Want to turn more conversations into sales on Vinted without blindly dropping your prices? Here are 5 ready-to-use negotiation scripts, backed by simple psychological principles and visuals that reassure. Bonus: I explain how I use VintyLook to create try-on photos that raise acceptance rates. Result: fewer haggles, more confirmed sales.

We’ve all gotten that “still available?”… then nothing

I still remember my first wave of listings on Vinted. Ten open chats, six "Offer received", and in the end… two sales. The mistake? I was answering on a whim. No structure, no visual proof, too many arguments at once. Since then I developed simple scripts that go straight to the point, and I boosted my visuals with AI-generated try-on photos using VintyLook. Result: hesitant buyers take action, even without aggressive price cuts.

Want the same? Let’s go step by step, realistic and actionable. 🧠

Fundamentals of a Vinted negotiation that converts (without undercutting)

Before the scripts, a few golden rules I learned the hard way. A successful negotiation isn’t a price fight, it’s a transfer of trust. You need to show three things: 1) the item matches what the buyer wants, 2) it’s in great condition, 3) the offer they get is fair and time-limited.

• Smart price anchoring: set a public price slightly above your minimum threshold (10–15%). Why? To leave room to maneuver without feeling “ripped off” by small offers.
• Visual reassurance: a try-on photo is worth five messages. When I added try-on photos via VintyLook, I saw a sharp drop in questions like "how does it fit?" Less friction = more sales.
• Authentic urgency: offer a limited-time discount only when the conversation is engaged. The urgency must be real: "I’ll keep it listed today, otherwise I’ll remove it for a local pickup."
• Simplicity: one sentence = one idea. Nobody wants to read a novel in Vinted messages.
• Empathy: answer emotions, not just facts. "You’re right to wonder about the length, I made the same mistake with a chino that was too short — I’ll measure the hem for you."

Personal tip: I write my replies like I’m texting a friend, then remove the slang. The tone stays human, professional and cool.

5 Vinted negotiation scripts ready to copy-paste (and why they work)

Each script is optimized for a specific situation. Copy, paste, tweak a couple of words, and watch the difference. To maximize the effect, add a try-on photo made with VintyLook: the buyer projects themselves in 3 seconds and the negotiation becomes a formality.

Script 1 – “Response Magnet” for the classic “still available?”

Goal: trigger a real conversation instead of waiting for another like.

• Template message: "Yes, still available! It’s a [item name] in very good condition, worn 3–4 times. If you want I can share a try-on photo so you can see the fit. Do you have a specific question (size, length, material)?"

Why it works: you invite a specific question, offer visual proof (try-on photo), and remove friction before it appears.

My anecdote: I doubled my reply rate when I added the sentence "Do you have a specific question?" The brain loves checkboxes.

Do this: if they respond, add a try-on photo with VintyLook to confirm visually.

Don’t: just reply "yes". That’s the highway to ghosting.

Script 2 – “Value before discount” facing a too-low offer

Scenario: someone offers -40% immediately. Don’t go defensive — go value.

• Template message: "Thanks for your offer! FYI, the piece is in great condition: washed/stored properly, no defects, and it’s a sought-after model. I can do [your floor price + 1–2€] today and I’ll add a try-on photo to show the real fit. Deal?"

Variant if you have many likes: "Thanks! I’m getting quite a few likes on it. I can do [floor price + 2€] if we close today. I’ll send a try-on photo right away."

Why it works: you remind value (condition + rarity), stay firm but offer a concession, and create micro-urgency.

Mistake I made: accepting a big cut right away “to make it go.” Bad idea. Buyers sense weakness and keep pushing. Since I state my limit and hold it, I sell better and faster.

Script 3 – “Smart combo” when a buyer likes multiple items

Scenario: the buyer liked 2–3 pieces. Time to propose a bundle.

• Template message: "Hey! I saw you also liked [item B]. If you take both, I can do a pack price at [sum -10/15%] and I’ll add try-on photos to check the fit. Interested?"

Extra reassurance: "Both are about the same size (true to M). If needed, I can measure shoulders/length."

Why it works: you raise average order value, avoid two negotiations, and give the impression of a "good deal" without undercutting.

My takeaway: it’s my favorite script to clear a selling pile. With VintyLook I quickly create two try-on photos and the buyer decides from a single view.

Script 4 – “Last barrier” when the buyer hesitates about fit

Scenario: "I’m afraid it might be too short/long/tight."

• Template message: "I get it, I had the same doubt with a pair of jeans. Look at this try-on photo (true-to-fit). For info: leg length 100 cm, inseam 74 cm, higher waist. If it reassures you, I can drop [–2€] to close today."

Why it works: you answer fear with visual proof + measurements. The small final concession (–2€) acts as a trigger.

Pro tip: the try-on photo generated by VintyLook reassures without you having to wear the item. The AI keeps texture/fit realistic, and you can pick the model (gender, pose, background) if you subscribe.

Script 5 – “Ghost follow-up” after 24–48h of silence

Scenario: great conversation… then radio silence.

• 24h message: "Popping back in :) Let me know if you need a try-on photo or an exact measurement (shoulders/length). I can hold the item until tonight if you want."

• 48h message: "Friendly nudge: I’m preparing a shipment tomorrow. If you confirm today, I’ll include it and do a small gesture of [–1/–2€]. Let me know?"

Why it works: you follow up without pressure, offer concrete help (photo/measurement), and create a real window of opportunity (shipment planned).

Mistake to avoid: following up 3 times in 24h. That’s clingy. Give space, then come back with value (try-on photo, measurement, shipping availability).

Optimize your listings to negotiate less: the magic of try-on photos VintyLook

I lived it: while my photos were flat or on a hanger, I got mostly questions and low offers. The day I added realistic try-on photos with VintyLook I saw three immediate effects:

• More views: the algorithm loves listings that convert, and a try-on photo triggers more clicks.
• Fewer objections: the fit is visible. Messages become "I’ll take it" instead of "How does it fit?".
• Better margin: as perceived value rises, I reduce prices less during negotiation.

How it works in practice:

1. Paste your Vinted listing link into VintyLook.
2. The AI automatically detects the item.
3. A "try-on" image is generated in 1–2 minutes.
4. Download the photo and add it to your listing.

Smart pricing:

• 10 credits pack: €3.49 (perfect to launch 10 credible listings).
• 25 credits pack: €6.99 (25 for the price of 20).
• Subscription €11.99/month: up to 40 generations/month, custom model (pose, gender, background, body type), early access to new features. Ideal if you post often.
• Free: 1 free generation is temporarily unavailable (high demand).

Important: stay true to the item. Avoid altering details that would change reality (color/length). The goal is to reassure, not to embellish.

Step-by-step tutorial: from raw listing to confirmed sale

Here’s my 7-step routine to turn an average listing into an almost inevitable sale.

1. Define your floor price

• Check sold prices of similar items on Vinted ("Sold" tab).
• Set your public price at +10–15% above your floor to keep negotiation margin.

2. Write a title that matches searches

• Formula: Brand + Model + Color + Cut + Size.
• Example: "Levi’s 501 blue straight W30 L30 – Excellent condition".

3. Write a description that reassures and removes objections

• Include key measurements: shoulders, length, inseam.
• State exact condition (new, very good, good) and any small defects.
• Add a line "DM if you want a try-on photo."

4. Create a try-on photo with VintyLook

• Paste your listing link, let the AI detect the garment.
• Choose the model style if you’re subscribed (pose, gender, background).
• Download and add the try-on photo to the listing.

5. Prepare your 5 scripts in quick notes

• Save them on your phone (Notes app).
• Personalize 3–4 variables: floor price, follow-up timing, politeness formulas.

6. Manage negotiation with the right triggers

• "Still available?" → Script 1.
• Low offer → Script 2.
• Multiple likes → Script 3.
• Fit objection → Script 4.
• Silence 24–48h → Script 5.

7. Close the sale cleanly

• Summarize: "Perfect for [price], shipping tomorrow. I’ll confirm from the app. Thanks!"
• Pack neatly, photo the parcel (reassures and avoids disputes).

Pro tip: schedule 2–3 reply sessions daily (morning/lunch/evening). Quick replies boost your listings and show you’re a reliable seller.

Dos… and things you should NEVER do

Do:

• Always provide visual proof when a buyer hesitates (try-on photo, close-up of details).
• Be clear about measurements.
• Stay polite, even with low offers (every buyer has a budget).
• Use the shipping window ("I’m shipping tomorrow…") to create a natural deadline.

Don’t:

• Drop your price before reminding the buyer of value.
• Reply with walls of text: 1 message = 1 idea.
• Follow up 3 times in a few hours: it scares buyers off.
• Promise a different fit or color than reality.

Golden rule: "value → proof → limited concession → close." Repeat this cycle and you’ll see your close rate climb.

Real case: how I turned a "I’m thinking about it" into a sale in 10 minutes

I had a beige trench "like new". Two weeks of likes, zero purchase. I added a VintyLook try-on photo: views x1.8 in 48h. A buyer said "I’m unsure about the length". I replied with Script 4, attached the try-on photo + exact measurements. Then I added: "If you confirm today I’ll do –2€ and ship tomorrow morning." Ten minutes later: "It’s a yes for me!".

Takeaway: the photo killed the doubt, the limited concession triggered the purchase.

Quick checklist to close faster

• Your public price = floor + 10–15%
• Description = condition + measurements + small defects
• Try-on photo via VintyLook added
• Scripts saved in your notes
• Follow-ups planned (24h, 48h)
• Clear and polite closing

Why these scripts are "SEO-friendly" for the Vinted algorithm

Vinted favors listings that generate quality interactions (quick replies, favorites, conversions). Using short, action-oriented scripts you trigger:

• More replies (script 1)
• Better-targeted offers (script 2)
• Higher baskets (script 3)
• Fewer back-and-forths (script 4)
• Re-activated conversations (script 5)

Add try-on photos that increase conversion rate, and your listing naturally climbs the feed. It’s a snowball effect: credibility → visibility → sales.

Final word: sell like a pro, without living on the app

Negotiation is like a dance: you need the right rhythm, the right steps, and a clean finish. With these 5 scripts + the visual proof from VintyLook you have a simple, repeatable method. Test them on your next conversations, adjust your floor prices, and observe. It’s not magic, it’s process. And believe me, it changes everything. 🚀

FAQ

How do I set my floor price without getting it wrong?

I first look at sold prices of similar items (same brand, model, condition). I take the median, add 10–15% for my public price. My floor = median – 5% (if the item isn’t rare). For sought-after pieces, I stay above the median and rely on the try-on photo to defend value.

When should I offer a discount, and how much?

Only after reminding value and showing proof (try-on photo, measurements). Generally I make a 5–10% gesture at the end of a convo or on a pack. Lower than that I avoid: it hurts margin and the item’s image.

How long to wait before following up with a silent buyer?

24h for the first follow-up, 48h for the second. I don’t send a third follow-up unless there’s a real update (new try-on photo, extra measurement, shipment planned tomorrow).

How to answer “final price?” without sounding blunt?

I say: "I can do [floor price + 1–2€] if we close today, the item is in great condition. Need a try-on photo to check the fit?" It’s firm but friendly, and it shifts the talk back to value.

Can I use AI-generated photos on Vinted?

Yes as long as they remain faithful to the item and don’t create confusion about condition, color or fit. VintyLook generates realistic renders from YOUR photo, but always check the image reflects reality.

Is it better to accept a low offer quickly or wait?

If the item is in demand (many likes, sought-after brands), I wait and favor proof (try-on photo) + a small final discount. For more common items, I set a limit (floor) and stick to it. Selling quickly at a solid price > endless haggling.

Do VintyLook try-on photos work for all clothes?

They shine for jackets, coats, dresses, jeans, trousers — anything where fit matters. For accessories (belts, caps) the impact is more modest but still useful for styling.

Subscription or credits on VintyLook: which to choose?

• You post a few listings occasionally: 10 or 25 credits are enough.
• You post often: the €11.99/month subscription pays off, especially for custom models and early features.

How to avoid disputes after the sale?

Be transparent about condition, show defects, pack neatly, and keep a photo of the parcel. A realistic try-on photo reduces misunderstandings about fit, so fewer disputes.

Can I automate these scripts?

Not natively on Vinted, but you can keep them in your phone’s Notes app and paste them in two taps. Personally I have snippets: "still available?", "low offer", "bundle", "fit objection", "24/48h follow-up" ready to use.
