We sold at a Car Boot Sale - But how much did we make?

We sold at a Car Boot Sale - But how much did we make?
We had a lot of stuff we needed to clear out so we decided to take it all to a carboot sale and see what we could sell, declutter and make some money at the same time.

    This is a nice variation, seeing you guys selling rather than buying, although to be fair you did buy a bit as well lol. I always enjoy selling a load of old stock at a car boot!

    Just a suggestion :) It would be really interesting if before you loaded your car you sat everything down and took a panoramic shot showing off everything you're going to sell at the flea market, that way we get a better idea of everything you have. And then at the end of the video when you come home and unload the remainder you can set it all down again and compare and contrast so we get a better idea of the amount of stuff you sold. I don't know, it's just something fun Id like to see, it would just be really satisfying to see the before and after you know? But if its too much trouble don't even bother lol. I just found your channel and I love the videos guys, keep up the great work!

I was wondering as you go to a lot more car boots then me, if I sent you a picture would you please look out for a certain cd. I refuse to pay eBay prices for it when I find all mine in charity shops or at car boots. I am not asking to go out specifically looking for it as this is your livelly hood but to please keep an eye out for it if possible?

    It makes me laugh what people haggle over at car boot sales. Something for £1 and somebody will offer 80p or so, it's like they're against paying full price even if that's a good price in the first place. Were you selling Duplo and buying Duplo in this video?

    Hi Nic & Andrea, love your videos, great inspiration to others like myself - I sell geeky clothing online through my own site and via marketplaces i.e. eBay and Amazon mostly, do you think that a car boot is a good place to sell "new" items or do you think people at car boots are just looking for a bargain and want to pay a couple of quid for something that normally sells for £10+ for example? Or do you think its just a good place to sell maybe old stock that's getting a bit dusty :-) ?

    For us we use the car boot sale to clear old stock or stock with flaws or issues, basically stuff we need to move. We sell it cheap and get rid, liquidate it and reinvest in quality stock. That works for us, as for selling new stock - I really couldn't say, but people do tend to go to a boot sale to pick up things dirt cheap...

    Hi, some charity shops are good and some charity shops research the product before selling it, therefore if it’s worth a lot they will price it high. Also when your in a charity shop use the eBay barcode scanner and scan item, then click on sold and it will tell you how much that item sold for, also don’t go into a charity shop more than once a month as they will more than likely have the same stock. Charity shops won’t net you much though.

    Never sell at cheap trending prices on eBay like you would at a Boot sale/Flea market. You can make a fair amount more if you do your research.

I would like to educate some new and even currents sellers out there to do their research outside of eBay on what an item sells for so they can max their profits and be more competitive. Some new sellers just sell too low and this starts a trend that others will follow and ruins it for others. For example A hot item I used to make $150 for many years regularly has been reduced to a mere $25 to $40 due to low selling price trends. There is nothing new that has replaced the item or has made it outdated.
