"Twice: Buy, and sell"(Who doesn't like a little free money.)

So, this afternoon I bumped into a website that is called "twice". It basically is an internet based consignment shop where you can buy and sell gently used clothes. Now, there are many good things about this site, and there are bad things as well. Keep reading to find out what the pros and cons are of "Twice".

Pros -


  • There is an app that can be downloaded so that you can shop and sell with ease.
  • There are plenty of styles, choices, sizes and colors of clothing etc.
  • You can earn credit that can be spent on the site (read more about this below)

Cons -

  • You do not get much money for selling things. For example, if you wanted to sell an American Eagle Outfitters dress you would only get $1.00-$3.00
  • You can only sell certain brands on there. 
  • When you are selling you have to ship your item to them where they put it up for sale using their pictures etc.

So, overall it's a lot better when you're buying on this site versus selling. You get cheaper prices, and you can earn credit to spend on the site almost immediately. 

One last thing, You will get $10 when signing up through the link below. Plus another $10 if you download the iphone app and another $10 if you download the ipad app! I was able to get $30 in credit on this site (and the credit can be used towards shipping). It's almost like free money. Good luck! This is not a scam. I got my credits all the way up to $40 just by making my family members and fiance download the app, and letting me log in. Here's a screenshot of my actual account:

Vinted App Review: Buy, Sell, and Swap Clothing From Your Own Closet

First and foremost, I stumbled upon Vinted while I was scrolling through my Facebook. Might I add that I find it funny how they strategically place ads so that you get that thought in your mind that says, "Hey, I wonder what this app is like". Haha, so I couldn't help it, I then clicked and downloaded the app. Initially, the app was kind of confusing. There were so many things going on at once, (buying, selling, shopping, swapping, gifting, etc.). So, I think that the best way to describe this app is that it is sort of like an online yard sale, except instead of only buying and selling things you can swap and give away things as well.

Ultimately I found it very fun to look through my closet and find things that I don't necessarily want or need anymore, and turn it into money or things that I actually want or need. More specifically, I had this designer bag in my closet for forever that I had never worn because it was a gift and wasn't really my style, and by the end I ended up with a different designer bag that was completely "me".

Overall, I give this app a rating of 10/10, especially if you really enjoy clothing, accessories, shoes, and other things that fit in those categories. Heck, I could even say that I'm pretty much addicted. I can't help but check the app every 20 minutes just to see if anything has changed.
