodie isn't always worth €40. If it's rare, clean and well shot, it can sell for €60.
💡 Look at what's selling on Vinted, Instagram, or your own site, and adjust according to supply/demand.
💸 Our bundles are designed to give you at least 70% margin if you take the job seriously.
5. Create a community (even a small one)
You don't need 10,000 subscribers. But you do need an engaged audience.
📱 Show your backstage, film your restocks, talk about your galleys. Be human.
People buy your world, your vibe.
