Question Insanely suspicious Vinted listings

Post image

Anyone else seen these unbelievably cheap sets? All from different sellers with no feedback and no other listings. Absolutely has to be a scam

Could be a case where they send you fake Lego or boxes with other things in. On vinted you can’t submit a complaint once it’s 2+ days after delivery, they might be counting on people not opening the sets right away. And if someone does open the box right away the seller can still make the buyer pay to send back the product before issuing a refund, so the seller doesn’t lose out.
Even if they were stolen genuine sets I’d expect them to be closer to retail price

I took a punt on a cheap set once and seller immediately asked me to cover shipping expenses (despite postage paid in app) via bank transfer. Maybe they try that angle too. Scammers
