IN the New Year quite a few of us may find our purses to be a little bare after all the Christmas shopping.
And in the current cost of living crisis, many of us find ourselves looking for ways to make extra money.
Side hustles have seen a huge increase in the past couple of years with sites like eBay and Vinted providing easy and accessible communication between seller and buyer.
But whilst many of us think Vinted is a simple site to get rid of old clothes one woman is proving you can actually make a lot of money if you are smart about what you sell.
