Un vide-dressing occasionnel rapporte rarement plus de 200 € par mois. Mais l'écart avec les vendeurs les plus performants est plus large qu'on ne le pense : 300 à 900 €/mois pour une activité régulière (2 à 5h/semaine), et 1 000 à 2 500 €+/mois pour les profils qui traitent Vinted comme un vrai canal de vente structuré. La différence ne tient ni à la chance ni à la taille du dressing de départ : elle tient presque entièrement à la méthode (algorithme, pricing, réactivité) appliquée avec régularité.
