I work in luxury student housing & make cash selling designer buys people leave behind – I’ve rescued Gucci from the bin
A WOMAN has revealed some of the ‘insane’ items that she saved from being thrown in the bin at the luxury student accommodation where she worked, and said she makes cash from selling the unwanted belongings on Vinted.
Sally Sparks shared a list of her favourite things that she found during her two year stint at the job via a video posted to her TikTok channel.
She explained that every year, the rich tenants would move out of the accommodation, and would leave behind bags and bags of clothes, shoes and kitchen ware.
Sally, who is from Glasgow, said that she had permission to take the items, as they were all left on purpose by the students, who were mainly international, and couldn’t take all of them back to their home countries.
She said that she saved some of the items for herself, sent some to the charity shop, and sold other things on Vinted.
“I see it as a bonus for being underpaid”, she joked.
The 31 year old revealed that her “number one find” was a pair of stunning gold Louis Vuitton earrings, which retail for £295.
She also found a cosy looking North Face fleece, and said she was “so buzzing” when she realised it was her size.
Sally revealed that she rescued some £825 Balenciaga trainers from being chucked in the bin, that appeared to be in perfectly good condition.
She also found a Gucci bag, which had the strap broken, but said that she was able to get it fixed really easily.
Some of the other things that she found include a fluffy fleece with a bear on it that she said she wears “every day” and a House Of CB dress that still has the tags on.
She also rescued a Burberry coat that was still in the box and some Swarovski earrings.
“Insane things to abandon”, she said.
TikTok users raced to the comments section of Sally’s video, which was posted under the username @sallysparksx, to share their thoughts on her impressive haul.
One person said: “I might stop doing my degree and do this honestly.
“Those fleeces are so cool!”
Replying to this, Sally said: “Do both! a few people I worked with were working part time whilst studying!”
A second person said: “Some people have too much money to just be leaving stuff like that”.
A third said: “That’s just crazy”.
A fourth added: “Crazy what rich people leave/give away.
“I got brand new a $500 10ft rug for £30 because they changed their mind and didn’t want to send it back”.
