If only you were closer to the south coast. I go to the one in Gosport as it’s a 2 min walk from me and it’s been really good every week I’ve gone. You’d love it! Lots of actual proper carboot people selling their own stuff from home and not all just traders with high prices (although there is some of those there).
Do the people in the comments not understand how reselling works 😂 it's not scamming you're making offers and paying them the money if you think there's profit to be made, better than it ending up in landfill.
Since the old woman video it feels like your videos are being pushed down my list by the algorithm, they used to always be top of the list, something different!
@@JonSheppardsells I’ve paid a £2 for an incomplete set, then found the missing one for a pound on line, you’ll find them on Amazon too with prime. I did with a Thomas set and a road Dahl set and got around £40 per set! Sometimes a little spend helps. Like the paddle on your bread maker. I find people don’t want the hassle of sourcing the missing piece. If it’s £5 you only paid £2 say £10 with postage you’re still gonna get £40 mate
It's a bit of a sell-fulfilling prophecy now. There are probably thousands of flipping/reselling channels on here and it can't have gone unnoticed by the charity shops that they've been regularly getting cleared out in the past @ 10 - 20x profit margin for years by resellers. Add to this the continuing popularity of this RU-vid genre and you then get more resellers competing with one another for deals and market forces take over when it comes to pricing. It is beyond ludicrous that some try selling second-hand Primark stuff for more than it cost brand new and you're right in that the shops will close as their shelves and racks are picked clean and just the tat they'll never sell for what they're asking is left behind.
It’s outrageous these charity shops are ripping people off the items are free donations given. Now for god sake. Sell the items at affordable prices that people can buy.
My Son and I used to go out for day and travel around the local charity shops looking for vinyl records as my son loves vinyl, the charity shops now want around £10 - 25 per album if its from the 90s, you can pick up the older ones from the 60s quite cheap, but everything seems to be going up now and the charity shops are getting like normal shops nowadays.
Dont bother going in them no more, they only put crap out on the shop floor. Most look like what you see at the end of a bootsale. Charities are greedy, only 5 pence in the pound goes to the cause. The rest is spent on coprorate hospitality events and six figure salaries.
Yeah mate very noble to buy something offered to disabled people in need for a low price, then selling it at a much higher price 😂 Exploit the disabled king!
Charity Shops aren’t over charging. They’ve just realised they price to sell to the public. Some great bargains. They’re not there to underprice goods so that resellers can make a profit out of them..
Couldn't disagree more ! They are receiving donations and charging top end prices which results in their stock just sits on the shelf and gathers dust. No sales = money for charity and overpaid CEO's
I'd say 90% are overcharging in my local area. Charity shop shoppers are looking for BARGAINS. Few charity shoppers will accept near market value prices, as they'd just go online. The "treasure hunt" USP has been lost, and that will mean they will lose regular and reseller customers, and ultimately will fail.
@@marlowbulldog6033 They’ve definitely increased prices. Our largest local one now has a full time person listing better donations on eBay and items in the shop are benchmark priced against it too. The Manager there reckons turnover has increased by 40% since they (as he describes) “cut out the reseller mark up market”. Sign of the times I guess. They watch You Tube and learn unfortunately…
i agree they are there to make money for their charity from things that people want and need. Charity shop rents are subsidized and they cannot fail lol
