    drives me mad when I'm selling something for say, a quid, and a bloke keeps coming back. trying to knock me down to 50p. Returns back over and over to re-examine the thing, and to try and haggle over 50p. If it had a 50p price tag on it, he'd no doubt keep coming back to try and get it for 20p. Bloody idiots.

      Years ago I was at a vintage toy fair, my mate Jack in his 80’s but card sharp was selling some of his collection. A guy walks up, picks up a clockwork mouse & gives it a looking over while he’s talking on the phone, it had a little price sticker on the bottom £55 - he looked at Jack & mouthed ‘can you do anything on the price, Jack nodded, took it, dropped it into a brown bag, mouthed ‘£60 ok’ as he passed it back without a flinch with his palm outstretched. Guy still yapping held phone on shoulder with head while he got his cash out, dealwas done in a blink & he walked off still gassing. Looking at Jack “I don’t believe what I just saw!” his reply “He asked me if I could do anything with the price & I could, I put it up” . . . Valuable lesson learned.

    My family once had to sell at a car boot sale coz we had lost our house and had no money to raise a deposit for a rental property. I was 17 and seeing people fighting over a £1 reduction for my childhood keepsakes was utterly heartbreaking. I believe I sold a nearly complete Jurassic park play set (big dinos, visitor centre, fences, vehicles etc) for £30. I shudder to think what it would be worth now.

    Back in the day when me and the missus got together and decided we needed to thin out our stuff, we did a few carboots. We used to get there nice and early ( not first) and we'd get a spot,put up the table and then sit in the car without laying out any of our goods. It used to drive the other sellers nuts. They'd try the doors and knock on the windows. I used to just smile and wink at them tapping my watch. Then once the punters were circulating, we'd lay out the goodies. No Idea if we made anymore money, but it made me chuckle.

    If you're talking about the replica pistol. Face to face sales between adults is fine. This applies to low powered air guns as well as replicas. However ebay ban all listings of guns, even cap guns. Even so, selling them online using sites such as Gunstar or Guntrader is perfectly acceptable. Posting is also allowed, but Royal Mail tracked only, no independent carriers will touch them.

It is a portable typewriter, hence the case and the lid is intended to be detachable...so perhaps it was not broken. The 'hinges' are also designed like hooks so the lid can be lifted away. £25 she was looking....oh dear...my sister dumped hers a couple of years ago and it was in perfect order ! 😢

    Many years ago on Ebay, I tried to sell 3 stars roll caps, a complete sealed packet with a heap of boxes in it. They kept on pulling the listings, even though there were tons of other listings for them and plenty had sold. I was so annoyed. Great video, my first visit. I'll check out your other videos. I'm Australian and sell at our Sunday morning market so it's really interesting to see your boot sales. I don't buy to sell though, I source free stuff from street verge collection and skip bins etc. It's amazing what people throw out. I find incredible stuff but it involves time and dedication, and fuel, to find it, so I guess that is my cost, the fuel mostly. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you
