The Vinted experiment

 The Offspring discovered buying on Vinted while she was in the UK, and since then, I decided to try selling things on the site.  Mostly clothing, being easy to ship, but other stuff as well.  Bought a pack of plastic envelopes to mail things in, since those are waterproof-ish and flexible, and only 10 cents each.  

So far, it's been a fair success.  We won't get rich, but we've sold some clothes, a Nintendo game, a K-pop album, and a DVD.  Listing is simple enough, and the site doesn't take a cut off the seller's end, so it's been worth trying.  I've sold 10 things so far, I think.  Time to look at what I've had listed for a few weeks, and either drop the price or just donate it somewhere.  

 I've also done a little buying myself, partly to get a feedback rating.  But, also, found a great beach wrap and a sari that will be great tablecovers or whatever, and some foreign coins.
