Unbelievable 🤣 I watched the original, she got a deal she was happy with and you were so well mannered throughout. Some people... no words 🤣 Love your content and their ludicrous comments will just give 99% of fans a giggle. Need to give their heads a wobble 😂

@janegodfrey2888 Жыл бұрын

You were right to call out the comments Nic. Good video 👍 I don’t understand why people said that when it was clear you didn’t know exactly how many, the seller obviously wasn’t bothered about counting them either, I imagine she was just thinking she didn’t want to take them home again!!

@CoolSharpHarp Жыл бұрын

Good for you Nic. I guarantee she did not want to take that big bag of old books home with her and was probably thrilled with £7. Gone is gone. All this craziness over 2 books and £3. Hilarious really. Haggling is part of car boots. If she was that bothered she could have opened the bag and checked before selling. I got the impression she really couldn't have cared less and was happy with the £7 which probably covered her entry seller fee. Good for her, good for you.

@deborahneeds Жыл бұрын

Personally I think the lady was delighted with £7 for the books Nic. I've been buying and selling at car boots for 30 years and firmly believe a little negociating always makes the day. If she didn't want to take your £7 she would have said so. Plus think she definitely would have taken them home with her if you didn't buy them.

@zoesouber6465 Жыл бұрын

I totally agree. It was an bag of old books the seller wanted gone. I have no sense in any way that they were unhappy with the transaction. Rest easy on this one Nic.

Wow! People selling often want rid of their stuff and let’s be honest there aren’t many of those cars around these days. The seller didn’t seem upset with the deal. If Nic wasn’t a KZfaqr would anyone really be bothered? I, for one, will continue to subscribe and think that the keyboard warriors are very silly and there was no need. Also 12 is roughly 10!

Nic I've actually only today been banned from a local charity shop for exactly the same reason. Yesterday i Took some sealed media to the counter to pay. (all media was 20 items for £1) I ended up having 23 items I genuinely must have miss counted. Lady on the till said how many I said 20 paid my £1 and left. Returned to store today to offer to pay for my mistake, to be confronted by manager accusing me of stealing 3 dvds and banning me from the shop. This shop I attend at least 3 times a week every week. I've even priced things for them that are clearly way under priced. But with out allowing me to explain I am now banned. Mistakes happen but to be brandished a thief in public or on a social media platform is out of order. So Nic you have my support.

I was told to leave a charity shop for questioning why items were been listed on ebay rather than been put out in the shop.basically started when I noticed a couple of records on the counter and asked the price to be told they will be going on ebay as they will fetch more money.i see this as morally wrong but that's probably just my opinion.

We all know that the lady was probably happy just to get rid and have some cash in return. The detail really doesn't matter too much. She should have known what she was selling.

I have watched Nic and Andrea for a couple of years now and I have no doubt in my mind they are two honest people. First of all the car booter should have known how many books she was selling, Nic asked how much she wanted and like most people at car boots asked if she would accept £1.00 lower, she could have refused also she could have counted the books herself- she didn’t, she was happy with the offer that Nic made. I think the people who have unsubscribed you can do without. Keep up the hard work I look forward to the next video.

I bought 14 Haynes manuals once...I realised I was lucky they only took 18 months to sell and ended up throwing last 4 away.. I was so sick of seeing them. I'm sure she was happy with the £7 I'd have accepted it for all 14 I bought... Poor nic being accused of stealing. They're a lovely honest couple reselling professionals!

@Toxic-Ology Жыл бұрын

Right there! That’s the thing people saying it’s like theft don’t get. 18 months to sell is a long time and you’ve thrown some away. Right there is the decision making at play oh and that you might have missed that some of the pages are missing from the main ones which means that price you planned on selling them for is a pipe dream. Yes there’s other items in stock that sell to allow for waiting 18 months when reselling, but it’s a game of winning much better than you lose. And that is what is at play when you’re buying. If nic throws 4 books away that means he’s paid £7 for 8 books in reality. They won’t have quality checked the books. So if the books he’s bought the collection for turn out to have missing pages, then are these people going to argue she scammed him??? Of course not, because she didn’t, she just wouldn’t have checked them and sold them cheap with that being part of the risk you take. People pointing the finger clearly don’t resell for a lot living. Maybe they should go out and buy things from a car boot sale and and pay what they think isn’t theft and see if their opinions change when they get home and discover that had the items been in good condition they may have made a decent profit, sold one only to have it returned because they didn’t notice there were pages missing and realise the rest of the items will either sell for less than £1 and take 18 months. Because these things do happen when you buy bulk and don’t have time to check every page. And you soon realise that you need think hard about how offsetting not just the risk in-front of you, but claw a bit back from a previous mistake by way of getting a better deal on what you buy next.

The lady seemed happy with your offer, and you got your books, surely that's what boot sales are all about? Who knows, she may well of had to take the books home again had you not brought them. You've done nothing wrong, well done for taking those comments so well, I'm sure there are many people out there who wouldn't considering the accusation being made. I for one am sticking around and looking forward to many more videos to come.

Until recently the wife and I have not been to car boots for over twenty years. I have been amazed at the low prices people have been prepared to sell things for and people will still haggle over something costing 20p. The other surprise is if you then wait until they are packing up they will give the items away as they do not want to take it home. The wife spotted an item of good quality clothing and asked the seller how much, the sign said £1, we offered the pound and she said no, pick up one of the large shopping bags and it’s fill the bag for £1. I have no doubts on your integrity and honesty, and thank you for the information, videos and knowledge you both pass on.

Once or twice a year I sell at a boot sale most people offer 50% of whatever you say!! Perhaps this tactic is a feature of the general Cambridge population!

As to haggling, that's what any good reseller does. Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves.

I resell, I never haggle if someone is selling something cheap and I know I’m going to make a decent profit, however buying a bag full, I would have said “will you do something on the price if I take all of them?” Haynes are notoriously difficult to sell and even at Boot sales most don’t sell, even at £1 I don’t see anything wrong in this, I’m sure when this lady counted up at the end of the day, she was pleased with her takings and happy to have gotten rid of junk. This is a business, this is their livelihood, they need to buy things cheaply. It’s quite difficult buying at a boot sale you have to be quick and can sometimes get caught up with buying something and wanting to move on.

Funny, “Roughly Ten” and 12 are pretty darn close to me. The folks who suggested you re-learn to count should refresh themselves on Rounding Numbers Up & Down. Last time I checked, 12 rounds down to 10 and 13 or 14 Round up to 15. If she wanted accuracy, she could have have checked herself, but it’s obvious she wasn’t that interested in accuracy either. Also it’s funny folks are saying you took advantage of the stall seller when “she was busy”, but folks forget buyers are busy people too and have a lot of ground to cover at sales. The idea is to make quick deals and move on.🙃🙂

Honesty works both ways at a boot. How many sellers say something is working or complete but know its not.

Envy is a crazy thing .. remember people reselling is hard even if you get the stuff for free. It takes time and lots of work plus lots of Space.

I personally know you and Andrea and this would have mortified you, you and Andrea are very honest and fair people, I could see what you were doing you were just seeing what was in it and I would have given the same answer about 10 and I am sure she was pleased that she didn’t have to lug those heavy books back home Btw I also always haggle at boot sales

Hi, very well put, I can't see a problem quite honestly. I've not had much out of Haynes manuals but they will sell. Actually have lost on one once when I forgot about the promotion fee's. As the old proverb goes - 'All's fair in love and war and car-boots'. Subscription retained BTW lol.

Hi Nic, I think most people who understand not only the reselling business will also understand that when watching an "edited" video, there may be aspects of it not known or seen. Those who have judged you unfairly and unsubscribed in my opinion were not worth having as followers anyway, no big loss. Anyone who would do that after what appereed to be a possible 'first offense" were not loyal to you just the same. Example; it's like supporting your favorite sports team until they have a bad season and then you as the fan turn on them in an instant. That to me is not a true fan, you support always through the good and the bad equally. I'd like to think I am a fairly good judge of character. You and Andrea have always seemed like kind, open, and honest people, so kudos to you for standing up for yourself. Yes, did you have to explain yourself? Absolutel not. That said, I would have done the same thing in your shoes to educate the ignorant and rude behavior of those who think they know better. Sadly, many people who follow most likely have never been a full time reseller and think they know better. I call them 'self proclaimed experts in someone else's craft or trade". Also, I think there or those who see demeaning comments from others and simply without thinking jump on the band wagon. You've spoken your piece, let this lay where it may and move on. I hope my input offers your and Andrea some comfort as I am a truly loyal follower of your channel and business owner!

I have been watching Nic and Andrea for years. When I saw the thumb nail I had to watch the video. As Nic was reading the comments I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. When he said there were 10 books instead of 12 ( even though he said roughly 10) I thought you have got to be kidding me!! First it was a sale. The woman did not want the books. She asked how many there were. She could have counted them herself if she was concerned about it. Nic asked if she would take 7. She could have said no. She wanted to sell the books. That is why the books were there. This is the silliest thing I have ever heard. For long time watchers to unsubscribe is utterly ridiculous. Nic and Andrea you don’t need subscribers like that. Keep up the great content. I do not believe for a minute you did anything underhanded. Have a wonderful day!!

@armzee9326 Жыл бұрын

Perfect deal, you asked the price!! She gave it. You haggled slightly like we all do, and she accepted. So many Karen's about that probably do exactly the same when they are out and about sourcing.

This is my first time watching your videos so here's my opinion..... I saw you rummage, I saw you put them back, I didnr once hear you counting what was in there, when she asked you how many I would say you took a guess and I'd say you're not guilty, get back out there and keep buying

I remember going into a local shop bought two picture frames fotpr 15.00 i gave a 20.00 note. I got outside and realised the woman forget to give me my change. I checked my purse but knew i hadnt put any money back i tentatively went back in to the shop and was given my change. I did feel stupid and thought the shop assistant thought i was trying it on. I work in retail myself...a few weeks later the lady came in and said i was correct it was her mistake. It takes a split second to be forgetful 😅😅😅😅

Oh my - that’s crazy that people think this way. Micro analysis of 30 seconds of a persons life and rushing to judgment. She probably would have just recycled them if they didn’t sale. I think of that scene in Sully where they got all the pilots to reenact the flight in a simulation. That is not real life and a moment in one’s life out of context is crazy to criticize

@user-sh3wv6hu5j Жыл бұрын

I watched the original video when it first came out. Then I read the comments and I was surprised, because I hadn't thought anything was off with the transaction myself. I hadn't counted the books and I hadn't thought you had literally counted the books either. I didn't comment on that video because I was a bit puzzled, and wondered if I had missed the point somewhere. Some of the commenters were obviously the usual horrible types who are looking for somewhere to make nasty comments, but others seemed to be nice people who thought you had treated the seller wrongly. I know that haggling is normal at Boot fairs and I don't think there is anything wrong with that, but I don't haggle myself because I find it embarrassing. I wonder if some of the nicer commenters just felt a bit uncomfortable hearing you haggle someone down and then were affected by the nasty comments. One thing the internet is revealing is how bullying occurs. Off the internet trouble makers provoke whispering campaigns about something someone has said or done, until it gets distorted and completely out of context. Very quickly this turns perfectly nice people into isolated victims. At least with the internet we can see exactly what people are talking about accurately and in context. I think you were right to make this video as it would have looked wrong if you'd deleted comments that had already been seen, as people would have been left feeling that maybe something might have been amiss, when nothing was amiss at all. :) 👍

Even if it was 12 Haynes manuals most of these are stored in garages so normally the books got a bit wavy or a bit mouldy of stuck together so if you’re not gonna go through each individual page, you would not know if these books are okay until you get home

Don't let these people upset you there was nothing wrong with any of this . Car Boots are for haggling and you paid a fair price for the books half if not more you will either throw away or not make any profit on. People don't understand that this was perfectly normal I am sure the lady was happy that she did not have to take them home. Keep up the great work you and Andrea are an inspiration to those of us who buy and sell. Xx

I think the lady would've eventually end up taking it to the charity shop anyway if they didn't end up selling. I bet she was glad to be rid of them and still had some money for it 😅👍 tbf, I've always done an extra cheeky haggle, even if it's just 50p off, that's just normal behavior at a Carboot. The only time I don't haggle is if the item is in pristine condition and if the seller is already given a fair price. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I didn't see anything wrong with the video 😊

When this was first uploaded I had to watch the bag of books a couple of times. Has someone who has bought Haynes books in the past I couldn’t believe you were buying them, then I saw the Ford book. I thought you were going to leave the Haynes books behind and just buy the Ford book and possibly the Transit book. I bet the lady went home and told her friends some idiot bought them stupid car books !!
