    Thank you so much for the videos! I recently saved some fighting fantasy books from a skip after seeing them on your videos. To my shock when researching them one is worth around £179. Sold the first one today for £10. I would never have saved them from the skip if it wasn’t for your videos thanks!

      It's great when that happens!! 🙂👍
      (Do you have a "free book box/exchange" in your area?? Where I live in Cornwall, they started doing that during COVID. There is one in my local bus shelter! I frequently look in there and have a pick through. Some unusual items. 🙂👍
      They also used to do - I expect they do still - "books for 50p for charity" shelves at local doctor's surgeries and church halls. But I haven't been out much since the pandemic.)

    The best thing is if you find something that someone doesn't 'think' is worth much, then selling to a collector or enthusiast who has it on their wish list!

    Well done, Nic. It's all about personal knowledge and being able to spot the 'gems' when you come across them. A great little video. It looks like Geff may be getting a few extra treats this week! Thanks, for the video! ;o).

    I found a Leica ! 'point and click' camera on one of the auction clearance guys at a car boot and paid £1 for it. Sold it for, I think, £175 but it was a few years ago so not 100% sure, around that anyway.

    Nice sales 👌 I did the same at a booter a few weeks back, picked up an olympus camera for £2, sold on ebay for £280 the week after... If you know what you are looking for it's easy money, just finding it

  • @elizabethlovelock9613

    I went to a boot sale and found a pair of Lalique menu holders, signed R Lalique, they were in perfect condition, when I asked the lady how much they were, she told me she wanted £5 as they were Lalique, snapped them up and when my daughter was getting engaged I sold them for £500, added a few bottles of champagne to the party.

    Hi Nic..never heard of Bakugan toys..mind you I retired at Easter so that explains the gap in my toy knowledge! I have been a Ebay reseller since 2007 & certainly now will spend on my hobby. I cannot walk past a charity shop coz you just dont know😁.My best flip some years ago was a classical cd fat box in a £30 job lot sold for £120 & this year a £1 book for £50..its addictive but agree ..certainly not for everyone@

    Fantastic margins, Nic, and great content!
    Thoroughly deserved too. As always, thank you for not only sharing your selling price, but also your buying price - very open and transparent (as you've always been).
    Keep up the great work, Nic and Andrea! You're both invaluable to the buying/selling community! Thoroughly appreciate your content. 👍
