Standard issue for all women.

Hello and welcome to episode 291 of the Standard Issue PODC.

I'm Mickey Noonan and, Vinted.

Vinted's funny, isn't it?

It's funny. That it is. Yeah, I put some stuff up for sale because that's what you do on it. You buy and sell stuff and I put it up for a certain price and someone got in touch with me and offered me half of the asking

price and I said no thank you and then someone got in touch a different person got in

touch and offered me the asking price and I said yes please you could have this jumper and then the

initial person got back in touch to be like is this sold and I said oh yeah it's been

sold and they said why have you sold it you knew I was interested

would be did you reply maybe don't treat this like a car boot sale

will you take 10 p for it they have some buttons and ribbons

please will you accept them in exchange for your

interest, is it? Like make a preposterously low offer.

Yeah, she needs to show more interest. Yeah, asking price interest, always great, always great.

I find I see a lot of people saying, oh, it's terrible because people completely knock down the asking

price. But every time I look and see something I want to buy, the person's basically

charging what it costs to the shop. And then I have to pay for postage and I can't return it.

I just buy it in a shop. Some people are fully deranged about what their clothes are worth.

I guess on that score it depends on what the item is, whether it's like an item that's been discontinued

or was just a limited edition, then people will absolutely make a book on it and fair play we live in a capitalist economy

but yeah like say Lucy and yach dungarese which are our favorite are yours they're always going to go for almost as much as you pay for them new.

Why? I don't know. Just it's a vintage rule of life, a depop rule of life and eBay rule of life, all the secondhand places.
