I've made £100,000 reselling second-hand clothes on Vinted and Depop

1 year ago

A woman has made £100,000 reselling second-hand clothes on Vinted and Depop.

Becky Chorlton, 26, has always hated throwing things away and found a love for thrifting with her mum, Sandra, 62, a retired receptionist. She started listing some of her old clothes on Depop while studying for her masters in physical activity and health in July 2019.

Within a couple of months she found she was pocketing more than she was earning from her part time job - around £100-a-week. When the pandemic hit, Becky started reselling more online and realised she could turn thrifting into a full-time job. It took off and she started making between £600 to £700-a-week.

Now Becky finds old clothes at charity shops and car boot sales and makes up to £3,000-a-month - and says she's made around £100k so far in total.

00:00Let's go charity shopping. All right. First up. I found this Timberland top for three pounds and these Jane Norman jeans for four pounds

00:07How cute is this little top with the bows for one pound and these Levi's shorts were three pound fifty

00:12I think I picked up this vintage Reebok striped jacket for three pounds and this little corset top was only a pound

00:18I had to get this Ted Baker dress for one pound fifty and then we spotted this 50p bin which we emptied out

00:24I managed to find that top and this Adidas vintage t-shirt

00:27I was so tempted by this Puma bag for six pounds and these two tops were two pounds each

00:32Here's what seventy six pound fifty got me at the car boot sale

00:36First up, I found this Carhartt t-shirt for two pounds and these Carhartt trousers were two pound fifty each

00:41So five pounds in total. Back in 1987 Typhoo were giving away Wallace and Gromit salt and pepper shakers

00:47I picked these up for 50p and I'm super happy with my new cool box for five pounds

00:51This Fallon Raven bag was also five pounds

00:54This Nike sweatshirt and the Gap hoodie were two pounds each and this black Nike sweatshirt was three pounds

00:59I'm pretty sure this Noddy car with the soap in the back is from the year 1950

01:03I got it for 50p then I picked up these two Y2K tops. These were a pound each and oh my god

01:09This might have been the find of the day

01:10I went rummaging in a pile of clothes and found this jacket for four pounds

01:14A guy sold me this entire bag of Simpsons figurines from the year 1990

01:18These were all four pounds. Then I saw this coat hanging up on a car

01:22I thought it was gonna be super expensive

01:23But the woman only wanted two pounds for it. This Lacoste top was one pound fifty and then I went rummaging in this little 50p

01:29Box and found two M&M figures. This filibong jacket was also hanging on someone's car and they were asking four pounds for it

01:35I found this vintage Star Wars single stitch t-shirt

01:38This was three pounds and on the same Star Wars theme. How cool is this Jar Jar Binks toothbrush holder?

01:43This was a pound. Picked up some Levi's 501s for three pounds and these Harley Davidson

01:48Coasters and keychains were all one pound each. I went rummaging in this box of vintage Happy Meal toys

01:53So I picked up a few to give away on my next Whatnot show. This belt was one pound

01:57Make sure you follow it along because I went to another car boot after this and I can't wait to show you what I got

02:01Here's how much money I made reselling this box of 83p clothes on vintage. Last week

02:07I bought this box of 10kg clothes for 25 pounds

02:11Most of the clothes in the box were brand new with tags and it worked out 83p per item

02:16I've spent the last week listing all the clothes on Vinted. I put most up for around three to five pounds

02:21I probably could have got more for them

02:22But I just wanted a quick sale. Some things did sell for slightly more like this Topshop dress for ten pounds and this brand new

02:27Zara top for six pound fifty. In the end

02:3026 out of the 35 items I received in my box ended up selling within the last seven days

02:35The rest are still up and available on my Vinted for super cheap. The links in my bio if you want to grab a bargain

02:41I'm accepting offers on everything and here's the moment of truth of how much I ended up making

02:45After taking away the cost of the box, which was 25 pounds and free delivery. I made a total profit of

02:52121 pounds and 15 pence selling these clothes on Vinted
