    Ah, it’s One of those boot sales. These sellers will only be paying about £12 for their pitch, but still asking top end prices as if they had spent £100 to be at an antique fair.

    America have yard sales and flea markets which run like 3 times a week and also goodwill bins where you can get a whole bag of plush for a dollar...here in the uk no yard sales boot sale once a week and charity shops price like ebay..hard making money over here

      Definitely. It’s a tough game which looks all easy when the sales are rolling in, but it is pretty hard to keep stock numbers up.

    As a local I have been going to Ford for years (just as a punter who likes a bargain) and it's joke what some people ask for stuff there. The best one was a battered to hell guitar which was also a poor manufacturer. Having loads I wanted something cheap just as a small project to do up. Asked how much expecting it would be about a fiver to which the guy grunted... "80 quid" (which it would be barely worth brand new.
    Alot of the sellers there do house clearances and just dump the stuff out and dream up a figure on the spot without having a clue.
    Best find I had was a box of a couple of old nintendos with loads of games and controls ect. Gave the guyb25 quid for the lot to which he said I would double on ebay...... I kept one of the consoles for myself with a few games and sold the rest for about 300 quid

    • @JammyDodgerFlips
      @JammyDodgerFlips  10 місяців тому

  • @ThisisJo
    @ThisisJo 10 місяців тому

    I’ve had some of my best deals from Ford. It’s for sure the type of boot sale where you won’t get loads because of the prices, but there is a lot more collectable/vintage type items - which to be fair is more what I sell. I can usually figure out the stalls to avoid. Most of the house clearance guys are much more reasonable with prices, but it’s a right effort to dig in the boxes!! 😂
