Buying car boot sales selling ebay Videos

Thanks for your reply. I have been away for 18months in Australia still doing some buying  and selling but coming back this summer and hoping to pick it back up, couldn't remember postage prices! Think I will look into MyHermes though! Thanks :)

+xMissNicholex with Royal mail it is £2.80 to post up to 2kg 2nd class you have to add £1 for it to be signed for, I use MyHermes though mostly because that is tracked and insured up to £50 for £2.78 for 1kg and £3.78 for 2kg.

Don't you just hate aggro people at the sales, I was actually threatened once - I found a stall with a guy selling off his entire CD collection a few years back - I had made several stacks of ones I wanted and was going through the rest when another dealer came up and started picking up my stacks and taking CDs out - I politely pointed out that they were already spoken for and he just flew off the handle , I was met with a barrage of abuse which ended up with him saying 'watch your back when you leave, I'll be waiting…!! WTFNot sure if I will even get out to the sales tomorrow, as we are having a birthday party for my daughter in the afternoon (she will be 13!!!) and will have loads to do.. might try and squeeze an early one in… the season is rapidly coming to an end, the one I went to this morning was pathetic :(Good job I have an absolute ton of stock to see me through the lean times :)

Yeah trainers can be so good especially if you find the right ones, have done bootsales in other places but never come across the volume and quality that you do down here. There was one guy who actually wrestled a decent pair of Air Max off me this morning, yanked them out my hand, thought he obviously needs them more than me. Hopefully pick up a few more deals tomorrow. 

+Joe Crisp-Hihn At the moment i be working al weekend as working for CEX it get busy at the weekend i hate so much at least its money coming in though

No not really, if they have lots of games and are asking £2 each you might get 3 for £5 or 6 for £10, but rare that someone will have that many games you actually want. You can do deals with sellers the more you buy from them, but sometimes can end up almost buying stuff just for the sake of it. Did you go out this morning?

Sounds like a good idea, it's been a manic week for me :| sorting through my Playmobil every evening after work and all weekend. But it's all done and listed now so hopefully should start seeing the benefits of the time invested

+Ben Fitzpatrick got it listed incase it peaks anyones interest this Christmas, but in no hurry to sell it, the value won't go down! Hope your having a good week mate!

Joe what's your eBay name? I'm interested in a few things. thank you

Oh if they were worn that's good. With Nikes and adidas it's worth googling the label product code make sure shows the same pair of trainers in images as they are selling. Otherwise just Google how to spot fake..... And will show you everything. Some makes I don't touch because they are faked loads. I haven't brought trainers off fb simply because I have 100s and find it quite hit and miss,will need to have a look every now and then though.

+Joe Crisp-Hihn yes I know you have to be careful with fakes but I'm certain these are genuine and I did ask were they, I know people can lie but 3 pairs had been worn. I just usually look at the quality and labels,is there any tips you could give to make 100% sure? I know you have to be very careful with uggs.

Yeah the initial risk in the first £250 for 10 pairs once I realised they were selling brought them as and when I needed them, don't think I would have had the nerve to fork out £1000 in one go.

I have seen a few trainers on Facebook, but if they are new you have to be pretty careful because they are often fakes that people can't shift on EBay.

+Joe Crisp-Hihn Thanks that's really helpful !

+Maxime Clairet I have sold them without the headset no problem, just obviously make it known in the listing. Regarding the product keys I have always resold and not had a problem with the product keys being used on other machines, I'm not 100% sure about this but think they can be reused. There is sometimes some online content which has an activation code and I think that may only be able to be used once, but I am not at all certain about that. Sorry Can't be more help. £1 is fantastic, well done.

+Joe Crisp-Hihn Thanks! Might see if i can pick up a pair or two this weekend!

All BIN they would really struggle to sell at the prices I put them on at auction, have more control this way. If they don't sell in the first month I will knock them down £2 £3 £5 depending on how expensive they are and try for another month and keep trying until they sell. My listings are all Free P+P so thats about £3-£4 per pair of trainers. 

Hi Emily, yeah that would appear to make sense!

Games work shop used to own merp before going there on way i should know as rather getting drunk my mates use to play the merp games a lot

Boot sale is all year round New Years day, Christmas eve, pretty sure it doesn't stop for anything, obviously the weather affects turn out, but there will always be someone there!

I don't really have time to do out going videos, I work full time, I sometimes put what I have sold on the end of a haul video. Chose Ebay because sell a lot of clothes and trainers and people need to see photos. I could move my books, DVD, Games etc onto Amazon, but have found things doing well on Ebay so in no hurry to change. 

Glad to be a help!

(ormondy) was an auto correct for 'or Monday' lol

I have loads of them listed, they seem to be advertised at quite high prices, harder to actually shift thought!

Hi I try to avoid setting rules for how much I would pay for things, its about knowing individual values. As you know you see a copy of Conkers Bad Fur Day N64 for instance, I would pay anything up to £60 for it as have sold it for £90 in the past, but there are 100s of ps2 games I wouldnt pay 10p for. You have to look at the item individually. For instance £6.50 for a decent pair of Blazers is a good buy because the will sell for £25 as long as they are a decent size. Anything from a UK5 up. But just as long as they are blazers, there are other nikes, like court force which look a bit like blazers which arent worth as much.
