It started with a clear-out that was long overdue. By Sunday evening, I’d made £120 and my wardrobe finally closed without a struggle. Vinted isn’t just for fashion obsessives; it’s become the UK’s easiest entry point to “casual earning”. And in a cost-of-living crunch, turning unworn clothes into spendable cash feels like a small financial miracle.

Here’s what worked: I listed ten items on Friday night, mid-range high street brands like H&M, Levi’s, and a barely worn pair of trainers. Each listing took about two minutes. By Saturday morning, the app pinged like a slot machine. Clear photos in daylight, honest descriptions, and fair prices (£8–£20) were the secret sauce.

By Sunday, I’d sold seven items, packaged them in reused boxes, and arranged courier pickups straight from my doorstep. The balance landed in my Vinted wallet within hours. It wasn’t “quit your job” money but £120 for two evenings’ effort? That’s the kind of side hustle maths we can all get behind.

If you can spare a couple of hours this weekend, you can probably earn a three-figure sum too. Start with branded clothes in good condition, take natural photos, and price slightly under what others list for. The quicker they sell, the better it feels - both financially and mentally.

List on Friday evening. Buyers scroll more at weekends, and fresh listings show higher in search. Add “bundle discounts” for anyone eyeing multiple pieces, it nudges sales faster.

The average Vinted user in the UK makes around £200–£300 a year selling second-hand items, but power sellers are clocking £100+ weekends regularly.
