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.'

Prince William's cousin Lady Marina Windsor reveals she's engaged in surprise post - as she shows off her stunning ring
Lady Marina Windsor has announced she is engaged. The philanthropic executive, 32, who is the third cousin of Prince William and Prince Harry, shared the news to Instagram on Sunday with a series of sweet snaps of herself and now-fiancé Nico Macauley, also 32. A short caption, reading 'very happy' was enough to convey how Marina, the granddaughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, felt about being betrothed to her partner of two years and becoming the future Mrs Macauley. Lady Marina and Nico, an account executive with Zscaler, have rarely been spotted out together, which has perhaps left fans shocked by the news of the happy engagement. The royal, who was 25th in line to the British throne before being excluded in 2008 after she was confirmed as a Roman Catholic, was recently spotted at a lavish soirée in Kew Gardens attended by the King and Queen, though her beau was nowhere in sight. And though he has made a series of loved up appearances on her Instagram page, accompanying captions have often left fans wondering about the nature of their relationship. Today all was confirmed with three images showing Lady Marina's gorgeous engagement ring which was front and centre in all posts. The silver ring featured what appeared to be a smooth circular onyx gemstone sealed in the centre of the jewel. The first picture featured the newly engaged couple smiling gleefully for the camera while Marina showed of the precious jewel with lightly manicured nails. Donning a white floral dress, and no make-up she looked straight at the lens while bearing a large smile. The next image was dimly-lit and taken in what appeared to be the backdrop of a restaurant, though her large grin could be spotted from miles away. The third picture showed Marina in a yellow dress and Nico in a navy blue wool jacket, as the happy pair shared a toast to the good news. Messages of congratulations poured in for the soon-to-be husband and wife, including one from her younger sister, Lady Amelia Windsor, 29. 'Yippeeee!' wrote the model. Other people stated their pleasure at the happy news, while one person said the announcement left them 'crying'. In 2023, Marina shocked fans when she attended a pal's wedding wearing traditional Nigerian attire. While some members of the Royal Family were preparing their outfits for King Charles's Coronation, Lady Marina Windsor was seen enjoying dressing up in a Nigerian custom look. She was spotted donning a head wrap, called a gele, with a lilac, laced dress, which was all to do with a friend's wedding in the West African country. She was joined by her fellow British bridesmaids, Marina Cochrane and Rose Crosthwaite, who work in the art world. Lady Marina has been on the Buckingham Palace balcony at previous royal occasions but wasn't there for the Coronation because she's not a working member of 'The Firm'.

Race Across The World star Sam Gardiner's parents share heartfelt tribute after his tragic death aged 24 as they thank fans for their support
The parents of Race Across The World contestant Sam Gardiner have shared their devastation at his loss and thanked supportive fans, following his tragic death aged 24. The reality TV contestant had been driving on the A34 in Gatley, near Manchester on Monday when his car suddenly left the road, rolling before it eventually landed on its side, according to Greater Manchester Police. Sam, who featured in the BBC show's second series in 2020 with his mum Jo, was the only person in the vehicle. His mother and father, Jo and Andrew Gardiner, have now paid tribute to their late son and admitted they've been 'overwhelmed' by all the messages of support from fans. Jo said: 'We have been overwhelmed by the tens of thousands of messages of love and support on social media and in comments to press reporting. 'We would like to thank the BBC, Studio Lambert and everyone at Race Across The World production, fellow contestants and fans of the show for all their support at this terrible time. It has been very comforting to know that Sam touched so many people.' The devastated parents have set up a Just Giving page to raise money in Sam's memory for National FASD, a charity that supports those with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder - which Sam suffered from. Jo explained: 'I have been particularly moved by all the messages that Sam was an inspiration to many who have been impacted by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). 'We adopted Sam and he was diagnosed with FASD. As viewers of Season 2 will recall, this was a big challenge both for Sam and for us as his parents. 'National FASD helped us on that journey. If some good comes of this tragedy, it will be that FASD is better understood. Dad Andrew added: 'When the news broke last week, friends asked how they could help. After some thought, I decided to set up a Just Giving page to raise money for National FASD in memory of Sam. 'The page is called 'Sam Gardiner; Super Human'. I set the target at £500 thinking a few friends might be generous enough to make a donation. 'So far its raised 20 times that. It's very humbling to see the RATW Family rally to this worthy cause'. National FASD took to their official social media to also pay tribute to Sam and say they were 'honoured to help carry on his legacy'. The charity penned: 'Sam lived his life full of love, exuberance and adventure as seen on BBC's Race Across the World. 'National FASD is both humbled and honoured to help carry on his legacy via the donations coming from hundreds of people'. Jo and Andrew announced Sam's tragic death this week with a heartfelt statement, saying: 'We are devastated by the loss of our beloved son Sam in a terrible accident. 'Sam left us far too soon, and whilst words will never fully capture the light, joy and energy he brought into our lives, we hold on to the memories that made him so special. 'Sam was adored by his family. As a son, brother and nephew, he was loyal, funny and fiercely protective. 'He did Race Across The World in 2019, which opened his eyes to the wonder of adventure and travel. 'He was willing to go wherever the trail might lead and he touched everyone he met on the road. 'He found great happiness working as a landscape gardener on the west coast of Scotland. 'Sam brought warmth, laughter and a smattering of chaos wherever he went. He leaves behind a huge hole in our hearts. 'We will miss him endlessly, but we'll also remember him with smiles, tall tales, and a depth of love that will never fade.' A spokesperson for the makers of Race Across The World said: 'We are all deeply saddened to hear the tragic news about Sam. 'Everyone who worked with him and indeed everyone who watched Sam could see just how precious and transformative the trip was for both him and his mum, Jo. 'Sam embraced the seven-week trip with an energy, love and a determination that saw the pair enjoy adventures across Mexico to Argentina making audiences fall in love with them and their special bond as a result. 'Since filming, both Sam and Jo have been an integral part of the Race Across The World cast family, and on behalf of us all from the BBC, production and the rest of the cast, we would like to extend our deepest condolences to his parents, Andrew and Jo; his brothers, William and Charlie; his step mum Justine; his family and friends.' Sam had been working in Scotland as a landscape gardener but travelled down to Stockport, Greater Manchester to go to a family birthday, according to his uncle Jonny Gray. During their time on Race Across The World, Sam and Jo aimed to get across South America quicker than their fellow contestants, with a strict budget and no mobile phone. The pair failed to complete the challenge as they ran out of money, but he described it as a 'life-changing' experience. During filming, Sam said: 'Mum and I are very close - we often think or say the same things. 'She has travelled a lot in her life, so I think it would be fun to do it with her.'
