“Am I The Vinted Idiot?”: 72 Unhinged Vinted Posts That Had People Doing A Second And Third Take (New Pics)

Vinted is an online marketplace where people can buy and sell secondhand stuff, from vintage dresses to old film cameras. The idea is pretty simple: you list something you no longer want, someone decides to buy it, and the deal is done. At least, that’s how it’s supposed to work.

In reality, things can get a lot more chaotic. Buyers and sellers get into bizarre arguments in the chat, while some listings are so strange you have to wonder who thought posting them was a good idea. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the funniest and most unhinged things that have happened on Vinted. Scroll down to see for yourself.

Remember when finding the perfect secondhand treasure actually required some legwork? If you wanted a pleated vintage skirt or had your heart set on a fabulous leopard-print coat, you might spend an afternoon making your way through thrift stores and hoping luck was on your side.

Then online marketplaces came along, and suddenly all that digging could be done from the sofa. With a few searches and some scrolling, the wardrobes of thousands of strangers were right there on your phone.

Vinted’s own story began with a wardrobe that needed clearing out. In 2008, Milda Mitkutė was moving apartments in Vilnius, Lithuania, and wanted a simple way to sell clothes she no longer wanted.

She brought the idea up to her friend Justas Janauskas at a party, although he initially doubted that many other people would have the same need. So they asked the guests around them. Their very informal market research changed his mind, and the two went on to create Vinted together.

The pair soon built the website, and they were in such a rush to get it up and running that they even forgot one pretty crucial detail: the “buy” button. Luckily, their friends noticed, Janauskas quickly fixed it, and Mitkutė went on to sell 40 of her own items in the first week.

From there, it was only a matter of time before the platform grew far beyond its Lithuanian beginnings. Today, Vinted has more than 105 million users around the world and operates in 27 countries.

#12 Stop With The Sob Stories

Of course, put that many people in one digital marketplace and a little chaos is inevitable. Someone might list a cracked phone case for $1, while someone else spends days trying to knock 50 cents off the price of a T-shirt. Others recruit their cats as models, posing them next to whatever they’re hoping to sell.

Some buyers send unbelievably cheeky offers, and sellers occasionally fire back with replies that turn a tiny negotiation into a full-blown feud. The exchanges can get so ridiculous that you start wondering whether real people are actually typing them.

#15 Why Are So Many People Like This?

These kinds of interactions aren’t unique to Vinted. They can be explained by something called the “online disinhibition effect.”

In simple terms, people often feel less restrained online than they would face-to-face. On the app, the stranger you’re dealing with is often little more than a username and a profile picture.

Dr Bernie Hogan, an associate professor and senior research fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute, told Cosmopolitan that this can make it “harder to think of other people as people,” leaving us with less incentive to behave politely.

#17 I Have Found A Unicorn

I was looking for a camera lens the other day, and right from the start the experience was surprisingly incredible, as the seller even took the lens to a photo shop for them to check it out before shipping it to me.

Fast forward to today, and I open the package to this 🌈

Apparently the lens box was too big for the shipping modality, so they had to fold it and take out the lens itself, which was no problem at all, since they wrap it with a neck warmer that I also got as a freebie. Everything explained in a handwritten note in Spanish, my native language, but I suspect not that of the sender (the Spanish is impeccable, but their profile locates them in Belgium), which is another level of attentiveness.

I already told you via chat, but thank you, kind stranger! :)

#18 Satisfactory? They’re Falling Apart 🤦🏻‍♀️

You also have to consider how used we’ve become to getting things almost instantly online. Psychologist Dr Tara Quinn-Cirillo told Cosmopolitan that this culture of immediacy can leave us with less patience. Add tiredness and the pressure of the cost-of-living crisis, and a lot of us are already stressed before we even open the app.

By the time someone logs onto Vinted after a hard day and starts negotiating over a pair of used trainers, they may have very little tolerance left for a slow reply or an offer they consider insulting.

Still, having Vinted around is pretty great. It gives clothes and other belongings a second life, while making secondhand shopping much easier than spending an afternoon hunting through thrift stores and hoping you stumble across the right thing.

Every now and then, though, you may have to deal with an especially strange buyer or seller along the way. At least when those conversations go completely off the rails, the rest of the internet gets some excellent entertainment out of them.

#22 I Hate The “Gifts”. I Don’t Want Your Trash

So someone sent me those “gifts” with the dress I bought. I really don’t need or want those things and don’t even have anyone to give it to. Chocolate, okay, but even that is totally unnecessary. Sorry but I really don’t want that ugly angel or ugly cheap earrings I DIDN’T ORDER. What am I supposed to do with it? Throw it away instead of you? Were you cleaning out your house or something? So annoying.

I. Don’t. Want. Your. Trash.

#66 Humans Are So Kind Sometimes

I purchased the above bag which was handmade by a lovely woman, after I bought it she messaged thanking me and so I told her that I was getting it for year 10 as a school bag and that was that. Today I went to pick it up and upon opening my parcel I saw a post it note saying that she’d made me a pencil case for me to use that matches the bag. I didn’t have a new pencil case and was just planning on using my previous one. I love this so much!!! gosh I just love people, this genuinely made my week 🩷
