    Sorry again for the echo with my voice, it wasn’t like this on laptop but on phone it seems slightly worse.
    I have just ordered a microphone so hopefully this will eliminate the issue!
    Thankyou all again, for your support!!

    Great video but can I say that as I work in a charity shop we don’t sell things that don’t work or are broken and we have to pay to have our rubbish bins emptied . I’d ask before you take them to the shop . Then if they don’t sell them you can throw them in your bin x

    • @thesellingdan
      @thesellingdan  Рік тому +2

      Totally understand, but i thought it best to give them a second chance rather than going straight to the bin. The charity I donate to are always made aware of items I take in, and have a check prior to me leaving. Things like the RC car and small value stuff like I mention in the video they took. Even the Vtech phones and one of the colleagues will open it up in there spare time to try and fix it 👍. I would never just blind drop this off and run, it’s carefully checked and I just want to give all the things the best possible chance on being used again, before ending up in land fill 👍

    Interesting video, thanks…. In a recent video you mentioned about doing a John Pye auctions video shortly. Can’t seem to find that so is it still pending? Interested in your findings as been using Pye since just before covid and it’s become so popular that prices + add on costs quite often exceed retail or even highest bid on eBay. So most times no reseller meat on bone so unless sourcing for own use rarely a bargain seen in recent months. High risk as well as have had quite a few faulty items with no return possible due to T&Cs. Hence bit of a minefield for reseller sourcing

      @thesellingdan  Рік тому +2

      I'll make them aware when I drop them off what items don't work 100% correctly. I feel it's a better option than just taking them to the tip. More often that not children don't need a toy to work to get enjoyment from it and its gives the charity shop chance to make some money too 👍

    Great for UA-cam but there is not enough profit in this for reselling purposes. The pallet has to return at least 3 times your spend. I know from experience that the time spent per item listing and shipping as well as dealing with enquiries is just not worth it at this profit level. You would make more working at McDonald’s. Not being negative because I understand from a UA-cam point of view these are great viewing and therefore you can make money from videos like this but from a purely business prospective it’s just not worth it
