Brave new idea. Well done and wishing you good luck with it. Yours is one of the most efficient reselling setups that I can even imagine. Very best wishes, Roger.
Thank you Roger, I do appreciate the kind words and support, I think you may be right in regards to being brave, day 2 being filmed now, hope you have a great day, Simon
Yo Si-Dog, Haymaker here. Good to see you doing well and enjoy watching the vids. I wasn’t going to comment but the coffee bit early doors got me 😆. Catch up for said coffee (or beer if later in the day) sometime soon. Cheers.
Yoooo Chris, How are you buddy, hope life is treating you well, long time no speak, yes more than happy for Coffee or a beer at some point. hope you and the family are all good as well, thanks for the support I do appreciate it. Have a great week, Si Dog
Yes all good here too thanks. Been in my ‘new job’ since May 2022 and loving it. Have your number saved so will drop you a message on there assuming you haven’t changed it?
Stopped doing clothing as I was fed up of being a rental service
Thanks for watching, appreciate the comment, can I ask what you sell now instead of clothing. Hope you have a great week, Simon
3 sweeteners is a shocker Simon! Nice to see the setup so used to just seeing behind you! Keep inspiring my friend
Thank you James appreciate the kind words even being called out with the sweeteners 😂😂 have a great day Simon
Always love your videos Simon, so informative and interesting. Can't wait for the rest of the week 😁
Thank you so much for the very kind words glad to hear you are enjoying the content.
Have a great week Simon
Tech is the GOAT and very inspiring to listen to and emulate, but there are differences between reselling there and here . For example, the quantity of clothing readily available in the US vs the UK! Perhaps we need a UK Tech; Simon?! Looking forward to more videos, all the best, Tim
Hi Tim, thank again for taking the time to watch and comment. You are spot on there are definitely major differences between us and the states. Availability of stock is absolutely the biggest difference. The technical advise from the group is amazing and also having a dedicated UK call as well is so helpful.
Hope you have a great day
Simon
Thanks for this awesome video, Simon! BTW, your dog is a cutie!! 🥰
Thanks Dana, hope you are well and got over the vacation x
excellent video Simon, pleased to hear there will be more.
Thank you so much, glad to hear you are enjoying. Hope you have a great week

I like the idea of having the camera on a lanyard . Can see that saving a bit of time - especially the amount of time I spend looking for it.
Thanks for watching, yes a lanyard is definitely a great upgrade and very cheap as well.
Do you use a dedicated camera as well.
Simon
You know when you made on TH-cam when you do the coffee video, Great Video mate
Thanks Lee, appreciate the kind words, just got to keep it going now, another coffee clip on its way 😂😂😂 have a great day Simon
Technsports is amazing and I’m not even a business reseller - yet 😊. He’s so inspiring.
I 100% agree he is most definitely the GOAT, thanks for watching
Have a great week Simon
Hi Simon, loving the videos. Where did you get that Plaid fleece jacket. The one you are wearing? Was it a charity shop find? Zara
Hi Zara, thanks for watching.
I appreciate it, the fleece Overshirt is made by H&M and I got it off Vinted, hope that helps
Have a great week, Simon
This is excellent.
Thank you so much, glad you are enjoying. Have an awesome week Simon
Can I ask what camera you use please, love the videos by the way!!
Thank you so much for the kind words I do appreciate it.
The camera I use is the Canon IXUS 185 it’s a point and shoot with an SD card
Hope you have a great week
Simon
Hey Simon just wondering you going to the reseller summit in march be good to meet you :) keep up the good work
🤔
@@thegentlemanmarketeer its in derby like a big resellers meet up just wondering if you was going down there.
Love your videos Simon and have picked up some great tips thank you. But I don’t get your pricing? A lot of your items seem to sell for 13.77-18.77? Once you deduct eBay fees and cost of buying this must amount to a £6-£7 profit per item? I thought your business model was aiming for £15 profit? Is it just volume that makes your money or am I missing something? You work incredibly hard so guessing it must be a volume based model?
Great channel!
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, I do appreciate it. You are correct I am trying to to keep to a £15 average profit, unfortunately this doesn’t alway work if I can’t find the items. Need to get items listed even if they are a bit below my margin.
I keep a spreadsheet keeping an eye on profit. I’m currently tracking at £12 per item as some items sell for a lot more and some sell for a lot less.
It’s all about the averages for me.
Hope you have a great week,
Simon
Nice to hear from you Simon. You are a real motivation. I cannot seem to make a profit on flips from Vinted. Maybe I need to promote my eBay listings? At the moment I’m not selling on eBay? Seems very difficult.
I carnt believe you had only 68 likes for that video and had a 1000 views
Disgusting
You deserve a lot more than that
I think you need to ask the viewers to click on it
Use it or lose it
Thanks again Clifford
Hi Clifford, thanks for the kind words, I appreciate the kind words, I do think you are really got I need to ask people to like more/ thanks for the advice. Have a great week.
Simon
That was a sausage barm not a sausage roll 😎
Never heard that before, is that a northern saying ? It did taste good thanks for watching
Hope you have a great week
Simon
@@thegentlemanmarketeer yea I’m up north in Lancashire pal loving the content recently got back into reselling my self after being laid off in December loving all the tips 👍🏻
Good video
Thank you so much, hope to bring out more this week 👍
Thank you so much hope you have an awesome week
Simon
Hi Mate. just stumbled upon your channel, Just got into ebay selling myself, are you clothes purchase new? I see there all In wrapping? I ask because I try to find clothes to resell in thrift stores and 99% of them are manly, stained, holes / rips in them, It seems now on impossible to find a nice item of clothing that’s resellable :(
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment it does mean the world to me. The absolute hardest part of re selling in finding good quality items to sell. It’s easy to pick up rubbish but tracking down great items is the bit we need to learn. It’s definitely not easy but can be done. I pretty much only sell used items.
Hope that helps
Have a great day.
Simon
@@thegentlemanmarketeer Hi Simon, thanks for the reply, Do you ever sell clothes with small defects, stains, marks etc? It’s certainly difficult, I thought you sell just new as you seem to package them very well, Your channel looks decent, Look forward to picking up some tips, just subbed, cheers
@@Aza35617 yes I absolutely do sell items with defects, just need to make the buyer aware with good descriptions and clear photos. Price correctly and it will sell.
👍
@@thegentlemanmarketeer Cheers Simon, great advice _ One more question please, I see in the morning you say you put your drafts live, do you spread your listings out throughout the day? I’m currently listing 5 a day and spreading them out through scheduled listings, is it better to just list 5 In one go per day do you think?
I bet that sausage in a roll wasn’t part of your new diet plan! 😊
You are 100% correct, must do better, hope you have a great week, Simon
That was a LOT of ketchup 😅
Ha ha thank you for watching and spotting I have a Ketchup addiction 😂😂😂 hope you have a great week
