Not only this, but Chloe Chandler, 25, a side hustler from the UK, claimed that people often make the same mistake when it comes to pricing their clothes on Vinted.
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.'
The blonde-haired beauty, who is a top Vinted seller with over 500 five star reviews, stressed the mistake many people make, as she added: 'There are some brands at the moment 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.
'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 previously warned that Vinted sellers should never spray perfume on items, then listed the 18 brands that are currently flying on Vinted.
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.
She voiced: 'Some of them are doing really, really well.'
For those looking to get rid of their old clothes, Chloe advised: 'If you manually search the item that you are selling and try and find something similar, you'll be able to see what sort of price it goes for on Vinted.
I've made £2.5k on Vinted in three months - here's my top tips, including the best day of the week to list your items
'Don't go by the suggested pricing that Vinted gives you when you try and enter the price when you are uploading your item.'
Instead, she recommended: 'Save it as a draft and then manually search it because the suggested prices aren't accurate.
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.'

Chloe Chandler
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @chloe_chandlerx, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as viewers eagerly raced to the comments to share their thoughts.
One person said: 'I tried buying a Jane Norman top that was listed for £2 and someone bought it within half a minute.'
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 from 2000s.'

The Harvester restaurant in Bristol wrapped up business this week - with the chain claiming its closure is to 'make way for something new and exciting'. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A popular Harvester restaurant in Bristol shut its doors on Sunday Credit: Google Maps 3 The restaurant was Bradley Stoke's Willow Brook Centre Credit: Alamy Situated in Bradley Stoke's Willow Brook Centre, the restaurant served locals for years. The team announced in a post on Facebook last Sunday: "Today we close our doors for the last time at Harvester Willow Brook. "It's a sad day for all the team involved. "We would like to thank all team, guests, friends and family for their support this week and always."

You can find your nearest Harvester by using our Find a Harvester page." It is not yet known what will replace the restaurant. Major UK pub chain announces sweeping closures & job losses What is happening to the hospitality industry? By Laura McGuire, consumer reporter MANY Food and drink chains have been struggling in recently as the cost of living has led to fewer people spending on eating out. Businesses had been struggling to bounce back after the pandemic, only to be hit with soaring energy bills and inflation. Multiple chains have been affected, resulting in big-name brands like Wetherspoons and Frankie & Benny's closing branches. Some chains have not survived, Byron Burger fell into administration last year, with owners saying it would result in the loss of over 200 jobs. Pizza giant, Papa Johns is shutting down 43 of its stores soon. Tasty, the owner of Wildwood, said it will shut sites as part of major restructuring plans It comes as a beloved bar chain with more than 30 locations in the UK announced it closed one of its shopping centre venues after nine years of trading. The Cosy Club at Ipswich's Buttermarket Shopping Centre announced it made the "very difficult decision" to close its doors on May 31. Managing Director Lucy Knowles revealed it was no longer "financially viable" for the popular restaurant to stay open. "We're very disappointed that, after nine years trading, we have taken the very difficult decision to close Cosy Club Ipswich," Lucy said. She added: "This is only the second Cosy Club we've ever closed but, unfortunately, it wasn't financially viable for us to continue trading there. "We would like to thank all of our team for their spirit, professionalism, and hard work and all our fabulous customers for their support over the years." Despite the closure, food lovers in Ipswich can still dine at Loungers - which operates Cosy Club - after confirming that Marinero Lounger is still set to open. The new bar and restaurant will open on July 2 at the Waterfront, in the former Burton and Sons warehouse.

Top 10 fastest-selling used cars last month with bargain hatchback topping the list… and a shock runner-up
The motor in the top spot took just 8.6 days before it was snapped up HOT CAKES Top 10 fastest-selling used cars last month with bargain hatchback topping the list… and a shock runner-up Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE top 10 fastest-selling motors last month have been revealed - and the car ranked in second place is somewhat surprising. Data from Motors shared this week showed that used examples of the evergreen Vauxhall Corsa were the quickest out of the door of dealerships across the country in May. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The newest version of the Vauxhall Corsa was the best-selling used car of May Credit: PA 2 The Ford Explorer was, perhaps surprisingly, in second spot Credit: Rich Pearce On average, a Corsa that's roughly six months to a year old stood on a forecourt for just 8.6 days before it was snapped up. The much-loved hatchback, which, on average costs between £11,000 and £14,000 second-hand, was followed, perhaps surprisingly, by the Ford Explorer in second place. Nearly-new examples of the pure-electric family SUV sold after 11.6 days on average - which the experts at Motors believing the Explorer's popularity was down to its 'keen pricing'. Still, the Explorer's place on the list is by far the most eye-catching, compared to others. The full top-10 list can be found below. Fastest selling used cars in the UK in May 1 - Vauxhall Corsa Age: 6 Months to 1 Year Fuel Type: Petrol Mileage: Less than 5k Miles Average Days to Sell: 8.6 2 - Ford Explorer Age: Less than 6 Months Fuel Type: Electric Mileage: Less than 5k Miles Average Days to Sell: 11.6 3 - MG HS Age: 1 Year to 2 Years Fuel Type: Petrol Mileage: 10k Miles to 20k Miles Average Days to Sell: 11.7 4 - Seat Ateca Age: Less than 6 Months Fuel Type: Petrol Mileage: Less than 5k Miles Average Days to Sell: 13.1 5 - Peugeot 2008 Age: Less than 6 Months Fuel Type: Petrol Mileage: Less than 5k Miles Average Days to Sell: 13.2 6 - Toyota Yaris Age: 2 Years to 3 Years Fuel Type: Hybrid Mileage: 10k Miles to 20k Miles Average Days to Sell: 14.7 7 - MG HS Age: 1 Year to 2 Years Fuel Type: Petrol Mileage: 5k Miles to 10k Miles Average Days to Sell: 14.8 8 - Vauxhall Corsa Age: 3 Years to 4 Years Fuel Type: Petrol Mileage: 20k Miles to 30k Miles Average Days to Sell: 16.0 9 - Peugeot 208 Age: Less than 6 Months Fuel Type: Petrol Mileage: Less than 5k Miles Average Days to Sell: 16.2 10 - Nissan Qashqai Age: 3 Years to 4 Years Fuel Type: Petrol Mileage: 10k Miles to 20k Miles Average Days to Sell: 17.9 Motors also revealed that dealer inventories averaged 52 units during May with the average price of a used car on their platform at £17,197. Overall, dealers were forced to trim their prices to get stock off of their forecourts. Commenting on the data for May, Motors marketing director Lucy Tugby told Car Dealer Mag: 'Other nearly new cars in our Top 10 include the Seat Ateca, Peugeot 2008 and Peugeot 208, suggesting competitive pricing as dealers moved to clear their stocks to avoid competing with promotions on new cars. 'The fast sales were achieved despite our May Market View analysis tracking a monthly increase in days to sell from 29.3 to 30.3.' OUT WITH THE OLD We're almost at the halfway point of 2025 in what's been a whirlwind six months or so in the motoring world. Ford puma E The UK is in the midst of a transition to electric vehicles which comes with new regulations and economic pressures, while the industry continues to adapt to changing consumer behaviour. Elsewhere, the Ford Puma remains the nation's favourite motor while Tesla's favouritism begins to dip, and Nissan's problems are going from bad to worse. We've also had some exciting car releases, from the Alpine A290 hot hatchback and Dacia Bigster SUV, through to the outrageous Aston Martin Valhalla. We've also learned of the demise of some of our favourite models - ready to drive off into the sunset. Here are some of the biggest nameplates reaching the end of their production runs that have been announced this year.

Boots shoppers devastated as popular snack is axed from shops
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BOOTS has axed a popular snack, leaving customers devastated. The chemist has confirmed that it no longer sells Eat Real lentil chips. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Boots has axed a popular snack leaving shoppers devastated Credit: Getty 2 Boots has confirmed that it no longer sells Eat Real lentil chips Credit: Sainsbury's The tasty crisps come in several flavours, including Tomato and Basil, Salted, Sour Cream and Chive and Chilli and Lemon. The plant-based snack is made with nutritious pulses, grains and greens. A 95g bag usually costs around £2. Shoppers have taken to social media to ask where the popular snack had gone. One visited social media website X, formerly Twitter, to ask: '@BootsUK please tell me you've not stopped selling the chilli and lemon lentil crisps.' To which the Boots Help account replied: 'Hi Jo, thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately it appears that this product has been discontinued in our stores. I apologise for the disappointment this may cause.' Retailers often discontinue products to make way for newer items on shelves based on sales and customer demand. When The Sun reached out to Boots it confirmed that the crisps will no longer be available on its shelves. But it said that shoppers can still get their hands on other lentil-based crisps individually and as part of the Boots Meal Deal. Among the other options are Properchips, which come in BBQ and Salt & Vinegar flavours. Four ways to save on your weekly shop at Boots The snacks are a similar price, at around £2 for 100g. Other discontinued products The lentil crisps are not the only product that has been pulled from supermarket shelves recently. Tesco recently axed its southern friend chicken instant flavour noodles in a blow to shoppers. The snacks cost around 50p and were available in store and online. Why are products axed or recipes changed? ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders. Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether. They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers. There are several reasons why this could be done. For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes. Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs. They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable. For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018. It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version. Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year. Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks. While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose. The supermarket also axed its eight packs of beef sausages this week in a blow to BBQ fans. Customers can still buy six packs of Tesco Finest Aberdeen Angus Beef Sausages for £3 and four packs of Tesco Finest Pork and Beef smoked sausages for £4. Meanwhile, last month The Sun exclusively revealed that Cadbury's has axed Fry's Coffee Cream after first launching it in 2023. Cadbury didn't say when the Fry's Coffee Cream multi-packs were discontinued - just that they were available while stocks lasted. Carlsberg Britvic has also axed Tango Dark Berry Sugar Free after customers reported that they struggled to find it on shelves. A spokesperson for the drinks maker said it stopped producing the fizzy drink earlier this year. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
