  • Come watch me go around Car boot sales and look for hidden gems and bargains to be able to resell online for a profit.
    Today's carboot sale wasn't that great for pickups but we did capture some stalls being checked out by trading standards and even some of them had stuff taken away.
    this isn't my usuall kind of video but I thought I would share my experience with you guys.
    as always thanks for watching and if your new around here drop the video a like and hit the subscribe button.
    thankyou for all returning viewers / subscribers for your continued support I appreciate all of you.

    Good for them doing their job and getting rid of people trying to defraud people with cheap crap and potentially dangerous goods not only for children but for the house ie fire hazards etc. The Trading standards are there for protection not for tax reasons etc. Legit sellers of new gear do not sell at car boots!!! Don't be ignorant to what they actually do.

      @@gonnaw1n That's the stated reason but really it's to reduce the burden on the State. Tobacco is controlled because of the strain it puts on the NHS, not because it is a health lottery. Same with car seat belts. Injured kids from fake toys? Same reason plus annoyance from IP owners who may or may not contribute to an MPs pension.

    I remember when car boot sales were just people flogging off unwanted tat, these days it appears to be traders knocking out brand new tat, be it fake, dangerous or otherwise. It’s no wonder government wants digital currency to try to put a stop to traders avoiding paying income tax.
