Vinted, the popular second-hand platform, adds a new electronics category to its app, offering users the ability to buy and sell items like VR headsets, e-readers, and accessories. In 2023, Vinted reported its first profit of $19.2M.
Vinted, originally known for second-hand fashion, has expanded its offerings by adding a new electronics category. The new section allows users to buy and sell various electronic devices and accessories. This move is expected to attract a broader audience, making Vinted more than just a fashion marketplace.
Although Vinted previously included a small selection of electronics, primarily video games, the company has now expanded to include VR headsets, wearables, e-readers, and many accessories like chargers, tripods, and digital pens. This expansion aligns with Vinted's strategy to diversify its product offerings and tap into the growing market for second-hand electronics.
This new electronics category complements existing ones like Entertainment, Home, and Pets, making Vinted a more versatile platform. As users look for sustainable options, the inclusion of electronics reflects Vinted's commitment to growing its user base while addressing consumer demand for a wider range of products.
Vinted's growth strategy is paying off financially. In 2023, the company reported its first-ever profit of €17.8M ($19.2M), a significant milestone for the Slovenian firm. This success sets the stage for further expansion and innovation as Vinted continues to strengthen its position in the European second-hand market.
