Hey guys great video god i wish it was sunday lol
It looks like a granny trolley for the 21st century
Great video thanks for sharing, Jo 😀
I recognise that first carboot. What carboot is it thanks?
hey nic would you be able to boost the audio levels a tad for next video ? i usually have videos on half volume and its fine but yours i have maxed out and its still abit quiet .. other than that great content
I love these videos.... but is it only me that finds him really heavy handed when going through peoples stuff? 😂
Little bit for sure
he is working one-handed, GoPro in the other hand
@@richylad I thought he had the camera attached to his clothing
£40 for the console alone and you haggled over £2.00!.. FFS!.
With any electronics it is a gamble if they are even working so price is key...
Nic & Andrea Hills Understandable mate. Loving the walk around though mate 👍🏻
Didn't he say £4 for that camera? Aww I feel bad for him forgetting what he'd said.
Yes. He originally offered the camera to Nic £4, then when it came to collecting the money he forgot what price he had said. Nic never offered to correct the guy when he said £2. I would of. Very dishonest of Nic on this occasion.
they should have reminded him, and paid the original asking price of £4. Big thumbs down for ripping the fella off, specially when it sells for £50+
@@2760db when the guy came back and said "what did I charge you for that £2 " Nic replied " sounds good " big thumbs down for this. When you are making yourself a good living you don't need to screw everyone down to the last penny and you certainly don't need to be dishonest. Nic should of edited this out really.
@@andrewbennett137 yes that was disgusting !!
I completely agree. Felt very awkward watching that and quite disappointed. Definitely taking advantage dishonestly 👎
"Good luck with that"....too funny.
Great footage....and I loved the way you inserted a blurb about the items...thank you!!
You know what I love most about your hunting videos? How polite and friendly all of the vendors are at the market. If it were any of the markets I went to the guy who was asking you about the camera would have been so belligerent and angry about it because you didn't have his permission to film. It's refreshing to see people acting like civilized human beings.
smashing video - well done for your bargains and good luck with the sales.
You got some good stuff. I love flea markets (boot sales). That's where about half of my inventory comes from.
I just love your video now you have me wanting to do it Thank you
Great videos Nic and Andrea! I did not realize that reselling online for a living was something many people in the UK did. Keep up the great work, from a USA subscriber!
I thought she said 4 for £1 on the CDs, then when i heard £4 a CD i nearly fell of my chair..!!! I cant wait to see your new car boot footage this season.
Bring it on April 18th.........
Always wanted to go to a boot sale... Thanks for taking me along
Great video! Just went to my first boot sale and watching your video was very insightful and helpful. How do you know what to pick up?
really enjoyed watching nik...i liked that u mentioned how much youll sell for
Great video,,,,, thank you for sharing 😊
Very nice info...and nice really big haul...inspired by you and have started to a resell but having storage problem with one bed flat🙁
After watching this video, I want to go to a car boot sale. Looks like fun. One problem, I live in Florida
Really good, love these videos.
Thanks Sue :0
I have a Built reusable cup I take on trips in car- they are metal and the liquid stays hot and fresh tasting for 6 hours- I wouldn't have believed it til I got one. They cost a tenner but worth it.
Great haul😊
Awesome video love from new Zealand ❤✅
Loved the foreigner and elp CDs, absolute bargain and just my sort of music -cd heaven! Well spotted!
Watching this channel for s bit now and I'm addicted, well done keep up the good work, I'm actually inspired by what your doing
Glad you are enjoying the videos...
Great video Nic 👍
Great video x
Good video but would have been nice to know what you eventually got for the whole lot and what you paid out in total?
These videos are the best when you go to carbootie
Nice to see a boot sale video 🙂
I passed my drivers test I can finally car boot! When I pay my insurance next week! Excellent booting footage your car boots seem a lot better than our locals most are traders and there people who buy the stuff cheap and sell it on there store for like £25 literally ☹️ same stuff every week to I went to Croft last went in July I now go to Coventry ones and mesham these days Croft carboot in the midlands has gone down hill
Oh wow congratulations!!
Great Vid, Love a live carboot venture. Those plates as soon as possible take those metal plate hangers off. So many a plate I have seen ruined by those nasty things.
Yes they have been removed :)
lol Andreas face when she sips her cold tea, nothing quite like the hope that the tea is still warm and finding it lukewarm.
Would love to know which boot sales these were, the ones around me expect to get retail for a their items!
Hey! Love the videos!! Just subbed 😊
Question- how would you suggest someone gets into finding out the resale price of the items before you buy them? Is it just from experience or do you compare before you buy?
Have a great day! From a Nottingham university student ❤️
Use the ebay app to search completed and sold items
It's great to see what you paid and what you expect to get right there on the screen.
These are good vlogs, nice to watch. I see some comments say your greedy, trouble is in this world we all have to make a pound or two just to stay ahead. So I think I will stick with the first comment, good vlogs, best of luck to you.
£4 for a CD? People that ask those sort of prices don't sell much. They end up taking most of it home, then bring it back the next week, then take it home....you get the idea 👍
Hi Nic and Andrea, another great and informative video. we've been listing for 10 days now got approx 130 listed with 14 sales under our belt, than yoi.
Question: We have an original working pokemon gameboy color CGB-001 with one Bugs Bunny crazy castle 4 game to sell with power pack etc, the battery cover is a replacement. Prices are quite bewildering for a novice...any idea what I should list it at? I promise no comebacks to you regarding any advice you have. We're just a bit befuddled with this one. cheers Alan and Michelle
Check eBay sold prices for same
I use ebay completed listings to judge what i think I can achieve, with video games there is a huge international market too so make sure to have international shipping on, then price as high as you think you can get. You can always come down over time if you don't get the sale
@@NicHills Cheers and thank you for your help.
Ive not done international shipping before, is it straightforward?
Also, weve now had 20 plus sales with a few more auction bids ongoing...we love it...dont think we'll be doing many more auctions though, much prefer buy it now. Have a great weekend Alan and Michelle
loved this!! can you do a video on how you photograph items for ebay ect ?
If people are happy to sell their gear for cheap then its fair to buy it and sell it on. You have inspired me to get selling some of my bits lying around. Porridge for 50p, and sealed!! Bargain
i like the caption subtitles , bought for £1 , should sell for £50 on whichever platform
Hi, please could you let me know where this carboot is? Thank you
What time did you arrive at the first boot sale?
hi im after some advice i watch you alot ive just started trying to sell toys on ebay but not sure on what is best to buy and how much to pay to make a proffit
ok, who looked at their phones at 6:12?
Was it a vacuum you bought for £3? I thought it looked like a wallpaper stripper/steamer?
I love finding those olympus cameras, everyone over looks old 35mm cameras and I can pick up 2 or 3 different ones a week that are worth £20+ each. Surprisingly good money in those.
eBay kerchings at a carboot stall or charity shop are so awkward!
I set my phone to silent when I'm at carboot sales - not that it ever goes off anyway hehe
U missed a g tech multi where you got the books from. They go for over 50 on ebay
I love ur video. Plz suggest me some cheapest car boot sale around london i.e. kent
top Tv celebrity Jack Dee comes to our local car boot, he collects planet of the apes memorabilia, trouble is nobody ever has any ( I dont even think they ever made any ) so he just stomps off like a teenager and looks through the cassette tapes instead muttering under his breath :-(
Does make me wonder how the extortionate prices for some items turn out. Makes me think if they actually sell
prices shown in the video are based on actual sold items on ebay or amazon - take a look at these for an example www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=thrasher%20jurassic%20park&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684
Are cassette tapes valuable now, wonder if that Marc Bolan record would have been any good, I’d have picked that up but I haven’t got a clue ha ha. A really interesting video thanks for taking us with you
tapes have made a comeback - most are not big money but bundles sell well, I rarely buy vinyl...
I'm amazed at how empty of buyers the boot sales you go to are. Round me they are rammed with buyers, one the other weekend near me must have had 3 - 400+ people queueing just to get into a fairly small car boot a lot smaller than the first one on the video.
On a plus note, managed to get a Crumpler and Alienware laptop bag at an general sale auction for £2, made about £90 before fees/postage - guess people didn't know what they were, I was gobsmacked to only pay that.
Great video, but it's having the knowledge about things which will sell. As I've usually sold clothes and accessories, I have knowledge about those but I want to branch out so need to learn. As retail shops can sell so cheaply now, there are not many opportunities to get cheap stuff sufficient to make profit. However, with the right knowledge obviously you're half way there. My current stock comes mainly from charity shops but nowadays even they aren't as cheap as they were. My job takes me around the country and the more affluent area charity shops always charge more.
£4 a cd no way. Great footage once again. Nice to see the barganing skills. Wonder if you sold any of the items in this video.
Peter Wray's Adventure's 😂 it’s a joke for 4 quid
@@jackstamford9937 Some poeople selling have more sense than value of money.
£4 for a CD! Ha! I like to get them at 50p tho sometimes I'll go to a £1 if a bit rarer! Superb video.
What we're the names of the carboots? Must have missed it 👍
and have you got a link to your eBay page
New sub here as well.
D'ya know i used to enjoy car boots before the internet arrived, when people bought things they actually wanted, rather than just to sell on for profit as is the case now. Seems another great pastime has been ruined by technology.
*Ruined by capitalism.
Lovely pessimism. People still buy things they actually want, and nothing has been "ruined", as you put it. It must be a very small percentage of people, who go to boot sales, are running eBay businesses. If that was really the case, and people were going just to acquire 'stock', then surely car boot sales as a whole would be defunct, as the people selling the 'stock' from the car boots, would themselves just be listing it on eBay. Your statement if somewhat an oxymoron. People, such as myself, will go to car boot sales for the same reason you did 'back in the good ol' days' before the internet; to look for bargain records, or militaria , or an old VHS player, or a meat slicer from the 70's. Whatever you see that tickles your fancy.
What's wrong with buying stuff from a car boot to sell on anyway? One man's trash is another man's treasure and all that jazz. Be happy. The modern world's not as bad as what you may think.
@@KingRizlaa Utter garbage. I'd go to boots in early 90's at 6am and there were only a hand full of people there. Post internet/E'bay there's now plenty of people there at 6am, many of which are dealers grabbing resalable stuff for their market stall/E'bay listings, anything for an extra quid. Also know it to be true as i have spoken to many of these dealers. It's why when on the odd occasion that i have actually sold on a boot, i don't set my stall up until 9am, after all the dealers have basically got what they want and gone.
Is that second boot sale Upshire?
Do you reccord your whole life 😂 yes yes I do nic reccords him sleeping too what a vid that would be 😂
Used to love doing the boots down south, we made a pretty good living at it. Then we moved to Lincolnshire - bad move, space cadet! There are loads of boots on every day in the summer but pickings are much, much thinner. I think the difference is that people down south are much wealthier and when they do car boots when they want to get rid of stuff. Up here most seem to do it to make money. If you can find anything decent they will be asking the price of the most expensive example they can find on ebay. Of course the problem there is they never look at sold prices, only asking prices. As an example when we moved 8 years ago a guy had a JVC cd changer for a car, he was asking 45 quid for it. Three years later he still had it and was still asking the same for it. I suspect he still has it :-) We used to see him at 2 or 3 boots a week and always used to check, it became a long running joke. Yup, I really miss the big boots down south, we always used to come away with a car load of bargains.
Nic: does the dinosaur go with that? Seller: No but you can have it anyway Got to love the barter, don't ask don't get! Good content!
I didn't actually want the other bit... left it behind as it didn't go with the figure
Yeah would help if you say where the boot sales are.
Hi Nic &Andrea. I subscribe to garage flips & resalerabbit. So get the occasional suggested video, this was one of them... I was delighted to see you trawling my local car boot, and was here last Sunday probably after you’d nabbed all your loot. I’ve stalked online you a bit in the last hour :D. and see you’re in Hitchn. I’ll keep an eye out for you in the local charity shops... great videos by the way, Consider yourselves subscribed 👍🏼
Cheers, Neil😃.
Thanks Neil :)
holly crap this seems quite abit of work.going to carboot then selling them on ebay.would rather do over time at my job and get 200 quid for 6 hours of work and not doing much either lol good video though
If you are happy in your job then you have got it made, we chose this lifestyle to be independent and stress free but it is not for everyone, thanks for the message.
Where is this car boot. If can I ask...?? Looks nice...
I heard that ebay ranks your listings higher if you offer free postage, but I see you charge for postage on your ebay listings. Could you explain why please :)
I enjoyed the video, the little slides to show the expected sale price of each item is a good idea, thank you
We have experimented with both (and still do) but have seen very little difference
@@NicHills thank you for answering!
Good luck
Them geese!!
I picked up a load of vintage games for £1 each earlier !!! Bargain
Where are this car boot sale
Where is this please?
Just thinking it’s a risk when you buy electrical items.
where is thus car boot sale?
£4 each for a CD, no disrespect to the woman but you can buy them brand new for less than that it’s crazy pricing
I swear the guy that sold the camera to you was Steven Segal :)
dont you mean booth, a car boot you put around the car tire till you pay your parking fine.
In the UK the trunk of a car is called the boot.
Someone (who’s not a reseller) who wants that CD would pay £4, just the same as they’d pay £5 for it from a reseller on eBay/Amazon
ArtJourneyUK I highly doubt it. People go to bootfairs for bargain. Not shop prices. I bet that woman didn’t sell any CDs that day.
Dr D-PAD does depend on the area. Some people treat bootfairs like markets and are happy to buy almost retail. If the CD is worth picking up for £1 to resell, it’s worth £4 to someone else. At the end of the day, stuff is only worth what someone else will pay for it.
Do they sell on eBay or amazon ?
both
Nic & Andrea Hills thanks does eBay normally do better ?
Hi i have a quick question. Do you do tracking for everything you sell?
In reply to all the comments about the camera, this is partly why Nic is successful at what he does and I would imagine that there are some weeks where a few pounds add up and are needed and can make a big difference, also don't forget that if you have a price tag of 50p or just a few pounds you are basically thinking you are piling your tat off on other people and it holds no real value to you, also If you are selling something and you can't remember your pricing, that is no one else's fault except your own.
Hi Nic and Andrea! Loved virtually going around the boot sale with you. May I ask if you prefer boot sales to charity shops for your items and if so why? :)
Car boot sales - so much stuff in one place, would take a week to find a car full of stock in charity shops
I need to seek out more boot sales then! :)
£4 for CD's, havin a laugh
I think you and your wife are great and I love your videos. But I don’t like you persisting offering £10 when the gentleman only wants 12 for something I’m going to get at least 4O Pounds for
Nic is you use Facebook check out The Retro Realm for all things gaming etc, you can buy and sell on there for no fees, advice on stuff and valuations etc
damn you should of given the guy the extra 2 quid...you are already making a nice margin from him
Which City you two from ?
Hitchin
Albeit a chilly morning there, it was really interesting to watch the whole process; folks are so polite. Looking forward to experiencing "car booting" when we come over from the States next year. Thanks for taking us along!
£40 for the nothing fancy Gameboy Colour console? You'll be lucky I barely get that for Special Edition Pikachu GBC
That will go into Amazon - Ive sold them for that price and higher on Amazon FBA before...
Great video, loved how you edited in what you were hoping/getting for the stuff you picked up, really liked that aspect! Thanks 👍
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Page 53 Wand Twice, giving it away for 50p funny if it was.
You never know...
Found Prisoner of Azkaban 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1" and a block of misaligned text on page seven at a charity shop yesterday. Someone had put Happy Birthday to someone on it. Told the store manager to sell it may get more with it be a charity.
Looks like Yoevil in Dorset.
yeovil is in somerset
here from 2023 🙂
Bring lot to council tip
40 for a gb colour are you mad?
Your'e ruthless at the car boot Nic, lol. I know he should have remembered the price but you knew it was a bargain at £4, so I would have paid that. Id be scared of the bad karma to be honest, like the next month being baron at the car boots and charity shops as a result.
Yes, I agree, that was bad form. Between, filming, talking to the guy, and scanning the table to see what else he had I didn't really take it in, but after watching it back I should have paid the 4 you are right, if he is there next week I will go and make it up to him....
@@NicHills yeah it happens. I had a pick up from a house once and i was chatting to the mum of some kids for a couple of minutes, I paid her the money and left. I got a message from her the next day saying I had only paid £20 of the £30 I owed her and could I come back tomorrow and drop her the £10. My initial thought was she should have checked the money there and then, and maybe she could be lying. But I went back and dropped the money through the letter box when I was next in town. I definitely check the money now before I give it to people, as its easy to get distracted. You do seem in the profit zone at carboots, don't want to get in your way. haha!
@@bargainbuster440 it is really playing on my mind now....! Hope he is there next week...
@@NicHills if hes not there £2 in a charity box will recompense the Gods of Tat, lol. They can be fickle bunch and need to be adhered to, haha. I think people who watch the channel regularly know you'e not a robber re seller though, a lowballer maybe but that comes with the territory ;) haha. Keep up the good work with the channel, keeps me motivated when listing.
As Lennon said "Instant karma's gonna get you" 😀 Why are those cameras worth so much?
£4 a CD 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤣🤣
Yeah, not going to happen...
@@NicHills Those CDs were priced to NOT sell, LOL.
Nick! You passed on the Poop Plush? That was an easy $25-$30
No Andrea picked it up
@@NicHills Oh cool! Hello from Detroit, Michigan, USA. You guys helped influence me to start reselling on eBay. So far so good. Thank you for the help and advice you provide in your channel
@@repete1974 That's great, so happy we have helped to inspire you...
You are very aggressive when your looking for stuff and rush
QUESTION - When I walk around my bootsales and get chatting to other 'resellers' 90% of them know you and watch your vids. When you walk around at yours do you not literally keep getting stopped etc by people? So many people must know you or recognise you?
We bump into subscribers quite often now, yes.
