[@adamnichols628]

Unbelievable 🤣 I watched the original, she got a deal she was happy with and you were so well mannered throughout. Some people... no words 🤣 Love your content and their ludicrous comments will just give 99% of fans a giggle. Need to give their heads a wobble 😂

[@janegodfrey2888]

You were right to call out the comments Nic. Good video 👍 I don’t understand why people said that when it was clear you didn’t know exactly how many, the seller obviously wasn’t bothered about counting them either, I imagine she was just thinking she didn’t want to take them home again!!

[@littletreasures.9437]

Oh my goodness i can't believe people have done this to you and Andrea. After the YEARS of amazing hints and tips, going out of your way to share your knowledge and experience, your private lives much more than is necessary and the many ups and downs you've both had, for people to judge you so harshly on such a non incident is despicable. You are better off without them, believe me!! I for one will be forever grateful that i stumbled on your channel quite a few years ago !! So many of us have still hung on in there in the gritty times because of you and lovely Andrea- for every 1 eejit there are thousands of us that have got your backs. Now have a good sleep, chin up and keep doing what you love.... Linda 😊❤

[@CathE-YTfan]

Wow! People selling often want rid of their stuff and let’s be honest there aren’t many of those cars around these days. The seller didn’t seem upset with the deal. If Nic wasn’t a KZbinr would anyone really be bothered? I, for one, will continue to subscribe and think that the keyboard warriors are very silly and there was no need. Also 12 is roughly 10!

[@CoolSharpHarp]

Good for you Nic. I guarantee she did not want to take that big bag of old books home with her and was probably thrilled with £7. Gone is gone. All this craziness over 2 books and £3. Hilarious really. Haggling is part of car boots. If she was that bothered she could have opened the bag and checked before selling. I got the impression she really couldn't have cared less and was happy with the £7 which probably covered her entry seller fee. Good for her, good for you.

[@deborahneeds]

Personally I think the lady was delighted with £7 for the books Nic. I've been buying and selling at car boots for 30 years and firmly believe a little negociating always makes the day. If she didn't want to take your £7 she would have said so. Plus think she definitely would have taken them home with her if you didn't buy them.

[@zoesouber6465]

I totally agree. It was an bag of old books the seller wanted gone. I have no sense in any way that they were unhappy with the transaction. Rest easy on this one Nic.

[@carlyno.5324]

If you were being dishonest then why would you film it and post in on your channel?! Love your content and thank you both for everything you do for the reselling community xxx

[@catherinehorton6722]

It's up to her to know her stock anyway. But I dont think you counted them.

[@randomrick1263]

Hello Nic! I have been watching your content for years. No dishonesty seen! This type of bartering is standard when buying things like this. None of us have time to explain every nuanced thought process when out picking! And most sellers don't care and are simply happy to make the sale.

[@tessaporter2989]

The lady was delighted to get rid of a bag of musty old books ! I watched the video before and never gave it a thought - just classic, wholesome car boot banter ! Keep doing you Nic ! ❤

[@Swanie2000]

Hi Nic, I haven't read the comments here but if you read this, please don't give this silly people anymore headspace. You are offering so much FREE advice and helping us on our respective journeys and you are very much appreciated! The hate is completely out of line. We all know that the lady was probably happy just to get rid and have some cash in return. The detail really doesn't matter too much. She should have known what she was selling. If the shoe was on the other boot... Would you care of you just wanted to get rid of stuff to someone else who wanted it?! Thanks again for being there for us and keep up the great work!! ❤

[@Sandy-ry9cm]

I fully agree x

[@joannenapier9694]

I agree too, more than likely if nic just wanted the 4 books the lady probably would of thrown the damaged ones in for free

[@sarahbytheshore]

This reminds me of a camera incident a few years ago 😂 Nic, you aren’t dishonest. Please don’t worry about it

[@Baglady111]

Hi Nic, don’t watch all your videos but have seen enough to know you’re not dishonest. If people are so quick to judge you, then honestly they’re not worth bothering with. Totally understand why you’d want to explain - I would too. And yes I’ve always haggled too, it’s just something I can’t help doing, it’s sort of ingrained as it were. You did nothing wrong at all.

[@suzygravy4507]

They couldn’t have been regular subscribers otherwise they would have known that you are just not like that. You’re always polite and fair. It appears that a few trolls have grouped together to cause trouble.

[@michaelknowles2212]

I have watched Nic and Andrea for a couple of years now and I have no doubt in my mind they are two honest people. First of all the car booter should have known how many books she was selling, Nic asked how much she wanted and like most people at car boots asked if she would accept £1.00 lower, she could have refused also she could have counted the books herself- she didn’t, she was happy with the offer that Nic made. I think the people who have unsubscribed you can do without. Keep up the hard work I look forward to the next video.

[@lucy7594]

There is nothing wrong with what you did. Keep doing your thing ❤

[@tinamack303]

Hi Nic! Long time suscriber here and I don’t plan on leaving! I was flabbergasted to hear you being accused of stealing. Total nonsense. You and Andrea are some of the best people. Don’t pay any attention to the folks who are talking crazy. I enjoy watching your videos after a long hard day at work. Big hugs to you and Andrea. ❤

[@JulieKelly-c4l]

Well Nic and Andrea we have to thank you 2 for giving us the confidence to sell on line 4 years ago, you kept us going through the lockdowns and give out plenty great advice, along with a team of other resellers so Thank You both x

[@marciapowell8102]

I bought 14 Haynes manuals once...I realised I was lucky they only took 18 months to sell and ended up throwing last 4 away.. I was so sick of seeing them. I'm sure she was happy with the £7 I'd have accepted it for all 14 I bought... Poor nic being accused of stealing. They're a lovely honest couple reselling professionals!

[@Toxic-Ology]

Right there! That’s the thing people saying it’s like theft don’t get. 18 months to sell is a long time and you’ve thrown some away. Right there is the decision making at play oh and that you might have missed that some of the pages are missing from the main ones which means that price you planned on selling them for is a pipe dream. Yes there’s other items in stock that sell to allow for waiting 18 months when reselling, but it’s a game of winning much better than you lose. And that is what is at play when you’re buying. If nic throws 4 books away that means he’s paid £7 for 8 books in reality. They won’t have quality checked the books. So if the books he’s bought the collection for turn out to have missing pages, then are these people going to argue she scammed him??? Of course not, because she didn’t, she just wouldn’t have checked them and sold them cheap with that being part of the risk you take. People pointing the finger clearly don’t resell for a lot living. Maybe they should go out and buy things from a car boot sale and and pay what they think isn’t theft and see if their opinions change when they get home and discover that had the items been in good condition they may have made a decent profit, sold one only to have it returned because they didn’t notice there were pages missing and realise the rest of the items will either sell for less than £1 and take 18 months. Because these things do happen when you buy bulk and don’t have time to check every page. And you soon realise that you need think hard about how offsetting not just the risk in-front of you, but claw a bit back from a previous mistake by way of getting a better deal on what you buy next.

[@PurpleNewy]

Perfect transaction, if the lady was that concerned she would have counted them. You haggled, also perfectly normal and I wouldnt expect anything less at a car boot sale. Keep up the good work Nic and Andrea. Love your channel!

[@redscouse8568]

As some old bloke called Will once wrote "Much ado about nothing". The lady was within her right to refuse Nic's £7.00 offer but she was happy to accept, nowt wrong with haggling it's half the fun. Also I think she probably had an idea how many were in the bag and the box of other books Nic and Andrea bought.

[@matthewgodwin8308]

Oh my goodness Nic and Andrea I cannot watch this video without coming to your defence. Having bought several different items from your ebay shop I can definitely vouch for your honesty and respect and integrity. I know that you have never ever ripped anyone off. I have always been very impressed by the high quality of products and service offered by you and will be back for more. You have done nothing wrong guys.

[@RoseT78]

I can't believe people have unsubscribed over this! I've been watching you and Andrea for a while now would never consider you to be dishonest. To be fair your estimate wasn't far off. The lady seemed happy with your offer, and you got your books, surely that's what boot sales are all about? Who knows, she may well of had to take the books home again had you not brought them. You've done nothing wrong, well done for taking those comments so well, I'm sure there are many people out there who wouldn't considering the accusation being made. I for one am sticking around and looking forward to many more videos to come.

[@anamousk]

We are talking about £1? Next step will be for you to seek down the lady, or anyone you purchase from at a car boot, and share your proceeds when you sell the item. This is the real world.

[@breal6076]

I’ve been watching you for at least 4 years now I’m only 2mins in📍you give everyone information every week for years & still people want to hate,this is so sad, keep doing what your doing Nick mate, I see & learn information from you weekly! As for you buying books for a certain price, it’s none of my business💭

[@ianstoys13mgs]

"about 10" wonder what the reaction would have been if when counted there was 8 ! doesnt matter how many if the seller is putting a price on the bag full. end of in my opinion.

I personally do not think you are a rip-off merchant myself, I personally think you are very wise and very very calculated with numbers and profit margins 😊😊

[@mikewhoelse]

From a certain point of view all resellers are dishonest if you feel that honesty involves explicitly telling people what the item they have is worth. That's their responsibility not yours

I often end up with these Haynes manuals from job lots I acquire, you are right they are worth very little apart from a handful (the McLaren mp4 one for example) she got a great price for them, I never doubted Nick for a second here.

[@TheLiverpoolDelta]

I think if a reseller like you didn't come along and relieve her of the entire bag on that day, the LOT would have probably ended up in the recycling. Most people go to car boots to declutter for a nominal fee in return. You saved her a big weight to carry home. Yeah, it was a bit cheeky shaving another pound off, bearing in mind profit was guaranteed even if you paid £12. The Game is the Game. Haggle > Shake hands > Hand over money > Drive Home > Throw Tat on death pile. ✌️

[@davidbuchan2018]

Hi NIC you were totally respectful, honest and probably the best customer of the day for that lady. Sadly the opinionated ignorant voices of those who have possibly never sold anything at a boot sale ever feel free to comment as they see fit. Once or twice a year I sell at a boot sale most people offer 50% of whatever you say!! Perhaps this tactic is a feature of the general Cambridge population! To an old person like me you seem to be a jolly decent guy and you are always welcome to bulk buy my spare mouldy books for 50p each anytime!! Well done on the TV quiz to and your friend were mildly impressive!!!!

[@thelegend-8151]

I think you're the kinda person that would rip a Monopoly so it fits in a box.

You're honest and more than reasonable. I would of given her a fiver.

[@cedarstuff]

"I think there's roughly ten" Do people not know what "think" and "roughly" are? It's a load of old manuals being picked up quickly at a carboot, not a month-long forensic accounting investigation. Some of the hand-wringing from internet weirdos is pathetic.

[@elainepohl6529]

I almost always “haggle” with folks at a yard sale. I make a little pile and ask for a deal. In the US, it’s seems to be expected , and usually accepted.

[@wendyware9738]

I can’t believe people would think you were dishonest if they have followed you long enough they would know what a lovely couple you are and so helpful. The stall holder I’m sure wasn’t bothered otherwise she should have counted. Thanks for sharing

[@marynoel8148]

Makes sense. Sorry that happened to you. Enjoy watching you both!

[@adambutterworth7608]

The biggest crime against reselling here is bothering with Haynes manuals. 😂 No problem with anything else, must be a slow day for the trolls. Jon Luc was getting pelters on TikTok for haggling over some Harry Potter books too. It’s a car boot, what do they expect?

[@SocialJusticeWarrior74]

One or two of the books were in pretty grotty condition. I think it was a very reasonable offer and she could have said no to it if she wanted to. Didn't see anything dishonest in the transaction. Some people are just making an issue out of it when there is no need to👍

[@brianhenry2385]

Funny, “Roughly Ten” and 12 are pretty darn close to me. The folks who suggested you re-learn to count should refresh themselves on Rounding Numbers Up & Down. Last time I checked, 12 rounds down to 10 and 13 or 14 Round up to 15. If she wanted accuracy, she could have have checked herself, but it’s obvious she wasn’t that interested in accuracy either. Also it’s funny folks are saying you took advantage of the stall seller when “she was busy”, but folks forget buyers are busy people too and have a lot of ground to cover at sales. The idea is to make quick deals and move on.🙃🙂

[@brianhenry2385]

But remember, those who unsubscribed won’t likely see your point of view. 🤣

[@nsa1773]

Until recently the wife and I have not been to car boots for over twenty years. I have been amazed at the low prices people have been prepared to sell things for and people will still haggle over something costing 20p. The other surprise is if you then wait until they are packing up they will give the items away as they do not want to take it home. The wife spotted an item of good quality clothing and asked the seller how much, the sign said £1, we offered the pound and she said no, pick up one of the large shopping bags and it’s fill the bag for £1. I have no doubts on your integrity and honesty, and thank you for the information, videos and knowledge you both pass on.

[@thesupersleuth68]

Resellers are struggling atm so things are brutal out there saw 1 reseller fighting with another over a £10 item it’s now embarrassing, but stealing you was not more hustling

[@elizabethlovelock9613]

I resell, I never haggle if someone is selling something cheap and I know I’m going to make a decent profit, however buying a bag full, I would have said “will you do something on the price if I take all of them?” Haynes are notoriously difficult to sell and even at Boot sales most don’t sell, even at £1 I don’t see anything wrong in this, I’m sure when this lady counted up at the end of the day, she was pleased with her takings and happy to have gotten rid of junk. This is a business, this is their livelihood, they need to buy things cheaply. It’s quite difficult buying at a boot sale you have to be quick and can sometimes get caught up with buying something and wanting to move on.

[@carolboffey9876]

[@jasondaniels3542]

Honesty works both ways at a boot. How many sellers say something is working or complete but know its not.

[@iangee3311]

Criticism like this is totally unjustified.Nic was taking a punt on these, not knowing the resale value outright. Some of these comments are, I would suggest, from people who are probably jealous individuals who would themselves offer £7 for a £500 18 carat gold watch or be inclined to knowingly throw a low-ball in an effort to rip someone off. Nic & Andrea allow the public to actually see their transactions and never is there a hint of dishonesty.Get a life complainants.

[@stormofsteel25112007]

Believe it or not there are still a lot of people that sell at car boots to have a good clear out, some people give it all to charity and some people throw it away. With that in mind does it really matter what someone pays for something at a car boot sale, not really.

what you think about eBay data fishing for more info from sellers which it can use as a 'commercial product' same as Facebook did ages ago.. also they told me they have no link to Bank account identity so they are lying if they say are preventing fraud..

[@chrisfox2890]

I'm totally with you, Nic. I do about 35 car boots a year, you've got a few seconds to do a deal or you'd be there all day. You suggested £7 for the bagful. She agreed. End of the matter. A verbal agreement has been made. It doesn't matter if there's a 100 books in the bag and a Ming vase.

[@jonlebono2147]

If the seller did not worry about counting the books beforehand then I cannot see where the issue is. It happens all the time that a seller would say an item is new when it is obviously not so it goes both ways.

Hi Nic, always watch your videos, no need to justify your actions I thought you got a deal and she was happy with the price she got. When I saw the original video I told the wife that the two workshop manuals are a good find the Haynes manuals not so much keep up the good work and great videos 👍

[@gravelbags2479]

This is my first time watching your videos so here's my opinion..... I saw you rummage, I saw you put them back, I didnr once hear you counting what was in there, when she asked you how many I would say you took a guess and I'd say you're not guilty, get back out there and keep buying

[@carlsimon666]

When she said how many are there? ?? You should of said one minute I will count them I'd of counted them anyway, I'm too honest tho.

[@JoH-z6v]

I watched the original video when it first came out. Then I read the comments and I was surprised, because I hadn't thought anything was off with the transaction myself. I hadn't counted the books and I hadn't thought you had literally counted the books either. I didn't comment on that video because I was a bit puzzled, and wondered if I had missed the point somewhere. Some of the commenters were obviously the usual horrible types who are looking for somewhere to make nasty comments, but others seemed to be nice people who thought you had treated the seller wrongly. I know that haggling is normal at Boot fairs and I don't think there is anything wrong with that, but I don't haggle myself because I find it embarrassing. I wonder if some of the nicer commenters just felt a bit uncomfortable hearing you haggle someone down and then were affected by the nasty comments. One thing the internet is revealing is how bullying occurs. Off the internet trouble makers provoke whispering campaigns about something someone has said or done, until it gets distorted and completely out of context. Very quickly this turns perfectly nice people into isolated victims. At least with the internet we can see exactly what people are talking about accurately and in context. I think you were right to make this video as it would have looked wrong if you'd deleted comments that had already been seen, as people would have been left feeling that maybe something might have been amiss, when nothing was amiss at all. :) 👍

[@bamboobat3304]

Love the videos, some people seem to be jealous of your success. keep up the excellent videos and take no notice of peoples sour grape comments.

[@JamesRofl]

I'm not bothered about the books, but if everyone wants to cancel you for leaving your Facebook notification sounds on in every video, I can get on board with that 😂 Catches me out every time!

[@scousepie2]

I don't think you did anything wrong... Most ppl just want to get rid of their stuff.. Good call.

[@junglejim99]

Plus you get some revenue from this video so it's a win win 👍

[@dioon20_86]

Love the vids been watching for a decent amount of time, isn’t the seller supposed to know what there selling along with how many? Ain’t nothing wrong with trying to maximise profits! I don’t understand why people are acting like you’ve just stolen her purse, don’t listen. 😊

[@garywalker3818]

i do that as well if you can get it cheaper that's a good thing great blog keep them coming Gary from Crewe 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hey Nic, We have been waiting for a while for the final update on the Ebay problem but, thus far, we haven't heard anything. Any idea when that is coming?

[@valerierennison7616]

Hi Nic and Andrea,I must admit that it's been a while since following ,but I really can't see either of you good people being picked on out of proportion. It's very clear to me you're being polite and bartering normally for the books (some good some not ) buyer seller deals work both ways .❤

[@trockodile]

I've only watched a handful of your videos. Good luck to you mate, thanks for making and uploading them, and for sharing your experience and knowledge.

If she was concerned she could have counted them or even said the firm price is 10, she seemed happy to offload them, I’m with you on this Nic.

[@amandamills1154]

Im really sorry that this has happened to you. I feel that you have done nothing wrong and people have been really unfair and cruel. You dont need people like that on this lovely channel. Take care x

[@clembu2275]

You didn’t say ten, you said “roughly ten”, which means you haven’t counted but are guessing it’s ten. 12 isn’t too far away from “roughly ten” and I’d say what you said was justified. And as for bartering with the seller, that’s the whole point of a boot sale. The seller can say no.

[@seewhatubuy]

I regularly shoot for a lower price per item if I buy the whole bundle. Sellers will often suggest a lower price for the bundle even before I make my offer. It’s pretty standard practice at a boot sale. Perhaps those commenting are not familiar with this approach and therefore misinterpret it as cheating! I think you paid a fair price for the bundle regardless of the precise number of books.

[@jackstamford9937]

Glad you made this video I sometimes forget there is actually someone behind the screen reading the comments

[@JonSheppardsells]

Should of just bought the ones you wanted or said I'll give you for a price as some are in bad condition

[@robertmcfadden4511]

Now I understand what the term "a tempest in a teacup" means. I believe Nick.

[@happycatyoutube]

I think the lady would've eventually end up taking it to the charity shop anyway if they didn't end up selling. I bet she was glad to be rid of them and still had some money for it 😅👍 tbf, I've always done an extra cheeky haggle, even if it's just 50p off, that's just normal behavior at a Carboot. The only time I don't haggle is if the item is in pristine condition and if the seller is already given a fair price. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I didn't see anything wrong with the video 😊

[@mrmoom4219]

do a video of the said book.....to show how many are/were in the bag .....but def more than 10
