Love your videos man!! Can’t help but notice all your local charity shops in your videos are mine too! You just be a Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire lad!! Keep it up though pal you have a much better eye for it than I do 🥹😭😂
Yes I’m pretty much in the middle of both counties 😂 thanks for watching!
Another great video Pete but charity seems getting expensive nowadays and difficult to find a bargain.
Thank you for watching! They are getting expensive but i believe there’s always stuff to find!
Enjoying watching your videos entertaining and also informative, just a wee note why don't you put your links to your ebay and Vinted etc as you get some great views and they could be interested in buying something they see..anyway looking forward to the next video. Stay safe and well
I do have my eBay link in the description but I should put up the rest you are right 😂
The locked up comment made me laugh. I’m a housing officer and get exceedingly nervous when someone says to me “do you remember me” (as happened in a Indian restaurant not so long ago. I then have to quickly rack my brains to figure out if I’ve evicted them, taken them to court…or other stuff in order to figure out if I need to make a quick exit! 😅Thankfully in the recent case it was someone I went out of my way to help. Phew! Must give up this day job! 😂
😂😂 that phrase “do you remember me” will always haunt me! Thanks for watching!
Do you sell on vinted?? Would you say it takes alot longer to make a sale on there regardless of the item?? I find I do make sales but they are items I have to bump and reduce in price.
I think things on there can sell well but the customer traffic isn’t as much as eBay, but I think if you put a lot effort into it,you will see results
After 12 months of Ebay selling I got my first negative feedback this week. Reason - Covid facemask in an inside pocket. Obviously my bad for missing it but not sure it was worthy of losing my 100% positive feedback!
I'm all good as never followed the agenda
Pretty poor reason! I’m pretty sure I’ve missed stuff
Just found your stuff dude and loving it. Entertaining and informative.
Cheers mate! I really appreciate it
Dublin Ireland, our charity shops are having a field day with the amount of itams they receive. They pick and choose only the best and want it delivert to their shop's. The prices the charge are not far of the origanal price tag, I kid you not. Ordinary Wall picture's start at 50 euro old suites of
furniture 275 euro, on and on. How could a family that was on low income and were trying to start a little home together. They wouldn't see any charity in those shops. Money mad their gone. Profits that's all they care about. If you donated say a suite of furniture today come back to that shop tomorrow try get a little discount on a itam, you would be told no discounts. It left a bitter taste.
That’s crazy! It’s a shame because they could sell a whole lot more and get the profits they want!
Sorry I never comment Hey hey 👋😊
Hey! Thank you for supporting the channel!
Hi!
Quality channel. Just come across it and at times like this, your channel will help others to think out the box when saving, finding bargains and more without compromising on style! Fairplay mate and subscribed!
Thank you mate! Really appreciate that! It’s hard living nowadays, stuff like this, makes it a bit easier!
What's the best way you find to get stock out the door that hasn't sold like you thought it would , lower price or do auction on it ? Should do a video on stuff that takes ages to sell 💪
That’s a good question
It’s a good question. I think it all starts from what you are picking up in the first place. I always check if there is a market for the things I pick up, that’s why you see me leave things which everyone else would pick up because I know it may just sit for a long time.
Things sometimes still don’t sell though, so I tend to auction them off or, something I haven’t done yet, sell them at the carboot!
Vintage slippers go for decent money weirdly, those are more house shoes, that’s how they used to be. I hear you on the recognising a previous customer out in the wild! 👮
They should do pretty well I think! I’ll update my keywords as well! When I first started I used to work in the same place I lived, not fun at all! 😂
I've found plenty but it's definitely getting harder with their crazy prices 🤪
Yes mate for definite!
I would definitely say that while charity shops can be a good source of a bargain, you'll get both better items and prices at car boot sales - people actually getting money for their stuff rather than donating it, but also people wanting to get rid of their old stuff for a little bit of money rather than going to a dump.
I agree to an extent. It will always be the case of a lot of rich people donating to charity shops than doing a boot sale. Some of the stuff I've found in a charity shop would never get seen at a boot sale. Today in a charity shop I picked up a Salvatore Ferragamo linen suit, missoni shirt, Gucci striped shirt. Nothing of this standard has been at a boot sale with working class folk selling obviously.
I agree! It’s a shame not all boots stay open all year round
also the ability to haggle for a lower price at boots
Eboot in Birmingham stay open all year round
Uncle knob head slip ons 😅
😂😂😂
Back to sutton i see. My hometown me and Mrs had a look the other day in those charity shops on outram Street, didn't find much. Love your videos.
Found a few pretty green shirts ( two beatles ones) in one on outram Street sold them for £35 each within 3 days
Another great video Pete, I fall in and out of love with charity shop hunting, mainly because most quality items are priced so high, however your video just inspired me to head out to my local shops and I picked up a brand new pair of Steve McQueen trainers for £10! The "grails" are still out there people!
You just have to dig for it! I agree!
@@Chaddypete You guys are amazing, what funny and very business balanced at the same time , what a find I’ve watched almost all you uploads back to back. I live in Yorkshire , lost my job last we have two boys and need a change and work funds asap.
Your advice is so appreciated and I’m really excited. What should I prepare myself for before venturing out, I’m ex forces / your ex police - prison service I think so we’re both very disciplined and I get up at 4am everyday run , WWS or train out my MMA . By 6am I’m buzzing ready for anything.
I teach Wing chun private 1-1s so doing this around it be amazing.
Thank you for amazing advice. Stay well
Is it a rule the posh areas have better items or not? I’m mapping out from York, Leeds, Sheffield etc then Googling charity shops in each town is that right way forward. I’ve ordered some lights like yours and a good classy coat hanger. I feel good about this as 2 years ago I went to a Oxfam in a nice area and a brand new north face gortex £365 was on the rack, I paid £12. Any advice please 🙏 Gav and Debs
You can indeed! I found a Marni shirt for 4 quid and a genuine pair of stone islands for a fiver recently in local charity shops, some nice Pelle Pelle jeans too, just need to be in the right place at the right time
100%
The shops are always swapping stock round, there’s bound to be something!
Great Video guys as usual (And new addition)
It goes to show that you can pick up goodies anywhere as long as your willing to do the looking :)
Thank you mate!
Thanks for the video. I bought coat from a charity shop 2 weeks ago for £5. There was a couple of tissues in the pockets but also a little poly bag with £20 in old notes. Got it changed at the bank. 🤑😁
Ooooffttt nice one!
I’m still waiting 😂😭
cool
That long awkward wave at the end after your daughter had been picking her nose 😂😂😂
🤣🤣
It’s what it’s all about 😂
Tissues & masks in the pocket, found a tissue in a pair of trousers I picked up last weekend 🤢🤮
😂😂😂
Lola crossing herself to ward off the manky snotrag energy was truly moving :D
😂😂😂 the only way!
😂😂 I’m glad someone appreciated that!
another great video. love it when i see that " i am seriously underwhelmed with that item " look from lola as it makes me feel i am not alone. i am a sensitive type and i get a bit upset when my wife gives me that look although i like to tell her " i told you so " when i sell said item on down the line for a profit.
😂😂 he always proves me wrong haha. I’m a novice.
The Balenciaga shirt is real and looks like it’s from when Alexander wang was in charge 2012-2015 ish. When demna took over menswear and when the brand regot it’s hype all the tags changed from white to black for menswear. Nice find
Thank you mate! Always appreciate the knowledge!
Still got an ancient Polo from "Georgio Local Boyz" Falling to pieces now but Iirc I got it in the Mid/Late eighties?
Yeah sounds about right. I’d never heard of it before then.
Gonna get out charity shopping in the next couple of days. Just started Uni and need a little bit of extra money, hopefully with your knowledge and advice I can make this work :D
I know you can do it 🔥
Lovely family shot/snot at the end ☺
🤣🤣🤣
Great haul and lovely items,thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you
eeurgh...tissues in pockets, going in unprotected...😂🤣. Nice finds, thanks for the tips and tricks😃
😂😂thanks for watching!
I’ve not had a tissue on the pocket yet 🤔. I’ve had a pair of worn pants in there not sure which is worse
🤢🤢 they might sell at a good price to the right person 🤣🤣
You never know now days?! I felt a little violated for a few days after though 🤢🤮
😂😂😂
Another banging haul from your charity shops..The bargains are still there hidden amongst the overpriced high street brands..
I had what is probably my best pick up to date today... Randomly flicking through some records and found a 12inch of "So Rotton" by Blak Twang.. nothing special in itself normally, but this happened to be the Banksy designed cover.. There's some crazy prices on these from anywhere between £400 - £500!! Not bad for the £1 I paid.. 😁
Well spotted 👏🏻 I’ve collected majority of Banksy designed records & CDs….and re-sold some of my surplus ones.
I honestly almost missed it but something, somewhere, in my head gave me a nudge and told me to check it.. so glad I did!
Very nice! I honestly believe there is always at least one thing in each charity shop on any given day. You just have to be happy to dig for it or learn more stuff to recognise it!
@@Chaddypete 100% agree. I've got a really good relationship with my local shops and they are happy to put things to one side for me too, as well as letting me rummage around out the back, so that always helps getting the good bits.
Did she get that bogey? Should have given her that tissue 🤮🤮🤮🤮 hate it when that happens 🤧🤧🤧
😂😂😂 proper treasure hunter!
🤣🤣🤣
Lols so much fuss over a tissue
If you are willing to answer. Roughly, how reliant are you on charity shops / car boots for your business compared to other sources of stock in percentage ? Like 60% reliant on charity shops 20% car boot 20% wholesale or whatever
I would say 60% carboot and 40% charity shop until the booting season ends. Then it’s back to the charity shops. Pete doesn’t tend to buy from wholesalers
@@loladanielle thank you. See there isn’t really any boot sales in Scotland you have them all in the Sourh
SI jeans were 100% fake, moody as. Good swerve that Pal 👍🏻
Yeah I thought so, just seemed off! Thanks mate
@@Chaddypete as an ex wanna be football thug (and a pretty shit one at that), its my specialist subject!
You NEED Lola with you! 😉🙂🙂
Very kind of you to say. Thank you 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
True!
Hello mate, thanks for all the info and your videos, i have a question, is it better to have an ebay store, rather than my personal ebay account. Does it save you money? is there less fees? Many Thanks
There are advantages to having a shop more than a personal account
Great video, but your daughter stole the show…..so adorable 🥰
Even those nose picking? Haha. Thank you for watching ❤️
Thank you!
Brown on brown 🤣🤣🤣
Did you walk out of the shop without paying for the belt lol. I guess you could call that pure profit 😂
BTW, as you were wondering about FCUK, I once worked for a guy called Trevor Beattie, he came up with 'FCUK' as an advertising campaign for French connection. It was so popular they rebranded the stores as FCUK and started selling it on clothes. It helped turn the business around. Obviously over the years the stores that are left have now gone back to being called French connection.
I’m Pretty sure I paid for it 😂 that’s really interesting! That campaign was genius, it definitely stood out!
@Nicky L That's true. Short term it worked well. As an ad campaign it was very effective. It was only meant to get them noticed and be a bit edgy but instead of leaving just as advertising, they went and rebranded and sold clothing as FCUK as well. People started to see it as tacky/ a one trick pony and nobody wanted to buy expensive clothes which were basically just a short lived trend.
this video has taught me to never go straight for the pockets
It’s a dangerous game. Go in gloved 😂
It’s the best bit 😂
Have you been stung with really good fakes? Sometimes I worry that some items sound too good to be true
I have a couple times but I was wishful thinking with some of the stuff!
14:59 Eric Clapton Crossroads boxset goes for about £35-£40 if its in a good condition
I’ll have to go back!😂
Bogies
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
The chains are definitely taking all the good stuff out now. It's just so time consuming going to the independent charity shops
Yeah it’s true, I believe there is a lot left though to go around and I just like venturing 😂
BHF always avoided lol
I am absolutely hooked on these weekly videos. Great stuff!!
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoy them!
@@Chaddypete I am crap at clothing items, but like to think 🤔 I smash it on everything else! Never London way can show you around my local charity shops!
Amazing so so helpful
Hi what town are you shopping in this video
It’s Sutton in Ashfield mate
I was cooking while watching this video chaddy gave me bare jokes you was on top form , might try and stab me lol 😆 The dread of putting your hand in them pockets 😅
😂😂 the life of a reseller
The only time dipping in those pockets was a good , when I found £20 in a pair of Jeans I paid 99p for WINNING 🤣🤣🤣🥳🥳🥳
100% I have all the luxury labels in my wardrobe from head to toe and I love wearing them lol thumbs up
Burn that balenciaga shirt
I agree
Covid masks, tissues, old receipts, lottery tickets (no winners unfortunately) and betting slips; I've found them all in bought items, but I haven't found any money yet!
I do prefer boot sales on the whole as charity shops require lots of perseverance to find stuff worth picking up. They're all a lot of people have come the autumn/winter months too (out of car boot season) but there are still bargains out there. My top tip is don't get your hopes up too much and not to worry about coming home empty handed; it happens to us all!
Appreciate that mate thank you!
Nice pick ups mate, literally said to myself I've got to tell him to whack on a bit of "Surfing with the alien" and then it came 👌
😂😂😂 I liked it!
subbed you cheers pal
Really appreciate that! Thank you!
Corker! Nice one chadwan
Cheers bro! Always appreciate it!
Cracking Video as Always!. I Believe those Stone Island Jeans were Legit 🔥🔥🔥
They probably could’ve been but they were a bit out of the budget! I’m sure someone would pick it up!
Cant make any profit from Charity shops prices 😞
Have you ever done a kilo fair mate? Think most things end up owing me about £5.50 after. Got a genuine Burberry Black Label shirt from my last one that covered the lot 👍 worth a bash
I’ve only done one but I enjoyed! I need to go to one again!
Hi Pete, I live in Wiltshire and charity shops down here advertise for “an eBay researcher position”!!
That makes reselling from them almost impossible 😢
There’s quite a few shops up here like that. I’ve found they don’t always check everything as they have so much stuff to get out, it may seem daunting but I still find stuff in those places
Ewww, tissues in pockets! 🤧🤣
🤢🤢🤢
@@loladanielle 😷
If they told me this is how it would be, I would’ve never left the job 😂
@@Chaddypete ha, ha 🤣
Damn didn't know those ysl shirts banged like that. I've copped a y2k ysl yves saint laurent spell out the other day for 3 quid, how much do u think it would go for?
They go for around 40-50 if you are happy to wait long enough!
That Lacoste jacket is pretty sweet. Wasn't aware that "Harrington" was a swear word on eBay! I'm sure I've listed some Baracuta jackets using that title.
I don’t think they even know if it’s allowed or not! It’s funny you say about Baracuta as apparently they have the rights to the word now
stoney jeans defo snides 🤣
Great video. Restored my faith in charity shops. Can you tell me what the app is you are using to check prices ?
Thanks for watching. I use the eBay app to check most things
Unfortunately charity shops in London are so expensive, No bargains down here for us Londoners!
I need to come down one of these days!
I love shopping at my local ladies consignment shop and I am usually lucky enough to find used tissues in coat pockets and purses. Yuck. Love the video you find several nice items.
Thank you for watching!
Picked up that stripey fleece at 4:39 when I was in that air ambulance superstore last week, but eventually decided against it! The unbranded put me off, but hope it does well for you! Where is that first shop you went to? Assume it's local to me if you were nearby the air ambulance store
I think it could’ve sold, but it would probably sit for a while!
I got some billionaire boys club tracksuit bottoms for £3.50 the other day my best find by far
That’s the one! I found a jacket once but it had a big hole in it 😂
princess Di our true queen
Stone island jeans were 100% fake would’ve been a mint find
Shame! I’ve only found vintage ones in the past!
Great pickups pete and great video so in😆😁formative
Thank you for watching!
I recommend you pick some tennis rackets up, some of them go for quite abit
I’ll keep an eye out! I’ve never really looked into them before!
Depends where you going London prices are retail
The good thing about London is you find a lot more rare brands, so sometimes, even though the price is higher you can still find the profit
When you wanna go to bed classy...had me in stitches
😂😂😂
The tissue thing is real amazing tho how happy we are when we find 10 quid notes 😆
I’m still waiting 😭😂
You guys are amazing, what funny and very business balanced at the same time , what a find I’ve watched almost all you uploads back to back. I live in Yorkshire , lost my job last we have two boys and need a change and work funds asap.

thanks for your support, I really appreciate it. I feel your past experience would do you very well as I feel one of the most important skills to have in this game is, attention to detail and persistence!
There’s not a lot of advice I can give really, it’s more about getting out there and just building knowledge over time. Even it’s just doing some research in down time, it all helps! Thanks again!
Thank you starting tomorrow mapped out a few and give a try, looks like you only use eBay is that the best medium or Gum tree or Vinted? Be great if I use one as eBay I have 20 years at 100%. My wife is a great administrator so I’m guessing like you , you go and source and your wife loads it up ?
Great video , you finding the good stuff
😂 cheers mate!
Chelsea jacket at 17 min you left mate?
Yeah they priced it quite high for what it was
Handkerchiefs, tissue in pockets and 5p once 😆
😂😂 that’s the life!
Did you say Green Street 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yep 😂😂
Hey good morning 🙏 just found your page and I'm hooked 😅 Xmas coming up with 5 kids so going to give this a go, thankyou 😊 can I ask if you always list at buy it now prices or do you put in auction please? Roll on 9am when they open and bed time when I can watch you guys again 🖤
Thank you for watching! I normally use buy it now as auctions don’t really get you the best price anymore unless it’s something special!
@@Chaddypete great thankyou that's what I did. Went out yesterday and spent just over £100 and if so goes well should make £260 profit 😃😃😃 just parked up in another town to try my luck here. Thankyou again and will continue watching, you've really inspired and hopefully helped me out of a difficult time
Solid video as always. Do you ever use .CSV files to upload your listings on eBay? I've started using them as I sell mostly in single categories and it's massively sped up my listing time.
I’ve never really used it before, it would probably save me a lot of time!
@@Chaddypete there is a guy on here called SamsonTV who has it down to an art for clothing. I used a step by step video series by a user called Annie to learn it. Worth checking out especially if you want to list lots of lower value items that always seem build up.
Great post as usual I thought Harrington was a style not a brand I think the name came from a character in the old US tv programme Peyton Place who wore that type of jacket when they first became popular in the late sixties early seventies.
You are right, Baracuta bought the rights to it apparently
@@Chaddypete The character was played by Richard Chamberlain who went on to play Dr Kildare in a later soap opera and was a bit of a heart throb!! Ask a granny!
Yeah, but the most important thing is did you find any compare the meerkat teddy’s? Heard there hard come by…..
I remember seeing them everywhere!
They still are everywhere mate.
I learn alot from you so thank you
I’m glad it’s helping you out!
Great content as usual TBF!
Thank you mate!
the tissue in the pocket hhahaha
😂😂😂
Haha cracking video mate, aye the snot rags are a drag like the dirty sods lol
😂😂 it’s just one of the hazards of the job!
That it is bro. Have a goodn
Awesome video as always!
Thank you mate!
Where do you search stock outside of charity shops and car boots bro ?
Online sometimes, auctions stuff like that
@@Chaddypete okay kwl , appreciate the reply bro
Great vid!
Thank you!
Stussy is a brand you should keep an eye open for as they always sell well on ebay.
Great surf/skate brand when you can find it. For sure!
@@loladanielle mambo is another surf brand to look out for,the loud button up shirts.
I found a t shirt once and sold it for about £70! Still looking for the shirts though!
