A woman has sparked a debate on Vinted after listing a 16-year-old Tesco dress for £7, leading to a heated exchange with a potential buyer. Beth, the seller, originally purchased the dress at age 15 and later wore it to her graduation, giving it sentimental value. She reduced the price from £8.50 to £7.50 after a buyer showed interest, but the haggling continued.
The buyer requested a further reduction, arguing the dress was from Tesco and had little interest. Beth refused, stating the dress cost more than £7 when new and she had only worn it a few times. After rejecting offers of £5 and £6, the buyer angrily claimed she was the only interested party in two years.
Beth defended her stance, saying she would rather swap the dress for something of equal value than sell it for less than the price of two cups of coffee. The buyer eventually stopped responding. The incident, shared online, drew mixed reactions: some criticised Beth for overpricing a 16-year-old Tesco dress, while others supported her right to set her own price.
Beth acknowledged she might have been slightly unreasonable but felt the buyer was entitled. The dress, which she wore to her 15th birthday and graduation, remains unsold.
