In tough economic times, many people are turning to re-selling apps to declutter, make extra cash, and save sending clothes to landfill
The man at Zara Zubeidi’s local post office in Surrey knows her by name, such is the frequency with which she. In fact, when we talk, she’s just about to set off in the pouring rain to make yet another delivery. “He often thinks I’m making clothing returns so I have to explain to him that I am selling and not an online shopping addict,” she jokes.that was co-founded by Milda Mitkute and Justas Janauskus in Lithuania in 2008 as a way for fashion-mad Mitkute to sell her unwanted clothes.
“I tend to sell five items a week but with Christmas coming I’m selling more than 10 a week. Sometimes I bring in £50 a week whereas in others it can be £80- £100”. Good puts any money she makes towards more. “I will browse charity shops and buy some items in bulk off Facebook marketplace,” she says. “It’s extremely hard to keep up with sales. At the moment I have two or three items going out daily and I’m always promoting my page. I tend to class it as my 5-9pm job .
She typically has £200-£400 sitting in her Vinted account at any one time and, while this sometimes goes on picking up other items on Vinted, or on activity days and hot chocolates, most of the time it goes into her child’s savings account. “Depending on whether we’ve had a growth spurt or not, I will either list items piecemeal or, as I did the other day, in a small job lot,” she explains, adding that she has become a savvy salesperson.
Talbot’s preloved selling service includes photographing, listing, and delivering the parcels to the post office or parcel drop off meaning her clients simply have to decide what to sell. Is her house not full of other people’s old clobber? Seemingly not. “I have an office where the items are kept, either in a box or hung on a rail after steaming.”
