Charity shop resellers have long known that certain items can be flipped for a tidy profit, and one TikTok user has shared two specific finds that she says are guaranteed sellers. Lynne, a reseller on the platform, posted a video detailing the items she consistently picks up for quick and easy returns.
Her first recommendation is a men’s cummerbund. Lynne explained that she bought one for around 20p from a charity shop and sold it for £3.99. She noted that cummerbunds from retailers like Marks and Spencer, Debenhams, or House of Fraser sell particularly well, especially as many men need them for formal occasions like cruises but don’t want to buy new.
The second item is fancy dress costumes, particularly those for adult stag dos. Lynne showcased a “naked man” costume she found in its original packaging. Despite initial concerns it might be banned from Vinted, the costume sold immediately after it was approved, fetching £7. She emphasised that any adult fancy dress item for stag parties is a quick flip.
Lynne’s tips were backed by other resellers in the comments, with one stating they had sold 15 cummerbunds individually within a week during wedding season. Meanwhile, a former charity shop volunteer defended resellers, noting that they still pay for goods and thus support the charity’s income.
