What I've learned from buying on John Pye auctions & reselling for extra income 

This was one of the most honest review of buying at auctions.

Thanks for making this video, you are a great teacher/salesman and can explain things in great details and easy to understand. I just seen John Pye, big on dozen items, but when the invoice came it came to 777 pounds, with initial 500... So I thought,well I can get all of those products from eBay and have no risk of it being broken upon arrival... So I will not be buying anything. Thanks for your advice again and all the best mate.

Really enjoyed this video. Helped me a lot been looking for something this informative.

Great video, really thorough and insightful. Thank you!

This is really good advice! I get emotional when buying no doubt 😂

Great video and fantastic explanation. I spent about £500 this morning on a few different items on JP auctions for the first time so I’ll see how that works out. The 22% buyer fee was something I’d taken into account, along with the other costs, but it is a bit gut wrenching to pay it :). I’d be interested to hear about your drop shipping experience in a follow up video.

I myself have been trying investing and any kind of side hustle to make money outside of my 9-5 job, great video, I have been using ebay as product research for some time however i dont find it too reliable. Although its a great way to tell which items are higher in demand I personally dont thing it shows you all the information. I see bidded items on ebay all the time with current bids on, on just that day. Sometimes more than one, but going into the sold filter you only see a couple. Another thing to avoid ebay and paypal charges is through gumtree/ facebook marketplace. Although its my first time now using johnpye my first payment is a dud due to my poor calculations, i may break even on 2 brand new rechargable batteries. Ive also just bid and won on 3 tomtom 6100’s which almost looks brand new and in box hopefully they come working, totalling £193. Which returns around £130-£180. The great thing about facebook marketplace if you manage to pick up items really cheap, especially popular cheap items or smellies/clothes Which ive seen going for really high prices on ebay compared to johnpye, is that you can cut the price alot and make it look alot more appetising to the buyers. I could sell these for 100 no problem giving they are not duds making around 40 on each, but expecting to sell for £150 plus.

How can you tell if item is working or not

Given you a sub, you should keep up with your videos and try and make them more frequent, would love to see your channel grow, and see how far you can get with you experimenting/success

John Pye used to be good, but now, it looks like too many people there bidding. For example, I was looking at Mitre saw the other day, The exact model on eBay is selling new for about 210, yet the item on JP was at least used but sold for a max bid of approx £130. So overall with delivery and fees, you're about the same price as the new one!!! So overall margin for profit nowadays will be very fin and risk very high. My profit used to come mainly from eBay fees, as I only listed when I had the £1 offer.

Also be aware that if you are buying with the intention of reselling you have to declare on self assessment tax return and pay and tax due over and above all the costs mentioned in this video. ☺☺☺ The margins are very slim

What did you use for your dropshipping business? Ebay again? Look into shopify with facebook ads that is my next move, however its getting very saturated and delivery times are becoming much more of a problem when competing with amazon primes next day. Im looking to get into it but then slowly start to get in bulk and order these items to the UK in a fulfillment centre to get items sent out faster. I will also be looking to getting into the branding of things which i think is the way dropshipping is heading. I would love to hear if this has become successful for you and if my johnpye experience goes well i will continue it until i get abit more income to start dropshipping properly as facebook ads can add up.

have you looked at buying and selling the luxury watched on there to maybe have bigger margins and make more money?

Just started buying some things and realised that the profit margins were wiped out by all the fees they put on the items. Ridiculous. Are there any items with good profit margins you’ve encountered?

Be carefull you will lose your money for thing. I bought stuff from Johnpye; sony wireless earphones, LG XBOOM Bluetooth speaker, 4 hair clippers, 2 Sony earbuds, a laptop and none of them are working all worth 100s of pounds.

thanks for the quality advice

Honest review 🫡

Everything I have bought from John pye has been damaged. I’m a casual buyer. Would not recommend. EBay much better.

cheers mate. basically johnpye aint really worth the effort!

Awful sound
