Reseller REALITY... a BELOW AVERAGE morning at the charity shops

[@danielharby3433]

A family member works in a national charity shop and eBay are teaching each shop manager how to do eBay from their own shop so they can list all the good stuff onto eBay instead of it going out the door, they even have a dedicated person at eBay who they can contact if they get stuck with anything.

[@MasterofPieces]

yeah I can totally imagine that... the online retaillers aren;t stupid and if they see an opportunity for business they'll go for it. No doubt resellers will get the blame

[@Planet_Passey]

I was about to comment that that didn't seem too bad a haul, until I read that was across 15 charity shops and most of your day. Even focusing on smaller profit but easy to list items from the toy boxes seems to be difficult at times as seemingly anything noteworthy is plucked from it and into the glass cabinet! Speaking of which, it's obvious they haven't got a clue about any of what they had. The yellow tanker next to the G1 looked like it could've been Dinky and potentially worth a punt at a fiver, but £10 for a common as muck Corgi Ferrari 308; hopeless! Seems to be the norm unfortunately; anything "older" is deemed to be worthy of the glass museum, regardless of the condition and true value! Great stuff with the sales though! I need to do the same, just get a load listed to hopefully kick the algorithm up the backside!

Those adventure people shuttles were a blast from the past,I remember having one of those as a kid

[@MasterofPieces]

I liked the look of them.. no figures or accessories though so priced a bit steep

[@StevenBrown-w2w]

Happy days,some really good sales and a couple of tidy pickups.

[@MasterofPieces]

cheers appreciate it

[@brandonlane6114]

Sully is finally on this Sunday 👏👏👏

[@MasterofPieces]

weather looks decent too

[@adamj6113]

Made some good pick ups there. My local charity shops I don't even bother with anymore. Not found anything in them for ages.

[@MasterofPieces]

i find there are £10-£15 items out there... just hope the asking price is low enough

[@adamj6113]

@MasterofPieces I sent a pair of old Converse to my local one a few months back, just to see how much they would price them at for a laugh. More than I paid for originally and more than brand new online. Madness. They're still there.

[@ashens2]

Sony Cyber Shot cameras are worth keeping an eye out for 👍

[@MasterofPieces]

yeah on the lookout for them :)

[@colinbleach9390]

Excellent stuff again. Ian .. fabulous

[@MasterofPieces]

thansk Colin!

[@johncoote5134]

Ian you need a couple of AA when you go sourcing Just a little kit inc a little screw driver too

[@liamthomas1499]

That shop with buffy, I got a Cartier watch in there for £1!

[@MasterofPieces]

ha thats mental!! shop is crazy

[@davidmister8037]

haha i picked up that exact camera yesterday in Ty Hafan, was liking the look of it until I saw the inside of the battery compartment. I was screaming at the screen just ‘check the battery compartment!’ 😂

[@MasterofPieces]

the inside was wrecked!!

[@Panzer-xi5uj]

Nice one Ian 😊 you soon will hit 10k subs 👍

[@Thrifting_Bean]

Nice to see a realistic look on Reselling 👍

[@MasterofPieces]

yeah whats difficult to capture is the number of charity shops I went in. Must have been at least 15

[@Thrifting_Bean]

@@MasterofPieces 🤣oh dear, again still relatable 👍

[@iainfairley98]

The ziffit advert on your videos as well

[@stephenkirkman8096]

Loved the video great content and well done on the sales made me chuckle when you realised how far you had pulled the jelly cat toy I was waiting on your son catching you out lol😅

[@MasterofPieces]

ha expecting him to burst in and grab them off me

[@JonSheppardsells]

Best bit music from the jellycats 😂😂😂

[@MasterofPieces]

haha glad theyre gone tbh

[@gentlemanofgames]

That charity shop with everything piled precariously, play cards right get them boxes to fall on you just right get a very good payday 🤣😉

[@MasterofPieces]

literally is a health hazard that shop. i got a dodgy wrist atm and that stack of boardgames falling on it did not help at all!

[@danielmac18]

Great video, very tempted by the Bath Toys! Daughter is Moana daft at the moment!

[@MasterofPieces]

go for it... just put them up on the store

[@jezlufc1842]

Nice pick ups Ian, I noticed you've started to offer free postage on a lot of your items. Do you think it's made a big difference to sales & how do you post i.e 1st class, 2 class, 2nd signed?

[@MasterofPieces]

yeah I've started to do free postage. I don't think it really changes anything... I add the postage cost on to the item cost so the buyer still pays the same and I receive the same. Looking at my ebay metrics, people have commented my postage charge was too high so this gets round that

[@jezlufc1842]

@@MasterofPieces do you still use RM?

[@shiningkantocards3962]

Get this man to that 10k mark!

[@qprboy7668]

Loving the longer video keep up the good work!

[@MasterofPieces]

i like to show sales once a week and wednesday vids seem a good place for it

[@ruudvanbrown]

I don't think it was that bad - picked up a few bits to sell and added to your collection. Beats a day where you go home empty handed

[@MasterofPieces]

yeah but to only make a potential £50 profit from 15 charity shops over about 5 hours... not the most efficient way to spend the day. Could have probs bought that transformer on ebay for the cost of fuel I spent ha

[@kevinhodgson3565]

Great video

[@MasterofPieces]

cheeers kev

[@deanmaywood3935]

Have you checked the authentication codes, perhaps they're fake shirts and that why they're left?

[@StevenBrown-w2w]

Happy days, some really nice sales and a couple of tidy pickups. Won't be long for that 10k with the great content that you put up.

[@MasterofPieces]

cheers.. its on the horizon

[@lauriepolo4575]

Shop full of resellers and the resellers wonder why the prices are going up 😂

[@MasterofPieces]

Hang on... resellers only buy when it's cheap surely

[@JasonJohnson-yu8zf]

​​@@MasterofPiecesexactly. From today's haul Pair of Diesel jeans from BHF £7 ( caught them napping on that one😂). Next shop along wanted £7.50 for a plain solid colour T shirt from primark, I think the lad behind the counter heard me when I laughed. Edit, no I didn't pick that up
