Vinted ‘Cracker’ Listing Goes Viral After TikTok Dare, Draws Reported £30,000 Offers

No high-value sale occurred, with a £1 purchase later cancelled as the stunt mainly boosted traffic to the seller's other listings.

Overview

  • Hattie Carter, a Cambridgeshire social media manager, listed a single savoury cracker on Vinted after a challenge from her 10-year-old nephew.
  • She priced it at £1 after being unable to list for a penny and placed it under camera equipment with the description “one of one, cracker, delicious.”
  • Her TikTok post detailing the gag saw the listing generate roughly 7,000 views, about 600 favourites and hundreds of messages.
  • Reported bids reached £10,000 and £30,000, which Carter said were mostly jokes, and a brief £1 purchase was later cancelled.
  • The viral moment drove up views and favourites on her other Vinted items without resulting in any verified big-money sale.
