Some are on the lookout for good deals to make ends meet. For some, it goes much further: they earn thousands of euros per month.
Few are those who refuse to earn a little more money. Some have even become experts in the matter and beautifully meet their ends of the month. Some can even boast of winning several thousand euros per month, so we can no longer talk about good deals, but real work. If anyone can do, it takes a lot of time and investment. But it pays!
At 17, Virgil Dutilleul, who started at 13, was able to win up to 4,000 euros per month thanks to this practice, and even died out to devote himself to it full time, he tells to Midi Libre. This allowed him to create his own clothing brand, Menose, in which he invested 15,000 euros. And he is not the only one to meet success: with the Parisianthree young men aged 18 to 23 indicate that they can make between 3,500 and 5,000 euros in turnover per month, and pay themselves between 1500 and 3,000 euros net every month.
How do they do it? By getting involved in the Business of the Purchasing-Reventing on Vinted. Concretely, they buy clothes sold at low prices on the platform (sometimes unearthed thanks to bots) and resell them more expensive, then reinvest part of the money earned in new clothes, and so on. Others buy lots from wholesalers, but you have to be vigilant to choose it well, because there are sometimes customs duties to pay. Especially since some are dishonest and provide counterfeiting.
To those who would like to do the same thing, you still have to be aware that this approach takes a lot of time: you have to find the clothes, buy them, get them, wash them, iron them, take pretty photos, publish the announcements, respond to potential customers (and quickly so as not to risk losing a sale), preparing packages and shipping them … In short, it is not any rest. Let us also recall that all second -hand income must be declared to taxes, and that it is necessary to identify as “pro seller”, as it is possible to do on Vinted or Leboncoin. Otherwise there is a risk of up to 300,000 euros fine and two years’ imprisonment for “misleading commercial practices”.
