This actually made me feel better because iv had a couple howlers over the boot sale season where iv just wanted to break even so thank you for showing. Good to see seasoned veterans have bad days too
Kind of refreshing to see the rough with the smooth in buying reseller stock. Most uploaders cherry pick making themselves look flawless in their buys, when we all know that is not the case. Always love your videos. One of youtubes reseller heroes rather than villain or evil mastermind. 👍🏻
i do get why though... as a youtubers its important to make the videos flow and tell a story and dropping in a few bad buys can deflect from that. Part of what I try and do is show what a typical experience is like at the bootsales or charity shops and that obvs involves good and bad buys so it fits in quite well. I'm now picturing a Marvel Avengers style reseller lineup.
Attended my first ever boot sale yesterday and was standing next to you when you had that conversation about the Goosebumps, but didn’t realise it was you as I only subscribed a couple of days ago. I didn’t know you were from Wales so going to watch all your videos now 😊
Refreshingly honest Ian, as let's be honest many resellers don't discuss the downsides. You're definitely not alone; we've all been there now and again, whether we like to admit it or not! I guess it's just one of the pitfalls of reselling; there are always risks involved, especially with electronics and not knowing the true condition, contrary to what the seller says! Hopefully the weather holds out and you'll be back with a vengeance next weekend. 🤞
its all about taking calcualted risks. They didnt pay off for me today but I only spent £10 on the xbox, £5 on the thomas stuff, £2 on the boots and £5 on the insanity. i'll still do OK off the xbox and minimum get my money back on the thomas and insanity. if they were all complete and working it would be a very different video outcome. I'll always take calculated risks, thats where the rewards come in.
Sorry to see the problems you encountered with this boot sale. So easy to pick things up that have issues that are not noticed at the time. Happens to us all. I had a massive fail yesterday. Locked my car keys into my car at my local boot sale and had to wait two and a half hours for a Locksmith to come out and cost me nearly £150!
Today is history mate , tomorrow’s a new day. More new opportunities will appear . It’s happened to us all no one gets it right all the time myself included. All part of the Reselling journey the highs and lows . Take care 🤙🏻
I can unfortunately relate to errors and just this weekend had my first real dud experience. I mainly try to buy video games to either add to the collection or trade for big wants. Hadn’t ever experienced the whole crowding round someone’s boot as they entered and ended up being involved and immediately hated it and felt anxious during the whole thing, whilst I came away with some things from it, I felt rushed to pick stuff and not even checking realised when I got home that I had a game missing from a case. Just a reminder to check over everything before purchasing. Best of luck with future boot sales!
Its a common occurrence where sellers say something is working then 7 time out of 10 it doesn't work. At least was only a tenner abd should make money back. Specially this year had to remind myself to check contents before I buy from carboot sellers as they usually say its complete but normally its not.
Reminds me of a garage sale which I went to recently where I made one bad purchase after the other. Sometimes it goes that way. Good honest video though and made me feel better about my duff buys!
As you say, you can't beat them every time, but you have made some awesome findings more than you have lost great video again. Keep them videos playing
@@MasterofPieces oh I wasn't being negative in any way Ian , I always watch your videos and love the relationship you have with reselling and your adorable boys 👦 💙 this particular video made me lol with your reactions 😆 take care and good luck 👍 in your future sorcing 😘
I reckon someone organising a stag do would buy that referee kit, might not be a complete loss. Good to see a few fails in a way, makes it relatable. Ace content as always
It happens! I had a shocker at a jumble sale yesterday and paid far too much for stuff where they priced stuff up too high! But bought it anyways as was a jumble sale.
yeah I felt the weight of the xbox so knew a console was in there, I looked and saw a thomas tank and thought that was enough, and I saw that the dvd case in the insanity. Token checking but not particularly thorough.
I've had bootsale days like that ....the dishonesty is what gets me paid £15 for a Roberts media player with remote guy said it works ....wrong remote can't get one ...tried a replacement remote off eBay had to send it back not compatible 😳😭😭😭I'd just like to hear it 😳
Questions Is it yours? Does it work? Is it complete? The following applies even for private sales 😳 Sale of Goods Act 1979 (which still applies here as the Consumer Rights Act 2015 only applies to business-to-consumer transactions) requires that the goods match their description. If you describe goods in any way and that description proves to be false, you will be obliged to give a refund or replacement, or reduce the price to reflect the misdescription or misrepresentation I guess those 50pence bargains don't count, but it's interesting what you should and shouldn't sell.... Most is common sense
Crazy leaning them ice skates at £2 each pair And all the other stuff with stuff missing why don't you just take a bit longer checking the stuff? That X box would have seen not limited edition soon as you opened the box mate!
great video again buddy, very admirable to show the downs aswell as the ups. One question though, why didn’t you check inside the boxes of this stuff before buying? Even if stuff is going cheap i couldn’t commit to buy without having a quick look first.
its the time it takes to check. When you have lots of resellers in the same area all swarming over the tables I like to buy first and check later. Spending 5 minutes counting pieces of a £3 purchase, Id rather use that 5 minutes to check the other stalls before others. If it were a more expensive transaction then I;d be more careful
I'm sorry but i found this video so funny I'm pleased it happens to you and not just me the trouble is I'm rushing because I want to get to the next stall
I suppose it's that balance of,it's a cheap price so worth a punt,but i can't hang around because i want to hopefully find the good stuff,before somebody else does.
Just goes to show you have to be on the ball when sourcing, picked up too many things over the years just because I wasn't in the right headspace, either not researching properly, not inspecting the item, chasing a pick up to warrant the travel, rushing or skipping searching because you think there's another reseller in the shop etc. The mental game is tough some days.
and i suffer with all of this too. I feel the pressure big time at bootsales because I know there are a lot of other resellers there looking for the same type of things. I much prefer the charity shops tbh as I dont feel the pressure as much there
Big problem with eBay today with all my listings showing as 20% more. Ebay are aware that it's affected UK users and are supposedly trying to correct it.
@MasterofPieces When you click into the listing it then bumps the price up. It could be worse and prices could be discounted! I'm going to be losing sales because of this though. Fuming
The weight of the box was enough to know that there was a console in there. At £10, even if I opened it and saw the plain xbox 360, I;d still have picked it up regardless. Didnt change the outcome, just would have altered the expectation
I just can't legislate buying stuff unless I know what I'm buying be in checking it over or looking it up I get we take risks but them risks turn into hoarding other people's crap. It happens though mate we have all done it and I get the time it takes on the day checking things out but we do it in charity shops don't we. Chin up mate
charity shops are a lot less intense and pressurised. You can build a pile and methodically check. In the early stages of the boot sale, if you spend 5 minutes at a stall checking one item you could have missed 3 good items. its the one time of the week where you have a high concentration of resellers all looking around the same stalls. Its all a calculated risk, spend a couple of quid and move on. If I was paying more for the items I'd be checking more thoroughly. Some things you wouldnt be able to see either e.g. are electronics working, and then if not how much effort to fix etc... Also to make things more tricky, no phone signal at that bootsale
Could probably still Vinted the boots for your couple of quid back mate let’s face it you win some and lose some that’s life 😂 next boot sale will be a mega one
Lol ian im sorry but i did laugh i mean what you doing bud? Oh well win some lose some, Hopefully next time your do better? maybe take connor with you next time.
I'll be up for that mate, It will be definitely a change for me and Ian's to go rummaging around the booties rather than our regular chairty shop hunts
Always good to see the highs and the lows of reselling. It’s why your such a relatable UA-cam reseller 👏🏼
ive been lucky this boot sale season that I've had more highs than lows. This was defo a low though
This actually made me feel better because iv had a couple howlers over the boot sale season where iv just wanted to break even so thank you for showing. Good to see seasoned veterans have bad days too
Glad that my woes made you feel better haha

This Is Why love your channel mate you show the good & Bad cheers mate 👍
no glossing over here
So the lesson to be learnt here is to take a couple more minutes to look in boxes....Can't win em all !!!! Great video as always ....
yeah i wasnt thorough enough with this one
Thanks for being so honest about the ups and downs of reselling.

always got to go in with the frame of mind that its not working. Part of the reason I didn't entertain that xbox one at the start for £40
Reminds me of a garage sale which I went to recently where I made one bad purchase after the other. Sometimes it goes that way. Good honest video though and made me feel better about my duff buys!
everyone has duff buys/days... downside of being on youtube is you see mine
Thank you for your honesty always enjoy your content 🎉
say it as i see it round here
Kudos for the video dude, we've all had days like these and it just shows everyone that not all of the items are a win. We move on :).
Some days are just like that, howler after howler
was literally like that... made even worse with other people coming up to me saying all the cool things they found ha
One out a few ain't that bad psl, im sure that you will make up the deficit next week
Good video as always, feel gutted for you on some of the pick ups not being complete. Hopefully you'll get your money back 😊
Check the fuse on the xbox brick I opened mine for the first time in about 10 years the other day didn't work changed the fuse all good
it doesn't rain..... honestly a very funny video. Always enjoy a MoP vid.
As you say, you can't beat them every time, but you have made some awesome findings more than you have lost great video again. Keep them videos playing
as long as the bigger picture is up then alls good
Aww, I think your excitement got the better of you today , but you still produced a brilliant video Ian 😊 😊😊😊😊😊

Highs and lows...
Was v funny - the honesty is cool - we have all been there

ahhh thats annoying. swept up in the moment yeah?
You've had a couple of Tony Blairs there mate, happens to us all though, all the best great video
Never mind - we all have them. Onward and upwards. Thanks Sue 😊
Got to keep going forward!!
Very good video, this is what the 90% of the ebay youtuber never publish, the mistakes.!!!
i just show what happens infront of me... good or bad
Lesson learnt a long time ago.I always always check the box
i learn them and no doubt will forget them and learn them again
@@MasterofPieces ha ha me to
My new game plan is to avoid stalls that are doing an ex ebay stock clear out with all there fails 😅
those stalls stand out a mile away eh!?
You win some you lose some. Love how you're always authentic. Has anyone ever said you look like Brock from Pokemon?😅
Ha he does have a solid pair of eyebrows!!
Gutted mate, this is why I always open the boxes and check
yeah I felt the weight of the xbox so knew a console was in there, I looked and saw a thomas tank and thought that was enough, and I saw that the dvd case in the insanity. Token checking but not particularly thorough.

Loving the dark intros. 🌒
nearly walked into the car tbh it was that dark
Oh well Ian ..you do well most of the time ..just a blip .. Good luck at the charity shops next week
charity shops are better than boot sales #justsaying
Gutted for you Ian mate seemed one thing after another
could not catch a break
it happens to the best of us mate👍
yep just gotta write them off
Ian the master of buying people's old shite today 😂. We all do it mate. I fell victim enough times over the years!
haha wouldnt be the last time either

Should of taken all of those ice skates
yep... £2 a pair was a bargain. Another gaff
Crazy leaning them ice skates at £2 each pair
And all the other stuff with stuff missing why don't you just take a bit longer checking the stuff?
That X box would have seen not limited edition soon as you opened the box mate!
Second Love your videos been watching fir a while now Definitely need to check more closely!!!!
cheers Psyduck. I do feel rushed at the boot sales... lots of others going for the same items so i dont check as thoroughly
great video again buddy, very admirable to show the downs aswell as the ups. One question though, why didn’t you check inside the boxes of this stuff before buying? Even if stuff is going cheap i couldn’t commit to buy without having a quick look first.

100% spot on
I got had today as well , 3 old board games they all said there complete all sellotaped , got home everyone has loads of bits missing ,
ahhh frustrating that
Just goes to show you have to be on the ball when sourcing, picked up too many things over the years just because I wasn't in the right headspace, either not researching properly, not inspecting the item, chasing a pick up to warrant the travel, rushing or skipping searching because you think there's another reseller in the shop etc. The mental game is tough some days.

Not like not to check the stuff your buying but with all done it
risk vs time taken to check. None were particularly high priced items so I buy then move on to the next stall. risk didnt pay off today
did you have a look at the Bop It next to that PS2? You normally go for those
ah i just saw a few other people have already asked the same question. wonder if the 360 kinect is still worth anything
completely missed that bop it
naaaahhhh pretty worthless tbh
Big problem with eBay today with all my listings showing as 20% more. Ebay are aware that it's affected UK users and are supposedly trying to correct it.
not heard about that.... will check mine

howler
Sell the MW Xbox separately
It’s at least a tenner
its pretty sun damaged thought thats the thing
Didn't think to open the MW3 box at the sale?
