Looted goods from October 17 protests resold on Vinted and other platforms

midilibre.fr (French) —

Looted goods from October 17 protests are being resold on platforms like Vinted, with some sellers openly labeling items as stolen. Platforms have begun removing these listings. Many ads appeared offering luxury cosmetics and perfumes at steep discounts, sometimes in bulk lots. Some sellers explicitly mentioned "17 octobre" or "Pull volé pendant la manif" in listings, with one football jersey spotted with an anti-theft tag still attached. The Federation of Commerce and Distribution estimates 1,500 stores were affected by the violence, costing hundreds of millions of euros. Some buyers are now posting requests seeking "17 October products," while retailers remain in shock.
