A woman has revealed how she snapped up a pair of designer shoes for a bargain and sold them for a whopping £115 profit.
Kat Lambert is a self-proclaimed “reselling expert”.
The 37-year-old has watched hours upon hours of authentication videos in a bid to scratch up her knowledge on what to look for when hitting the charity shops, scouring second hand websites or high street stores.

And it’s left her stumbling across some shocking gems; such as a pair of striking fluorescent pink designer heels.
The item, which retails for £1,072, was snapped up for just £25 in the TX Maxx yellow sticker sale.
Kat then re-listed them on Vinted and they were sold for £140.
“They were very different and I like to sell the ugly and unusual as my niche,” the reseller, from Bolton, told What’s The Jam.
“And I don’t pick up small sizes, only larger [ones].

“I did a quick Google in-store, saw the RRP and it was a no brainer.”
In a clip, which has racked up over 34,000 views and hundreds of likes, Kat shows the moment she stumbles across the stellar find.
She said: “I went to go and have a look at the yellow sticker sale as I hear so much about it and never bother.

“As you can see, there was pretty much nothing left except the most insane shoes you’ve ever seen.
“Fluorescent pink PVC block heels covered in crystals.”
Kat notes that a quick Google showed that the item, from designer Mach & Mach, would resale at anywhere between £150-£200.
Users have flocked to the comments to share their reactions to the incredible thrift.
“Hell yeah I would have picked them up! They’re so wild,” Louise said.
Michelle added: “Weirdly love these shoes.”
“I was just admiring those on your Vinted! Iconic,” someone else said, followed by a heart eyes emoji.
Another user said: “BOOM BABY! Love a TK find! I find a gorgeous pair of All Saints boots on sale for a ridiculous price in there once! Think it was my best find to date.”
“Some drag queen will want those beauts,” added Dee.
She said: “They sold within a couple of days on Vinted.
“I was super pleased with it as it was my first TX MAXX pick up.
“Yellow sticker sales are back now, so this is good timing.
“I’ll be back hunting for more soon.”
Kat previously snapped up a rare designer handbag for £3.50 from a charity shop before flogging it for £400.
She added: “A big tip when selling on Vinted – or anywhere else – is keywords.
“You can see from the title I used on the listing for the bag that they play a big part in getting your item sold.
“The brand name and colour description isn’t enough.
“Learn what to look for.
“It changes everything.”
