Hi,

Anyone buy the space nk advent calendar to resell when they sell out and shitting it bc they still haven’t sold out😅😅 last year they sold out in a month or so, so I decided to take the gamble this year and buy it to resell and it’s not sold out still🤦‍♀️ anyone else feeling the same.. I need some reassurance lol🤣

Hello everyone

I've been working on a project called Valdeni, a marketplace for second-hand, vintage and new fashion.

I wanted to try a few things beyond the usual buying and selling experience:

• Runway: A short video-based way to discover clothes and fashion similar to reels/tiktok.
• Collections: You can save items to your favourites or organise them into multiple custom collections, similar to Instagram's Saved feature. You can also share collections like wishlists and purchase items from different sellers together.
• Professional selling: There's no need for a separate Pro account. You keep your existing account and simply provide the additional business and tax information required for professional selling.

The idea is to make discovering, organising and shopping for fashion a bit more interesting, while still keeping selling straightforward.

It's an independent project and still in its early stages, so I'd be interested in hearing what other UK sellers think.

Would you consider trying a newer marketplace alongside the platforms you already use? And what would make it worthwhile for you?

Any feedback or criticism is welcome!

For a while I was just tracking what I sold items for, not what I actually kept after platform fees, payment processing, and shipping. Once I started calculating real profit per item, a few things I thought were “good flips” turned out to barely be worth the time. Anyone else make this switch? Curious what people use to track it. Spreadsheet, app, or just mental math

Hi. I bought these from a car boot recently and they looked totally legit but upon further inspection I am a little suspicious of the qr code / data matrix code. It just looks a little off.

Anyone got any thoughts?

I flip designer bags on the side and kept getting burned by bad comps. Half the sold listings I'd compare against turned out to be a different model from the same brand.

I ended up building a little tool for myself, Spread, that pulls sold comps for the exact model and checks the photos to make sure they're actually the same bag. It's helped a lot, but it's still rough.

How do you all handle comps for bags? And if anyone wants to try what I made, DM me.

Looking for testers to try Foragic, I've attached a photo of my favourite feature, but it does (or tries to do) lots.

I made it initially to manage my death pile, then to be able to pluck a bargain off a shelf, then to be able to list my Pokémon, then to be able to scroll on my phone and get prices.

It was designed to streamline from product to completed listings with as little input required as possible, because I'm a death pile enthusiast, but it's evolved, a lot.

Why would a reseller make an app to help resellers I hear you ask? Well, its geo-locked to prevent it from being used in my area, so if you're trying to sign up or use it in those areas it won't let you in.

Comment or DM if you'd like to join the 2 week testing programme for the android app. The website is live if anyone wants to just give it a go without committing to a 2 week test. Feedback on bugs and improvements, like layout and function would be really appreciated.

What is the best way to sell stock? I have a large amount of mostly new items that I accrued from online shopping and I am wanting to move house so have been selling items individually but would consider selling large bulk orders but I’m not sure how to go about it? Some of the clothes will need a freshen up. A lot of them are brand new with tags but have been stored in a room of a smokers house although the room was not smoked in. I have already sold some bulk orders and it was never an issue to the sellers as all they needed to do was a few items or spray with Fabreeze/crease release? Looking advice on if I should just keep selling them myself in small single orders or sell to a reseller? My Vinted has all 5⭐️ reviews as proof.

ive tried charity shops and facebook for electronics and clothes and i cant seem to find anything wil any resale value at all anyone got any good recommendations on how i can make my first sale please that isnt my own things

Been looking into ways to make sourcing on ebay a bit less time-consuming, especially when you're searching for specific models or parts. The amount of irrelevant listings that show up is ridiculous sometimes. Wrong model numbers, misleading titles, stuff listed as working when the condition says otherwise. You end up opening loads of listings just to find a handful actually worth considering. Curious how everyone else handles this. Are you just using saved searches ?

I’ve been flipping iPhones on marketplace for a while now but someone’s my phones take a really long time to sell, any reason to why? I have it priced really well and have great high quality pictures of the phone from all angles and a great profile as well so I’m confused why I’m not selling them. Any tips for getting more views/clicks on my listings? (No boosting listings please, I don’t think it’s worth it)

I started a small business about 4 months ago. I sell on platforms such as Amazon, TikTok and my own website. Business is picking up nicely and averaging 25 to 30 sales a day. I mainly use Evri as courier service as it’s the cheapest option for self fulfilment on Amazon so I like to use it across all platforms for simplicity.

With this increased volume the owners of the convenience are starting to get a bit shitty with me and moaning when I come in. They even make rude comments. I wouldn’t mind so much but I do buy stuff from there! It’s starting to make me self conscious and have been driving out my way to other parcel shops. Anyone else experience this?

Vinted's "buyer protection fee" is now just the "Vinted fee" (UK), and Royal Mail went up again

Vinted's UK price list doesn't say "Buyer Protection fee" any more. It's the "Vinted fee" now, a "mandatory platform fee" for running the site. New terms kicked in today too

Rate looks the same as far as I can tell, still 3-8% plus 30p-80p. Refunds for lost / damaged / not as described are still a thing, they've just been moved into their own refund policy

Also in case anyone missed it, Royal Mail put parcel prices up on Monday. Tracked 48 small parcel is £3.75 online now (was £3.65), Tracked 24 is £4.80 (was £4.65). 2nd class with no tracking is £4.40 online, so you're paying 65p more for less. Not sure why anyone still uses it.

Curious if anyone's changing how they post or price because of it?

A deal bot I've been building flagged this today: a MacBook Air 15" M2 8GB/256GB at CeX for £515.
• eBay sold average: £800
• CeX buy price: £319
• Margin: about £285 (55% ROI)

The catch is that only 1 has sold on eBay in the last 30 days.

I'm still working out how much weight to give low-volume items. Would you buy this, or pass? And how many sold comps do you need before you trust a margin?

Happy Monday all! I've been building a Chrome extension for flipping music gear on Facebook Marketplace UK and I'd like a few more people to try it before I open it up.

It sits on top of the listing page when you're browsing Marketplace. You click it, it pulls eBay sold data (proper API, not scraping), checks live asks, and gives you a resale score and a max offer number with the maths behind it. That works as-is, no setup, no AI.

On top of that, if you want it to run an AI pass over the listing photos to look for damage the seller hasn't mentioned, it can. That's the bit that saves you from "oh no, there's a crack in photo 4 I totally didn't see." Optional, but I use it.

UK only, music gear only. Guitars, pedals, synths, drums, whatever. Not a general reseller tool, so if that's what you need this isn't the one.

Free right now, no paywall, no email to unlock features. I'm in private testing because I want a small group to actually use it on real listings before it goes public.

If you flip UK gear and want a tester invite, DM me or signup through the website above. If you try it and the numbers are wrong or it misses something, please tell me. That's what I need right now more than anything else.

Where do people find stuff to buy for cheap and sell at crazy prices later I never seem to find cheap items or items that are worth selling for a profit
