- The charity shops were a struggle today. Prices generally too high for reselling on ebay or the quality of ite.s weren't there.
Ebay sales have picked up though so I'll show you what's been selling on ebay for profit

What NOT to pick up is just as important as what to pick up for me, it’s all learning from your knowledge. 👍 Thankyou.
Ha totally. Its an art in itself
Keep the videos as they are. We enjoy watching them as a family 😊
Appreciate the feedback :)
100%
My Dad used to say 'No knowledge is ever really wasted'. Please keep on showing us all sides of reselling. Thank you
Thanks helen
These videos are always great. It shows the ups and downs of reselling! Us views trust you more, we know your honest and there is nothing staged or clickbait. As long as you enjoy making them, i enjoy watching them!
I do enjoy making them and great to hear you enjoy watching them :)
As someone who also flips stuff on eBay, I love watching any kind of videos you put out. I think those of us that do eBay get a certain kind of enjoyment out of videos like these, more so than people that don't do this, regardless of how successful you are in each video.
These kinds of videos in particular are great when you find stuff, but are also informative for those of us looking out for stuff as you mention how much stuff is worth regardless if you pick them up or not. It's always enjoyable to watch anyway and not only lets us see how you're getting on with eBay, but also gives people like me the extra motivation to get on a do more!
I think it would be super cool to see more in depth stuff every now and then like the listing and/or packaging process. Maybe even like a vlog style video rather than just these shorter hunting videos. Just an idea if you're not finding much. But I love these kinds of videos so I'd love to see you stick with doing these! 🙂
Appreciate the feedback Tom. Not sure about the listing and packaging mind... I just do everything off the kitchen table. Nothing glamorous in it at all tbh
Ive been dipping in and out of reselling for a few years. I hadn't realised it was a serious thing!
By chance i came across reselling video on here around about the same time as have a difference of opinion with my employer.
I walked out and jumped into reselling full time, i bought a big shed and have been going for just over 3 months.
Im not earning a fortune but im getting by.
And most importantly im happy!
Your videos, along with others are a constant source of useful information and help. Without them i would probably have given up by now. Keep them coming please
Fair play to you!!
“It’s going down but we’ve reached the floor” 😂😂😂😂😂
Ha yeah going no lower than that
It’s not really about the pick ups, it’s the hunt and your thought process and guessing if you will pick it up. You are an affable man
Not gonna lie... had to Google affable. Thankyou :)
The guys in uniforms were after you at the start😂.
Glad you posted the vid as each item you talk about you pack info on it for us. So although you don't win we do.
Lots of sales ( some quick) which is great for you. Well done. Prices were mad but i think you knew that was going to be the case so you were never going to get your head in it. Refresh and Go again. Good luck.
Ha they weren't happy. Exactly... go again next week 💪
We love watching your videos regardless of the content, always something to learn but nice to see what you’re up to. Really appreciate the time you put in to your videos which help us out. Rich
Nice one rich, appreciate it!
allways good to show the slow days so others understand not all days are a big win mate keep up the vids mate i love them
Cheers marv, it's fun making them
Keep these videos coming Ian a great evening watch for me and the other half ..
Love to hear it!!
These videos are really helpful, you keep it real and that's appreciated ❤
That Kazakhstan rugby top has to be a joke, the writing on back sounds like it is from Borat movie
You made me chuckle with being tempted to use the metal detector 😆
Haha not tried it yet
Love the content Ian . The good the bad and the ugly prices where you live are so very expensive . Our charity shops here are split 50/50 cheap and fast moving or slow and holding too much stock!! The cheaper ones are never empty especially on the 50p Saturdays everything absolutely everything is 50p. The other ones try to squeeze too much money so they always end up not getting much trade. I only go into those on occasion to see if they missed anything. It would nearly pay you to get a ferry over and fill a van lol
Ha like the sound of that!! Where you based lol
Thank you for the video. We definitely want you to continue posting vids, even when not much picked up. We can get quite down when not finding much on sourcing trips, so it's good to see that others experience the same. It can't always be good 👍
Yeah it's demoralising when you come back with not much... totally get that!!
Wow them charity shop prices 😮 great video Ian 👍
I know crazy right!?
3:49 Greatest TV series ever
Love these videos. Anyone who goes on the hunt has days like this. The main thing on days like these is not to buy bad stock in desperation.
Excellent point. Easy to just buy for the sake of it. Top comment this
These videos are atill great. I enjoy them just as much as the others! Still helps to know what NOT to look for ha! Thanks
Haha no worries megan
Old skool way of gripping a deck. Love fos graphics
Yeah looks sweet
Having started my reselling journey off the back of a couple of CZcams Resellers I use to watch back in 2016/17, I can safely say that the videos are the number 1 reason Charity shops/Facebook Marketplace and some Car boot sellers massively overprice the stock. Because it is shown there is money in reselling everywhere else has realised they can make a lot more money doing it themselves. This is no dig to CZcamsrs at all, it just was always going to be a knock on affect. I have seen prices over the past 5 or 6 years especially charity shops!
Keep up the videos though mate, awesome stuff!
I think youtubers are an easy target for blame in this situation when really the cause is likely much deeper.
Most charity shops have taken a strategic decision to sell products on ebay before they even reach the shop floor. Its sensible business for them to make the most money out of products. That means volunteers in the stores are already researching the items so they can send the best ones to ebay. That's not video influenced. They're looking most items up already and would be using ebay regardless.
Its very easy to benchmark new items against what they sell for online. Ebay/vinted/depop provide a good guide to the 2nd hand market of a product. Its still a business decision to price match vs sell cheap in volume... that's not video driven.
The cost of living crisis may mean more people buy 2nd hand from charity shops. Demand is higher so maybe they up the price as there is competition for the stock.
Rising inflation means things are generally more expensive too... perhaps the shops are charging more to offset some of that.
Videos provide awareness that reselling is happening. Why should that impact the price on the shop floor!?
I think the youtuber influence is more about empowering more people to resell providing more reseller competition... but that's a different topic.
I'm just going on my experience since I started dabbling in reselling and watching the videos from 7 or so years ago mate. I saw a clear difference in shop prices before CZcams videos were getting popular to how they are nowadays. The bigger the charity the more the prices are higher. Yes it makes sense for them to sell on ebay but I believe they didn't realise this until their researchers saw how much people were making from reselling their goods and instead decided to implement the changes so they didn't lose out. Most businesses these days hire people to actively look at social media to see trends that will help business, 1 of which is the reselling community and hence why prices over time have started to go up, this mainly being from CZcams and Instagram. Remember charity shops were actually started to provide poorer families the chance to obtain items at a cheaper price as well as provide money towards the charity. Obviously reselling has had a negative affect on that aspect for people who needed that service. As a full time reseller I have very much leaned away from charity shops myself but that's personal preference. Like I said before its nothing against CZcams resellers, if it wasn't for a certain few people posting I wouldn't be a full time reseller who loves what I do. But there are always knock on affects, positive and negative.@@MasterofPieces
I love to watch these kind of videos - keep them coming Ian please!
Thanks natalie
First video I've seen, CZcams just randomly suggested it to me today. Loved it and can't wait to see more from you 😊
Ha welcome aboard!! Out of interest do you resell or use ebay?
I find the best places to pick are community shops or shops run by a local church. Always welcoming, friendly and everything’s priced cheap and will often give you a good deal.
Yeah the sleepy little shops where there are less customer competiton
I mentioned on a Luxury Pickers vid the other week how i really rate your vids because you show the whole spectrum of the reselling i really respect that . Keep up the good work 👍:)
Appreciate that!! Thanks for spreading the word!! Luxury pickers are excellent
Great video as always. I appreciate the fact that you have shown the reality of sourcing sometimes.
Yeha but don't want to be showing that every week mind!!
We all have days when you can't find owt . but same as you last week ebay was working well for me cheers Chris
Love all your videos, especially when you don’t find much. Sometimes I end up with nothing from the charity shops so it’s nice to know I’m not the only one. Would love to see a video with some helpful tips when it comes to buying branded items, how to spot a fake etc. Enjoying the content, keep it coming 👍🏻
Ha I could do with watching them vids too!!
Yes please Ian, keep doing these bad days as well as the good, but the hunt is always fun. Reselling ain't as easy as some youtubers make out.
Great video Ian. Keep up the good work ❤
Thansk sally
I really enjoy your videos keep them coming x
Cheers melody
Glad to see your eBay sales have picked up Ian, but bummer about those charity shops. There are always going to be more expensive shops out there, particularly when it comes to clothing, footwear and easily identifiable stuff. But when shops individually price up toys, for example, that would otherwise be 50p each, or CDs/DVDs all priced differently, that's when I feel they're taking the mick. No parent/reseller is going to want to pay £3/4 each for a small plastic animal; that lady is a space cadet! I love these videos though as I'm sure we can all relate to those days where things just don't go our way. Great luck dodging the traffic warden mind!
Ha yeah pricing stuff like dvds cannot be the best use of anyone's time. Best thing I did all day was avoid the parking ticket!!
The thing is now the charity shops are run as a business now so price up everything but allways worth looking as you never no , we have a 321 shop in york ,I usually come out with 2 or 3 bag fulls the normal charity shops do have the odd thing worth buying so if you don't go you will never no , always good to see your videos regardless if you find Any decent finds
Yeah always worth having a look. More about finding things that slip through the net tho rather than just priced to sell
@MasterofPieces yes 100% am lucky we have 321 shop so everything is no higher than £3
£4 each?! 50p each is usually the standard. Maybe a pound if it's a dragon or something. Love that Power Ranger thing.
I feel your pain with the mediocre charity shop day. Last Friday I found the binoculars from Toy Story (The full sized ones that can go for £100) for a quid. Monday, absolutely sod all. 😂
P.S. Yeah the videos are brilliant. Keep it up mate.
Yeah 50p each sounds fair to me. They are expensive new granted. Great find on the binoculars!!
@@MasterofPieces Cheers mate!!
These are my local charity shops and 100% agree with what you’re saying, the prices are ridiculous!
Very rare to find a bargain down there for reselling. For personal use maybe... but not for ebay
Love wat you do and your videos.The charity shop my mother used to work in has a young lad pricing the stuff by going thru eBay.
Yeah guess a lot of them do tbh
Keep them as they are...the good and the bad days👍
Cheers duncan
Always enjoy your content.
Thanks :)
Brilliant. More of the same please. Really appreciate the effort you go to. 👍
It's a hobby that I love too
It’s l oh l ( L.O.L) you should try finding the dolls houses or cars they sell quiet good and the baby versions do especially the colour changing ones. There’s always L.o.l dolls in cowbridge car boot
Yeah I'm defo exploring them more!!
Prices in charity shops are getting ridiculous. I understand theres costs etc to a shop but when you see the same stuff on the shelf for months on end its ridiculous. There was a sat nav in a shop for £34.99. Been there for a few months. Went in one day and it was reduced to £9.99. So i bought it and flipped. Imagine how much money that spot could have earnt the shop over the months if they just lower their prices! I have a mate how has a charity shop for his charity and hes very resonably priced. He done a weekend where everything was £1. He made more money in that weekend than he did for the previuos month. Just goes to show, lower prices, more turn over
Totally agree with this
Yep love all your videos!
Thanks :)
Love all your videos ❤
Thanks rhianne :)
Love your keep them coming 🥃
Nice one appreciate it :)
Some of the prices are ridiculous in certain shops. Either silly prices or they are actively searching ebay prices.
Totally
Like these videos even if you don't pick much up, people are curios to see whats about and what prices are like etc.
Yeha guess they capture the current state of play
@@MasterofPieces I've pretty much stopped buying anything from charity shops and on the flip side I've stopped taking things in to donate as well. I know they are raising money for good causes but they are mostly run by volunteers and I've also been told they get reduced rates compared to other high street shops? So the prices are too high. I donate my stuff directly to schemes that hand out items to families who are struggling.
Great video pal
Cheers kev pal
I like these video it shows how real it is and u can't always find something in charity shops there prices are high at the moment it's crazy some of them buy me the prices are really high. That's a bargain for £1 on them items good find
Yeah was tricky this week. Hopefully it's a better one next week :)
@@MasterofPieces yeah hopefully there will be.
That deck is mint,I like that Ian
Yeah looks class... love the colours
I just like seeing what's about in the welsh charity shops/booties,always interesting
Keep doing the videos it’s important to show the slower days for an accurate idea of what it can be like
Yeah agree but the channel is as much about entertainment as it is anything... we all like to see the bolos
Loving your happy go lucky attitude, Don't let the b*** get you down!
Ha totally
That Everton shirt was a player Gana Gueye, still way overpriced, Everton stuff doesnt shift very quickly unless is the vintage stuff.
Yeah never getting that to resell at £30
Love all the videos
Cheers thanks :)
Still want to watch, even if it's not such a good day for sourcing.
Thanks Michelle:)
Like all your videos 😊
Thansk clare... I like all comment :)
Most of the charity shops around me and in general in London are like this the bigger charity shops chains cancer research, barnandos etc. The a smaller charity then lucky get more of what a charity shop prices should be.
Yeah I do tend to avoid the ones I know are expensive... but sometimes you never know
i’ve never known a clothing brand that gets overpriced quite like Superdry, nearly every charity shop under the sun charges stupid money for it even though they’re a fairly reasonably priced brand.
Guess it's very easily identifiable so the shop workers can just slap a higher price on than other brands.... same with converse shoes
Keep doing what you are doing MoP. Whatever you put out is informative and golden!😊
Ha appreciate it :)
great video
That Gana Everton shirt had the player issue large PL patches on the arm. The retail patches are much smaller. Could’ve been a decent pick up.
Maybe... Still had the tag on tho so guess they would have removed if intended for a match 🤷
Always enjoy watching you Ian but I have to tell you that your volume is getting pretty bad I'm having to plug in earphones to my laptop to hear you. I think its about time you got a mike.
Ha not that bad is it.... Christmas coming up, might put a mic on my Christmas list
In fairness, Gana is an actual Everton player so it's not just some bloke's name. Still no margin at £30 but it's probably not an unreasonable price given it's BNWT.
Ah didn't realise was a player. That shirts been there a while
Only just started watching but really enjoy the videos 👍 have you got a link to your eBay or Vinted
Should just be masterofpieces
@@MasterofPieces 👍👍
Hey, recent pick ups, more monster jam trucks, had 3 gold MaxD 1.24 trucks average cost price of £3 all gone within a day of listing at £25 each plus post, others like blue thunder sell for about £20 same timescale, also a space 1999 eagle transport minus engine for 50p!!
1st today :).#winner 🏆
@MasterofPieces I'll add some content to it in a bit
I think the staff keep the good stuff or it goes online. If anything makes it out its either too dear or another reseller snaps it first
Part of the perks of being a volunteer tho. Hopefully they still but some good bits out to intice others in tho
You should do a ‘shed video’ comparing your profit margins from car boots vs charity shops. That could be interesting.
You’ve had a bad day at the shops, but over a 12 month period?
I don't really keep a track of individual item performance. Would have to consider what's not sold from charity/boots as well to get full picture. Would be interesting tho
Hi Ian, great vid. Just wondering do you worry about sending stuff as large letters as theres no tracking code?
With Royal Mail drop and go you get proof of delivery and a code to put in ebay
@@MasterofPiecesIs it still the same price ?
Yep
@@MasterofPieces Man what a great tip im almost definitely gonna do drop and go from now on
Everton name set is a player not a random guy 😉
Ha couple have said that
👍
👍
love all your videos . can i ask do you pay to promote your listing please . just started doing it going v well be the fees are crippling
Yep I promote everything on about 2%. On a £10 item that only 20p so not that much really
thanks for the reply mate appreciared @@MasterofPieces
Charity shops arent smart over pricing used things cause it means less sales if u charge less youll definitely get more sales maybe not as much money but means more stock can be put out also most things have been donated so didnt cost them anything anyways
Volume turnover vs one off sales
@@MasterofPieces precisely that's the shorten version 😂
Some cool bit m8 did you press waffles paw m8
Ha probably not tbh... maybe he did work!!?
Only reason l know that because l picked one up and at first l pressed it's belly first lol
As you deal with toys I thought you'd be a good person to ask. I've just found a box of micro scalextric in the attic and everything needs to go. It's the full set but I don't know if it's working. Should I bin it or sell as spares?
Plug it in and test it!!! I've not had much joy selling micro scalextric tbh
@@MasterofPieces ok thanks
i went in a charity shop other day there wanting £60 for a roughed up box of a question of sport .
I think it’s absolutely disgusting the prices charity shops feel it’s acceptable too charge for things now days. Absolutely nothing charitable about asking £4 each for some silly little animal toys. And to look something up on eBay and ask for it’s exact eBay price is just simply pure greed. I’ve fallen out of love with the hunt
Mate, they are raising money for charitable causes.
‘Absolutely disgusting’ 😂
You could argue that it’s A.D. that re-sellers like Ian look to make a profit from buys in charity shops.
CAN I MAKE IT QUITE CLEAR THAT I PERSONALLY ARE NOT ARGUING THAT
As Ian said himself there were items of clothing that were good value, if you wanted one for yourself I.e. not for profit.
@@themoodyteam Oh give it a rest, google how much their CEOs earn. I’m am just stating that they are charging far too much for stuff they are getting for FREE.
I feel like that aswell they are hurting the charity with their greed shops near me are closed for donations because the shops full and it’s because they are too expensive they need to get stock shifted it costs them nothing why charge £30 for a second hand superdry jacket in average condition. I don’t resell those but it’s a prime example see the same jackets every week
@seasiderjay5240
Agreed, charity shops are there to raise money for their charities.
They would raise a lot more if their prices were sensible, whether its resellers or others buying the end result would benefit the charities more
@@ImARD98 ‘Oh give it a rest’?!?Apologies, but charity shops have their business models, even if they are getting stuff FOR FREE (Joni Mitchell pun there).
Also, not everything is ‘free’. A lot of shops sell their own stuff, Oxfam is a good example.
And some of the clothing is bought in.
There are companies that buy in bulk from recycling centres, sort it and bundle it up into 1 tonne bags which are then sold on to charities. There’s vids on CZcams of people buying these dumpy bags privately and doing a live opening.
Hey curious if you have experience or know if bundle themed funko pops sell any good these days? got 24 my hero academia ones and dont have the room and need to move them
With all funko I look them up individually... if they're not worth it the i bundle :)
@@MasterofPieces yeah i kinda wanna bundle them as all 24 are all minty in pop protectors just worried about postage as 24 in 1 box with the delivery companies around rhondda is a tad worrying xD
£3-4 each! 😂
I know 😅
😊❤

i pod touch looks no good pal, you can bypas and reset it but you cant use it if its still got an apple id on
Ah no way. Not tried resetting it yet tbh
GANA is an Everton player. So yes it is some blokes name but that bloke does play for Everton 😂
😅
@@MasterofPieces i can understand why you didn’t know. It’s only Everton after all. 🤢
Isn't that text on the Kazakhstan top from Borat?
Ha no idea
Albany Road prices are ridiculous no point even bothering down there
Yeah I don't usually bother gareth. Only go down there for the cex
Hopefully Sully on Sunday if not raining
you can record anywhere in public tell them to piss off 🤣

whats that "RALLY CAR" thing at 08:50?
Not particularly high quality and missing the remote I think
What is the name of your eBay shop please 👍
Ian have you ever thought of upgrading from the garage you constantly worry about space why not go bigger than you can get more stock just a thought
Nah not on the agenda tbh. So many benefits working out of the garage rather than renting a seperate unit. I rarely buy big items anyway do what I have works fine
A heroin deck? Here's a message from your uncle Bill kids. Don't buy drugs...become a pop star and they give you them for free!!!

@@MasterofPiecesanother great video as always Ian. Always good to see good days and bad days when charity shopping, it’s all too easy to see people showing off the mega hauls but in reality some days you pick up loads and other days you just come home empty handed. Nice to see both sides of the coin. Keep up with the content, loving the channel as always.
First or Second?

Ha solid bronze
Well done with the LOL doll Ian, I told you they were one to pick up a while back on insta, fab to see you’ve sold one!!❤ @thefarmerswife
