Most men's shoes in charity shops seem to be below size 8 lol. For addidas it's looking out for gazelles, dragons, samba, Samoa, hamburgs and similar styles. The basic foam unless a collaborative model is not worth it. The best sellers are the retro models. It's the same for vans and converse. The basic models, unless super cheap are not worth it. They would have to require no cleaning. But the ' special' / collaborative models of course are worth it. The homework as always is to check ' addidas trainers' in sold listings under ' highest sold. On vinted, it's being strict about the margins. I set my searches for nothing below size 8 or above 11. The price range is no higher than £15 and to try only pick up shoes that will give you at least a 15- 20 pound min return. Sometimes I don't buy anything but I just study what's selling fast as I keep refreshing for a bit. I also dont select anything below ' very good'. Even though you will get sellers saying ' new' when you can clearly see mud on them 😅There are so many trainers listed per minute it's worth the research without buying sometimes until you start to learn the ones that are fast sellers.
Nice one, yes it does seem to be the suede/leather, retro style shoes that do better than the more modern designs. I’ve still much to learn but that trick about Vinted is a good one. 👍🏼
🤣 I knew that would be mentioned! I didn’t realise it was as bad as it was until I was editing the video! Can confirm it was from a charity shop though; I avoid clothing bales like the plague!
With regards to watchers you will find a lot are like me. We have a similar or identical item we are selling and we want to see how much other ones go for. X
With regards to your listing title structure I would recommend having the category (e.g shoes) and the size as early in the title as possible. I always put “Brand Type Size Colour Keywords” as my listing title. 😊
It’s frustrating isn’t it! Fine if they just want to see what stuff sells for but completed listings can help with that. Sometimes I wonder whether my offers sent just disappear without a trace!

I have an iron for sale if you’re interested Chris?🤣🤣🤣
Straight out of the clothing bale 😂

That’s what I figured, which is fine, but does make me feel a bit despondent when my offers are largely ignored. 😂

I could give that a go, but I’m a stubborn git so will probably continue as I have been. 😅 I hope my photo setup brings the potential punters in. 🤞🏻
Hate the watchers, I had 2 samsonite suitcases on, both of them had over 50 watchers each, kept sending out the offers. Nothing at all.

I find the range of different Adidas and Nike shoes just too bewildering. The gore-tex ones, are what I go for.
Glad it’s not just me! I’m getting there with Nike but adidas is a bit of a minefield. Can’t go wrong with anything GoreTex though!

A lot of watchers are potentially other sellers who are just trying to keep an eye on prices.
Yeah that’s what I figured. I’d rather they just search sold listings though as they’re not helping the cause. 😂
