Posting on social media, the fashion fan who has cashed in £4,415.34 through the marketplace app, advised people to check their wardrobes for old Jane Norman and Morgan clothes, as she claimed these brands are just two of many that are 'popular on Vinted at the moment'.
Sharing her top tips and tricks, the content creator and Vinted enthusiast who buys and sells on the app 'every single day' explained: 'I've got a Vinted tip for you - specifically for the people that are selling their old clothing, in particular clothing from the early 2000s.'

'They don't know the value of the clothing. What I mean by this is people who have very clearly just started out on Vinted, they've got a couple of reviews and they're just clearing out their old clothing - they don't do their research about the products that they're selling and it means that they are selling tops that are worth probably £20 plus, for £3.50.'
Not only this, but Chloe, who
Not only is Jane Norman, Etam, Together, Wet Seal, Oasis and Morgan selling well, but she also acknowledged that old items from New Look, Lipsy, Per Una, Marks & Spencer, Miss Selfridge and River Island will sell quickly too.
Additionally, she recognised that items from brands including Vintage Dressing, Playboy, Krisp, Monsoon, E-Vie and Principles are also proving popular.

Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted?
QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted...
The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it.
Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017.

'Specifically old New Look, Jane Norman, that sort of stuff is becoming really popular on Vinted now.
'So if you are clearing out your old wardrobe, make sure you are looking and just double checking what your items are worth, because I'm seeing not many people do research and it means you're losing out on money.'
There are some brands that were popular back then that are so popular on Vinted now and I see people uploading clothing items from this sort of era and they aren't priced high enough

Why I hate Vinted, a real-life view
Fabulous Associate Editor Sarah Barns opens up on why she hates Vinted:
It's the king of second-hand fashion but I hate Vinted.
There I said it. Yes, it stops items going into landfill. Yes, it helps create additional side-hustle income for many.
And yes, you can get things at bargain prices. But it is just not my (shopping) bag.
From personal experience, I've bought 'cheap' bundles of children's clothes only for them to arrive dirty and misshapen.
Plus, with postage and buyer protection they didn't feel like such a great deal. I much prefer going to my local charity shop or supermarket for kids' stuff.
I've also bought more premium high-street items - a dress from Arket and a skirt from Cos - only to find they didn't fit properly and the colours were faded.
I attempted a bout of selling stuff but gave up after my £110 Veja trainers got lost in the post and I spent two hours on the phone to Royal Mail.
A major gripe with it is that it still encourages you to spend, spend, spend. I'm not sure I needed the items I did purchase, I just didn't want to miss out.
Also, the reselling of fast-fashion items - a £5 Shein top on Vinted for £17.50 - makes me feel a bit queasy.
Clothes shopping has become a daily hobby for a lot of people when really it should be something that's done once or twice a year as a necessity.
But the 18 million Vinted app users clearly disagree with me.
To this, Chloe replied and confirmed: 'Yep! They go sooooo fast at that price!'
Meanwhile, another added: 'I have found so many of my camis from the 2000s but I've cut tags out and can't remember where they're from.'
In response, Chloe wrote back and suggested: 'Just put the brand as 'vintage'!! Then write in the description that you cut the tags out but they are

Social Tip is an app that allows you to make money from promoting brands regardless of your following. So even if you have a private account with less than 1,000, it doesn't matter - you can still earn. It's believed that certain brands see genuine product fans as more valuable and loyal in their review than an influencer with thousands of followers. And it's easy to earn - all you have to do is share your love of a product on either Instagram or TikTok or both, tag @wearesocialtip, and wait for your commission! (Commission is capped at 10% of the purchase price for each qualifying post.) Rent your driveway You can Websites such as Your Parking Space even manage the bookings for you so that stress is taken away. The space you are leasing has to be your own - or you have authority to lease it - and can include your driveway, garage and commercial parking. You can also control when and for how long you want to rent it out - you can lease it for 24/7 or set specific days or periods. To get an idea of how much you can earn from your space, just pop in your details into the website and it will generate a quote for you.

Sites such as Lavish Locations and Shoot Factory are always on the look out for new spaces so you can apply online. If your property is chosen, you can earn anything from £500 up to £2,000 a day. It's a tough market - there are hundreds of locations for crews to currently choose from - but if you think yours could stand out, there is no harm in applying. Opinions for cash You can earn extra money by taking surveys or joining a focus group. Martin Lewis's Money Saving Expert website has a list of sites that offer money in exchange for opinions. The questions are usually market research based, and you'd need to take a lot of surveys to make a good chunk of cash, but if you have a spare half an hour on your commute, or want something to do in your lunch break, then it's a great way to monetise your time.

Credit: GETTY If you see yourself as a Dr Dolittle or just love being with animals then you can become a pet sitter for your local pet owners. You can set your own fees, services and control your own diary meaning you can commit to covering holidays or an hour at a time. Paw Shake is one of many websites where you can sign up your services which is then advertised to pet owners. Recycle old books You could earn money for your old books at We Buy Books. You simply scan or enter your book's barcode or ISBN number, get a quote, then send your books off for free. You could earn £100s if you have good quality and pricey texts, but they do still accept used paperbacks so it's worth seeing what your old reads are worth. I made £21 selling three dresses in an hour! I love a good bargain, and I'm forever buying dresses in the seasonal sales, but if I'm being truthful I have more than I really need - or wear - so I set myself a challenge. I went through my wardrobe and pulled out all the dresses I haven't worn in the last three months - and I'm ashamed to say many of them still had tags on! I decided to pop them on to Vinted so they could be loved by a new owner, and free up some space in my wardrobe for the clothes I actually do wear. It was easy to do. I took a picture of each dress - tip: good lighting is key - and uploaded it onto the app with a description of the dress including colour and condition. I also noted a couple of occasions where the dress could be worn - party, workwear, etc - as this gives it a greater chance of appearing in a search. Within an hour, three of my dresses had sold and I was £21 in profit. Not bad for a few minutes of effort! Next stop, my husband's wardrobe! Sell your wedding dress Selling your wedding dress might not be for everyone, but if you are not keeping it to show the grandkids or you are happy with just the memories of your big day, then you could sell your frock online. Sell My Wedding Dress and Still White are just two sites where you can put your bridalwear up for sale. The price depends on many factors, such as design, condition and imperfections, but you could sell a good quality wedding dress for £500 plus. It's definitely worth checking out. Holly Hicks, a mum from Hertfordshire, sold her wedding dress for £2,500!

Irish Examiner view: The best ancient advice in the world
You don't need a whole slew of professional qualifications to be an influencer. A certain native charm is helpful; good looks can always go down well with the easily-impressed; a way with words is an obvious advantage as is the ability to put together a convincing video roll. Building a reputation for expert and inside knowledge is key to the enterprise. Influencer marketing is an activity which was barely known a decade ago and its impact was accelerated by the explosive growth of social media and during lockdown when many of us had more time on our hands than was good for us. We are a country which has become wedded to social networks with up to three quarters of our population owning one or more accounts. Modash, an influencer marketing and analysis agency, headquartered in Estonia, says it has found 12,032 Irish Instagram influencers with up to 500,000 followers and the majority of their audience in Ireland. For a fee it will analyse every creator not only on this platform but also on YouTube and TikTok. Citizens may enter this bewildering landscape for a whole host of reasons, and many may be wholly harmless. A search for the best way to make falafel for example, or guidance on how to knit a plaited stitch; or directions to the best beaches in Galicia. But there are other subjects on which it is best to rely on a phrase which preceded the arrival of the internet by nearly 3,000 years. 'Caveat Emptor' — buyer beware. Medical advice certainly falls into this category. It's quite easy to find GPs who will tell you hair-raising stories about patients who arrive in their surgeries having carried out comprehensive search engine diagnoses of their symptoms and seeking sign-off and confirmation of their ailments and maladies. And the other topic where caution is required is, of course, financial information, where the Central Bank of Ireland has reissued advice to consumers that if they deal with an unauthorised firm then there is no recourse to statutory compensation schemes or the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman. 'Consumers are advised to check the official Central Bank website to see if the firm is authorised by the Central Bank' its statement to the Irish Examiner says. Mr Finlay, who has 260,000 followers on Instagram and 586,000 on TikTok, has built a reputation in recent years by posting food reviews and luxury lifestyle content. He frequently shares photos and videos of himself on first-class flights, at Premier League matches, and on holidays in Dubai. He also runs several channels on instant messaging app Telegram, which are focused on making money on T4Trade. He suggests that people copy his trades. The platform carries a disclaimer that it is not targeted to residents of the EU where it is not registered Mr Finlay says he charges €1,000 for access to a VIP channel which is owned and operated by him, but regularly allows small groups of people to enter 'free of charge,' for limited amounts of time, encouraging people to join quickly before access to the group closes. In historical terms, we are in the early days of trading and commerce on the internet and there are many lessons which still have to be learned. But as with any activity taking place on a new frontier, it is sensible to be cautious. It may not make you a fortune, but it can protect you from crushing disappointment. Or to quote T4Trade's own website: 'Our products are traded on margin and carry a high level of risk and it is possible to lose all your capital.' Old wild men have left the stage this week It has been, we must acknowledge, a bad week for old wild men. First the curtain came down on Ozzy Osbourne, 76, the founding father of the metalheads, whose last concert at Villa Park a couple of weeks previously was recalled by an Irish Examiner writer who proclaimed it as 'not just a celebration of music and legacy, but of life itself'. The self-styled Prince of Darkness nearly sacrificed his life on several occasions to excesses of various types but earned a place in people's hearts through his endearing MTV reality show, The Osbournes, which reached way beyond the aficionados of thrash metal. On the same day, a different kind of rugged hero departed with the passing of Joey Jones, stalwart of Liverpool, Wrexham, and Chelsea whose fist-pumping exhortations to fans were a familiar scene at soccer grounds across Europe in the 1970s and 80s. Jones, 70, born in a North Wales council house, was a rampaging left-sided defender whose never-say-die attitude won the hearts of those on the terraces. Hulk Hogan, who died on Thursday, was for more than a decade the ubiquitous face of wrestling bringing WWE to prominence with theatrical performances and a dominating physique. Hogan, who acknowledged that he took steroids, stood at 6ft 7in and weighed 145kg. His appearance was set off by a droopy blonde moustache and a T-shirt that he liked to rip open at the height of his exuberance. Hogan, 71, died from apparent cardiac arrest. In later years he was a voluble supporter of US president Donald Trump who counted 'the Hulkster' as a personal friend. There will be an opinion that men aren't made like this anymore but whether it's a snatch of the opening riff of 'Paranoid', a recollection of the famous 'Munching Gladbach' banner, or a highly colourful bandana, they will stay in our collective memories for the forseeable. Fair deal for cancer survivors is overdue There are few things more powerful than an idea whose time seems to have come. The concept that age is no barrier; changes to abortion law; elective death; reform of drug laws. To this we can add the proposition that for too long cancer survivors in Ireland have been discriminated against by the providers of financial services, with many struggling to obtain products such as mortgage protection and travel cover. For many years, the Irish Cancer Society has been campaigning for what it describes as 'the right to be forgotten', which means that there will be no obligation to disclose a previous diagnosis more than five years after active treatment has been concluded. Anyone who has filled in an insurance application form will be aware that there are requirements to declare any previous medical conditions, the inclusion of which can add, often considerably, to the premium charged or refusal to provide a policy. Failure to provide such details can result in policies being declared null and void. But change is afoot and legislation is now expected to be passed by the Oireachtas this autumn. It was first introduced in the Seanad by then Fianna Fáil senator Catherine Ardagh in October 2022, and was reintroduced by her as a TD in the Dáil in February. Now it has been taken up by the Government, whose junior finance minister Robert Troy — who has lost two siblings to the disease — describes the situation as 'challenging and unfair'. The Central Bank (Amendment) Bill will give statutory weight to what was previously a voluntary code of practice, which was not universally adopted, and will bring Ireland into line with laws which are already in place in France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Under existing guidelines, a survivor can access mortgage protection after seven years of remission or five years if individuals were diagnosed when under the age of 18. While the proposed new law does not cover travel insurance this will be a logical next step for campaigners. The Government, says Mr Troy, has focussed first on 'where the need is greatest and where there is the clearest evidence base'. Removing the uncertainty around house purchase is certainly a priority, but there is an equivalent value emotionally of liberating people from being defined by the most difficult chapter of their lives. Loss adjustors and risk assessors will, no doubt, point to the costs. It is their job to do so. But the rest of us may consider that, in a country where hundreds of thousands of people have been visited by cancer, it is a price worth bearing.

'A few years later, I started reselling on a small scale to help cover my car insurance. At the time, I was working part-time at Marks & Spencer, but as anyone who's just started driving knows, insurance costs can be through the roof. 'I needed a way to boost my income, and reselling seemed like the perfect side hustle.' Kirsty has been reselling ever since and Most read in Fabulous She's a huge fan of buying cheap items to sell on for profit, as she adds: 'I really enjoy reselling, I love the thrill of the hunt - you never know what you're going to find, and every sourcing trip is a bit different. It keeps things exciting. 'As I have been doing it for many years I find it quite easy, but I am always learning new things. I have my 'go to' items that I will always pick up but every now and then I do step out of my comfort zone.

The best items to cash in and brands to ditch Now, alongside her full-time job, Kirsty spends between five and seven hours a week reselling and makes £6,000 on average a year. She beams: 'I average around £500 a month, last year was an exception and I made more [£8,000] as I started selling on WhatNot.' The savvy seller often buys items to resell from car boot sales and charity shops, but also claims: 'I have found lots of profitable items to resell from Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted? QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted... The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it. Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017. More information here: So, which singular item has made her the most cash? Well, Kirsty reveals: 'One of the biggest sales that sticks in my mind is a 'It was 50p and when I got it home I put it in a drawer as I needed to buy a battery and completely forgot about it for a few months. 'When I finally got around to testing and researching it I found that it was an Argos exclusive release so was quite rare. 'I didn't know how to price it so in situations like this I will list the item as an auction as opposed to Buy It Now, that way the market can determine its price. When the auction finished it had ended at £260.' Brands like Hotter, Clarks, and Hush Puppies might not seem exciting at first, but they often sell quickly and for a decent profit Kirsty Quinn Not only this, but she also shares the other items that sell fast, as she explains: 'Retro toys always sell well for me. I grew up in the 90s so love selling things like care bears and Polly Pocket. 'I also sell a lot of mugs, Starbucks mugs tend to sell well and some Disney mugs can be really sought after. 'When it comes to reselling shoes, some brands tend to get overlooked - but they can actually do really well. Brands like Hotter, Clarks, and Hush Puppies might not seem exciting at first, but they often sell quickly and for a decent profit.' But if you're wondering what to avoid, Kirsty acknowledges: 'In clothing, I tend to avoid fast fashion brands like Shein and Primark as they do not hold as much value. 'I think when people buy second hand clothing they are looking for more quality pieces that are going to last.' Top tips for resellers Sharing her top tips for resellers, Kirsty first of all advises: 'Do your research and be consistent. The selling apps like a 'lister' - it keeps the algorithm happy and boosts your store and your listings. 'Rather than listing seven items all in one day, schedule them out so you have one listing go live every day. 'If I am posting on Vinted I will try to post at peak times when people are going to be scrolling. I find that the 'down' time just after dinner is great, so between 6:30pm and 8:30pm.' A little effort with your pictures and title can make a big difference Kirsty Quinn And where your images are concerned, she recommends: 'I try to keep things as simple and clean as possible - no clutter, just a clear background so the item stands out. 'I take pictures from every angle, and if there's any damage, I make sure to show it clearly in the photos and mention it in the listing. Transparency goes a long way with buyers. 'You don't need any fancy photography gear to get started, either. I take all my photos in the brightest room in the house - no light boxes or special setups. 'I just use whatever I've got lying around to help things look their best. For example, I'll use toilet roll tubes to shape shoes or even a dumbbell to prop up a hat!' Mistakes to avoid Kirsty also gets candid on the common mistakes sellers will need to avoid, as she warns: 'Always be thorough when picking up items. 'It is easy to get excited when you find an item at the car boot sale or at the 'With clothing, check over for holes and stains. Also check for shrinkage, if the bottom hem is curling this is a tell-tale sign that the item has been in the tumble dryer for too long!' Side hustles in numbers Based on new research from Finder, an estimated 22.8 million Brits are using side hustles to top up their income. Among those aged 18-23, 68 percent have a side hustle in 2024. Those aged 24-42 aren't far behind, with 65 per cent having an additional source of income. Side hustles are less popular among older generations, with 40 percent of those aged 43-54 having one. Whereas 23 percent of people aged 55-73 and just 7 per cent of those aged 74 and over are earning extra cash this way. She also sets the record straight on the importance of uploading the right images and the correct keywords, and claims that keeping things simple is a huge seller error, as she adds: 'Your photos and keywords really matter - they're what get people to actually click on your listings. 'I once bought a pair of Vans on an eBay auction for £10.50. The listing had dark, unclear photos and the title just said 'vans x spongebob,' so it didn't catch much attention. 'I took some brighter, clearer photos on a white background and changed the title to something more detailed: 'Vans SpongeBob Rainbow High Hi Top Lace-Up Trainers Shoes Size UK 7 EU 40.5.' I ended up reselling them for £38.99. 'Just goes to show that a little effort with your pictures and title can make a big difference.' Despite her financial success, Kirsty gets candid on 'receiving negative comments,' as she admits: 'I have had a couple [of comments] but not too many. 'I think at the moment people are having quite a tough time financially so can appreciate a 'I am quite open with my reselling journey and like to share what I pick up so that other people can do the same. 'If just one person picks up something helpful from what I've shared - whether it helps them pay off a bit of debt, save for a holiday, or put something aside for a house deposit - then I'm honestly really happy with that.' Getting started And for those eager to get started, Kirsty explains: 'Doing your research really helps! There's so much information out there about reselling, and most of it is super easy to access. 'eBay is also a great tool for checking what things are actually worth - just search for the item and use the 'sold items' filter to see what people have paid for it recently. I do this all the time. 'I might be sitting on the sofa scrolling through eBay and will think about something that might be valuable so I will look it up. That way, if I see it while I'm out sourcing, I'll know if it's worth picking up.'
