Started using Vinted recently and my god the cultural difference between the French and us is mad. The French sell their class second hand clothes at a massive discount while Irish sellers seem to try to flog everything above RRP. Favourite example is these McDonalds Happy Meal socks for a tenner.

I’d like a pair, wouldn’t give you a tenner mind you.
To be fair, Unopened Mcdonald’s branded Grinch socks are a very niche item so anyone actively looking for a pair would probably pay even more than a tenner
A lot of the class second hand stuff you see listed on vinted at a huge discount is most likely reproduction stuff. You might get some genuine bargains, but the vast majority of designer stuff at low price will be knock offs.
I just opened the app and went to suit jackets for men.
The first results are lads in France selling Shein jackets. Very easy to cherry pick examples.
I wanted them socks when McDonald’s was doing them. Ordered the Grinch Big Mac meal.
They were all out of the socks.
If you want a laugh, look at the “art” being sold there – some of it is absolutely hilarious.
There are an awful lot of clowns selling second hand stuff in Ireland. I regularly see things on adverts that are around the retail price or marginally less. Then they get defensive when you point it out, it’s pretty funny.
They are fab socks but defo not worth a tenner!!
