Thats crazy! Another to be wary of is new/old stock items with batteries inside, even though brand new and sealed, they have usually corroded. Been stung so many times by this.

Good reminder, got a couple of things like that. I guess you just have to weigh up whether to open it up, depending on the value.

One of the best things I bought was an old van that I broke for parts. The glove box was broken so I thought I'd just take it out & junk it. Anyhow the crack in the back had allowed a polythene bag with £500 in to slip behind the dashboard. The van only cost me £100.

Interestingly, I bought a job lot of PS1, controllers, games etc at an auction. Before I listed it, I thought I better check the games to make sure the right ones were in the right boxes. Sure enough. Some of the games cases had p*rn DVD's in them. Bloody good job I checked them.

@BLINGLADEN26 ай бұрын
I think the reason is thats because seeds are not illegal in the uk the sellers end up selling their seeds all over the world and require stealth to get the packages through to other countries. . lots of the companies even offer stealth shipping as an extra

Both times this has happened to me, the seeds were stashed in amazon basics camera cases with fba sticker barcodes on them. I was very close to accidentally shipping one of the cases GSP to spain. That could’ve ended very badly. It was pure chance that i checked the pockets of the apparently “opened never used” case. On the plus side, I was absolutely off my tits the following summer 🤪

I knew you ran a 'joint' business but this is ridiculous 😅 .The seed dealers are devious, packaging/ sealing equipment is available cheaply and making an item look innocuous is simple. This means any item we buy 2nd hand capable of concealment is vulnerable. The home 'gardening' industry is a 'growing ' sector, so this is going to happen more frequently.

Excellent story & quite a scary shock for you all 😱 I don’t very often buy unused new to resell but I have got some new unlisted items in storage so this will have me thinking 🤣 I did find a really nice vintage Harley Davidson collectors 🔪 with leather pouch hidden in a secret compartment under a table. Liked the little forgetfulness touch at the end 🤣👍
@anpj20067 ай бұрын
No nothing like that. I've bought some second hand items that have had a pleasant surprise in them, e.g. a Subbuteo set with an extra team that I sold separately, a travel bag that contained some nice gold (stage) jewelry. Also some games that where not sealed and I thought used, but when I got them home opened the box the game parts where in sealed wrappers. Even then I'd describe them as 'unused' not 'new'. I like to find Emma Bridgewater stuff in the field. I've also visited the factory shop in Stoke. I'd recommend it if you're ever passing that way. They have a nice cafe and you can buy seconds, ends of line as well as new and latest stock.

Haha, small scale. A very good friend of my daughter used to get massive rounds of gouda cheese ( 1 to 2 foot in diameter)from one of his friends at the golf club, they used sell it in blocks in her pub. They got a fresh one one day and opened the box to cut it to find that the cheese had already been been cut open and 3/4 of the inside was missing in a big square shape. They haven't sold cheese since

To be fair not just seeds. when i do house clearance the nightmare is when a person who you meet at the house is the dead persons daughter . She tells you all must go and best price . You give it then two weeks later , three large vañs to take it away amd then you get a call from a solictor BRING it all back the daughter didnt have permission to get rid without consulting the younger siblings , You then find yourself in the position of buying stolen goods and selling stolen goods all in one day 😂😂😂

hello , I am new to your channel and wanted to ask why you wrap the items in cling film….i can understand that they are more visible but it cant give them much protection can it? i suppose some and keeping them dust free ? i just wrap breakables in paper and perhaps write on it
@campcop92147 ай бұрын
I guess it helps to keep them clean and dust free, with no need to re clean them once they sell. Probably helps with scuffing abit aswell, nothing worse than selling something only to find it's not quite as described as when you originally listed and filed it away

It’s to keep things from rubbing, and keep sets together. If we bubbled them for storage, we’d have to undo it all before shipping.
