Woman branded 'absurd' for selling Primark vest tops online for £20 hits back at trolls

Online marketplaces, including the likes of Vinted and eBay, have arisen in popularity in recent years as savvy money savers seek to make extra cash on their pre-loved clothing.

Most account holders will offer their clothes at extremely discounted prices, but this isn't always the case.

Britney Watts - who has been slammed by trolls for charging 'absolutely absurd' prices for second-hand Primark clothing - defended her option of charging £20 for a vest top.

The TikTok user - who posts under @britneywatts04 - captioned her video, which has surpassed 42,000 views to date, writing: "Definitely the worst offer I have ever received on Vinted."

The TikToker detailed how a customer had approached her to request a bundle of nine items for a discounted price.

She explained: "It should come to about £86.40 with my bundle discounts on, but I received a message.

"It said, 'hey I know it's a stretch but I was just wondering if you would do this bundle for £20?'

"Are people serious?! This person has 4/5 star reviews which concerns me."

Britney went on: "One of the items they've added is worth £25 - that's what I have it listed as. And you want all of them for £20?

"I'm sorry, it's baffled me. Some people and their offers on Vinted - yes, fair enough I understanding you asking. If you don't ask you don't get.

"But honestly, the nerve!" She added.

Since sharing, Britney's video has raked in over 70 comments to date - with several people jumping to the defence of the Vinted buyer.

Taking to the comment section, one person wrote: "Don't agree with the offer but you're selling a Primark vest top on Vinted for £20 overpriced to say the least."

Britney responded: "Don't agree with the offer but you're selling a Primark vest top on Vinted for £20 overpriced to say the least."

"The funny thing is with my prices I get people buying items off me to resale On depop you have someone selling a blue atmosphere vest for £28!"

Responding further, fellow TikTok users weren't convinced with the decision - with one person saying: "Not all convinced - yeah, that's absolutely absurd."

A second agreed: "I've read it and still believe it's absurd for Primark and Asda pieces no matter how old but respect the hustle."

On the other hand, a different social media user penned: "People are so cheeky on Vinted ahahaha."
