Mozart's Attic I tried some filming at the car boot on sunday but I need a hands free camera - it was impossible to get any decent footage...

@gerrydonlon959 7 лет назад
Charity shops are extortionate up my way, they retain donated stock until they have researched the value.That said, some local charity shops, if you can find them, might be more in tune with the above. Car boot sales better option if you can shoulder charge your way past the dealers !

Do u have to wait sometimes to get another game of the same if there are pieces missing, do you have stock of say scrabble letters and money etc. The boxes of some games are too big for Royal Mail so how do you ship them?
@AndrewPaez
@AndrewPaez 9 лет назад
Nice one Nic. Was wondering if the lady at the register knew your were recording because she seemed not the least bit concerned about it. California is such a freaky place that if I walked into a thrift (charity) shop here and had a camera in my hand they'd probably call the cops or direct me to their media relations representative, LOL!

Problem now is a lot of charity shops have got too savvy. They charge"antique shop" prices and "sanitize" the stock. Meaning that what gets donated that is of any potential value goes out of the back door and to either auction or Ebay, leaving the residual stock for sale on the shop floor. This may make commercial sense initially but the downside for the shop is that over time the customers get bored with seeing"sanitized" stock and end up like myself not even bothering to waste time browsing and then the footfall decreases and also profit. There are some charities that have realised this and have altered their behaviour so that what comes in the front door goes out the front. This increasing customer interest and footfall and profit. I do haggle with shops quite successfully and get the occasional "shame on you, is a charity shop but this cuts no ice as I know that the charity shop managers are incentivised to maximise profit. I make an offer they can say yes or no as can I.

50p for a game that's ridiculous !!! I live in the north east and our charity shops sell the same games for between £2.50 for the simplest type of board game up to £4.00 for something like the original trivial pursuit, impossible to make any real profit but can only try :-) It's also amazing that this vid is one I've not actually seen even though it's 8 months old..where have you been hiding it, made my day :-) I have just signed up to sell on Amazon so now I,ve got the amazon sell app, I,m secretly scanning the barcodes of all the stuff in the charity shops :-) Keep up the excellent vids mate.
@NicHills
@NicHills 9 лет назад
+Darren Bushnall Most charity shops are similar down here too with prices way too high, this one is an exception - that is why it is my favourite!!

Thanks Nic, great video as usual. I live in a part of Kent that is very expensive (although I live on what is known as Millionaire's Hill - in a great little park home - which gives me a sense of of smugness) and we are hard-pressed to find reasonable charity shops. They really are beginning to price themselves out and it's foolish because people stop going into them. I've just realised this is over a year old, but I did wonder if you could explain a bit about Amazon FBA in simple terms (I'm just starting out on ebay) and also, very confused about Hermes. Am just about to ship a big old vintage saucepan and teapot out and I can't wait to see the post-office's response, but seriously, even a recent Catopoly game I sent didn't fit into the large parcel box and they charged me more than I'd put for shipping on the listing, so I'm starting to think a courier service would be a good idea. Would appreciate a comment on this...or another video! Thanks anyway Nic, inspirational.
@NicHills
@NicHills 8 лет назад
Hermes couriers are great - just check the website - most resellers use them - for FBA just browse my videos - I have some a few about FBA and explain how it all works in a couple :)

Hi there Nic. I thoroughly enjoyed your video I found it very insightful. The one thing that makes me hesitant to go into a charity shop I guess is being self concious. I am keen to start looking but what are your thoughts on the idea of buying from charity shops to resell? I know that is a little bit of a funky question, but I would deeply appreciate your thoughts on it. :)
@NicHills
@NicHills 8 лет назад
We have been doing it for years - the chaiities name their price and we pay it - what we choose to do with the items after that is our business.... (quite literally)

The labels say Garden House Hospice, usually the smaller independent charity shops are cheaper as they don’t go on eBay themselves but put all incoming stock out on the shelves.

I know you are running a business but I don’t think it’s right to buy from charity shops to sell for profit unless you give some extra money back to them. Also I don’t think it’s right you buy up lots of stock and then sell it on for more money meaning other people can’t buy it at the cheap price
