I have only ever seen ONE Jellycat since going to boot sales and charity shops. That was in a charity shop which wasn't even open! You seem to find them every week.

Love your channel. Managed to pick up a Chococat BAB recently for £2 in a Charity Shop thanks to you, my best ever find. I remembered you saying in a video that some of the BAB have value so looked it up in the shop.

I went down to Sully Carboot on Sunday and wow was it busy. I thought you would have been there, thoroughly enjoyed, great atmosphere and the sun stayed out. Well done Ian, really enjoy your videos.
@TheCardiganR3 ай бұрын
You are spot on about the time spent searching and money earned. I normally source if ive got a spare 1/2 hour when im out in the van for work which works fine for me. Park on a loading bay, no parking tickets to worry about 😅. Ive always enjoyed the hunt anyway, so a 60 mile round trip on a sunday morning to a boot sale sometimes isnt worth it. Thats a bit dis heartening for me, especially when i could have had a lie in. But if you dont go, you wont know.

Exactly what they used to be for me and the jellycat Guy... spending time together. Now he's at school, I'm effectively going round to make money... and that's not really happening
@Planet_Passey3 ай бұрын
Refreshingly honest Ian, and it's true that this pastime we partake in is getting more difficult in terms of sourcing and indeed profiting with everything going on. As an escape from your full time job it's ideal, and if you can make a bit of money whilst you do it then that's a definite bonus. But as something that you would otherwise depend on to fill the "non-working" day's pay, it's far too unpredictable, particularly given the time and effort spent looking for stuff. Some days may yield some excellent returns, but otherwise leave you wondering why you bother. I'd say it's nigh on impossible these days to make a full time living from this, just by sourcing from charity shops.

Mate, you're absolutely smashing it but you also have to enjoy the grind. There's good days and bad but I would just suggest that you re-asses things and go at it from a different angle. A lot of people love what you do and it inspires others to do the same. Keep up the hustle.
@MasterofPieces3 ай бұрын
Enjoying the grind is a must and reselling for me has always been more than the money. If it were all about money I'd have packed it in and focused on my full-time job. There are lots of positives about the reselling world

I know our situations differ, but I won’t take time out of work to go to charity shops. I’ll visit them on my days in the office, and like you, it can be therapeutic to potter around lost in your own thought. I’ll find the odd gem, but nothing consistently so will only visit the gem at my convenience. I can imagine disappointment drives buying things that aren’t brilliant because you don’t want to come away empty handed. Just glad neither of us does this full time as I fear it would suck the fun out of it.
