It’s Sunday morning and I’m feeling dashes are crazy honest today I should be getting some better footage for you anyway because I’ve treated myself to a new camera or should I say I’ve treated you to a new camera rather than the GoPro that you used to be using I have

Got an insta 360 a pro which by all accounts performs a lot better in low light and that’s one thing we have a lot of at this time in the morning on a Sunday when we go to a car boot sale really need to wake myself up though

Let’s go and get a coffee before we hit the road and see what we can Find so one of the reasons for getting this new camera is because the GoPro performed quite badly in poor light so I’m hoping this is improved exponentially might even be able to see what I’m doing when I watch the footage back oh it’s looking like it’s going to

Be a busy day at Bolton very exciting this might be me completely completely losing a plot I think a boot sale has a smell to it say some weird in the morning it does though it’s kind of like I suppose all the market stuff it smells a little bit of

Wash and powder today which is a pleasant change because sometimes it smells like weed as well it’s just occurred to me as well it’s probably a good job this camera is operates well in po light because like a complete Muppet I forgot my torch oh wasn’t it wakey wakey

Davey I think this counts as the car Bo S Walk a shame walking back to the car cuz you forg got your George I’ve pared miles away this time as well well not miles away miles away for a fat bloke super Dr waxed no come can’t remember last time I

Yeah yeah what is oh brilliant I bought 100 pairs of shoes on Friday I know yeah thought you must have a big unit no no well usually I managed to just get it listed get it all up at the um have a container yeah no room for these shoes

They’re all boxed as well and the brand new as well oh that’s yeah exactly so the they’ll go for decent money but they’ll just take a while to shift yeah I’m trying to put off getting anywhere commercial like so I might I did have two containers I give one of them up cuz

I just wasn’t using it now I’m getting to the stage where I’m thinking could have could have done with keeping that really yeah for what it cost it’s like £135 a month yeah and or just to have it out the house just for God’s end but

Yeah yeah I don’t know cuz are you not seeing anybody then at all or no no no cuz if I brought this the amount of stuff that you bring on my Miss like do one exactly yeah yeah every cloud and all that right I’ll crack up buddy you have

A good day I’ll see you later ra fun times at B and boot sale some great finds today as well a bit of a slower start which seems to be the I was going to say it seems to be the the thing in a minute but it’s probably

Because I’m turning up earlier it’s only just I don’t know that’s only just occurred to me as well I’m turning up for about 5:00 and just walking around not really doing anything for an hour I brought the GoPro as a backup today cuz I’ve only got one battery for

The insta the minute that’s why you’ve just seen that seamless transition where was I yeah turning up early maybe I’m turning up too early that’s why I’m wandering around doing not very much but I guess it’s habit now and I don’t mind I mean it really really

Is hard work getting up in the morning as you can probably tell by the intro the reason I do that incidentally is because I think it’s really important for people who are thinking about getting into reselling particularly to know that it’s not easy to get your ass

Out of bed at that time of the morning it is a drag but in pretty much all instances when it comes to car boot cells you’ve got to turn up early to be in with a chance of getting anything decent you’ve got to it’s a shame that’s

The way it is but that’s definitely the way it is starting today there’s actually another boot sale in North Manchester which is only probably about another 20 minute drive or something like that it would be nice to go there for the first day ever there but I’ve

Got so much on so much on a mountain issues to get through at home but also I want to hear what the word is on the Great Vine not that I allow that to sway my my decision making in any way sh perform I always much to the rhythm of

My Own Drum but that’s not to say that I don’t keep an eye on things as well anyway enough waffle uh I’m going to go home and have a nap and then wrap this up in a little while I’ll see you in a bit now I’ve had my nap I’m kind of

Wishing that I went to that afternoon boot sale that’s just open up in Manchester but what a great day again Bolton knocking it out of the park Spirits only slightly dampened by a creaming in down a muddy bank I should have been filming that shouldn’t I you

Could have had a laugh at my expense I’ll try harder next time let’s get into what I picked up today anyway this is the lovely spread some high value stuff as well uh jumping right into it these two military issue day sacks the first of which is a command a commander day

Sack I paid £40 for both of these uh Commander day sack that’s going to have a listing value of £80 would you believe um that’s a 45 L the second is a 60 L Bulldog tactical desac that all have a listing value of £60 this really nice condition Alpine Stars jacket and I’m

Almost convinced this is a woman’s jacket uh because it’s a large and it looks quite small for a large to be fair so I’m thinking might be a woman’s large I could be wrong I’ll do the measurements but it’s in spectacular condition paid £30 for this jacket

Though which is very high from a boot sell for a textile jacket I mean that’s sort of like a quality leather jacket but this is safe money because the brand Alpine stars is a great brand anyway cool colorway on it as well the monster design and additional external armor on

It as well all good selling points that’ll have a listing value of £70 another pair of gortex ACU boots brand spanking new in the box paid the same for these as I did the last pair I bought I did actually revise my listing when I went to I think I said I would

List them for about 150 incidentally I paid £65 for these same as the last pair but I’ve actually listed them for for £40 a bit of attention at the minute but obviously no movement on the sales but they’ll get listed for the same this really really nice pair of high top Vans

£5 pay for these if these were just a a plain pair I probably want to pick these up at that price but they’ve got a really cool design on them and I’m feeling a listing value of3 on those they just need a wipe a wipe down around

The bottom more ACU boots and it confirms what I was saying last week that ACU don’t specifically just make military Footwear these are women’s boots are air 8000 gortex boots in a size five really cool actually I think these will do very very well pay 2020 for these they’ll have a listing value

Of 50 GH Bass Shoes definitely worth looking out for not exactly the the highest end of Brands but a very good quality Footwear these look in spectacular condition as well paid £15 for those they’re going to have a listing value of between £ 35 and

40 Sanders shoes I saw the brand and I had to have them Sanders they’re on a power with L as far as quality is concerned made in England shoes those have got a really really funky design to them as well great quality great great quality shoes paid £18 for both of these

Pairs of shoes and they’ll have a listing value of 30 to 40 having a good at these These are from the guy I bought my very very com W Keen shoes from Salamon socks Salamon is a brand that’s very very synonymous with hiking and hanking Gear boots and that kind of

Trekking footwear and clothing I only did a little bit of research on these I paid £5 each for them and I’m going to say they’re going to have a lisan value of 15 to 20 however if my non- tired research uh contradicts that valuation I’m not too gutted actually because

These are really great socks and and I’ll keep them for myself Marino wool as well tag price is £ 28 and having bought hiking socks just recently I know how expensive they are and I winced when I I went to go Outdoors to buy mine brand you’ve seen me pick up countless times

Hotter shoes great quality shoes again these are brand spanking new in the size five hotter Hamlet shoes I’ve definitely sold this model before they’re Beauty about hotter shoes is in on the inside where the size is it actually tells you the model so if you pick picking these

Up without the box you can tell which model they are straight away without without doing too much research it helps checking eBay solds as well if you’ve got the model10 pay for those they’ll have a listing value of £30 now I’ve got a feeling about these shoes I won’t

Repeat what it says on the box because it’s it it’s rude original Footwear these are West Coast Chopper boots not phenomenal amount of evidence for these and looking at them in the proper daylight they that look Navy rather than black to me I would have prep preferred for them to be in

Black three pairs and I paid 15 each for them there are comps for these exact trainers they do sell albeit not very regularly but that’s the evidence I used to support the valuation of a listing value of between 45 and 50 a pair I’m not sure where I edited it in the last

Video I think this might be not on consecutive weeks but certainly over the last month I picked up three TCM son TCM players both of the other two that I picked up the TCM 939 sold within a couple of days for 30 quid this is a slightly older one this is the TCM

919 only paid 3 for this one though there no power with it but they take batteries battery compartment’s clean but looking at it and I didn’t actually look like an idiot I didn’t actually look all I was at the boot sale if you can see in there it looks like a piece

Of that end piece is missing so it’s not the end of the world not the end of the world at all um I’m going to assume that snacked that battery compartment so it can’t be tested on batteries but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work at all I’ve

Got a universal multi head jobby DC adapter that I can test it on the power if that works the damage on it will devaluate my initial listing value will put that at 25 but with that damage as long as it works probably 15 to8 I would say AT3 though was worth taking

The risk that it didn’t work and finally couple of Lego sets the very lovely lady who I’ve bought from on a few occasions now did a deal for me uh she had them up at £5 each I paid £40 for the pair this is obviously bonsai tree Lego set

10281 and these are going to have a listing value of £53 each it’s important to say that when I started reselling I was picking up quite a lot of low value items and now my trainer thought is spend up on items that are better quality uh preferably

New uh preferably stuff that I don’t really have to test or spend any time on and the reason for that is well basically for what I just said the time element if I’m generating a turnover on 20 items that I used to be generating on a 100 items then that’s a considerable

Time saving and that time can be invested in working on efficiencies in looking for other sourcing Avenues so on and so forth so time is a really really big important factor to me and one thing I would recommend actually I would never ever in a million years pontificate

About stuff like this but one thing that I would highly highly recommend is you do something along the same lines look to be not necessarily leveling up but focus on how much time you’re spending on what you’re doing because time’s really expensive the more you value your

Time it’s logical to come to the conclusion the more return you’ll get for it I hope that makes sense anyway now I know I said I was going to go further a field this week but if I’ll show you actually um why I’m not going further a field I’ve got a mountain to

Climb if you follow me on Instagram you’ll already know this so they’re actually spread out a bit of a minute I picked up a hundred pairs of shoes um this is only this is some of them um but been sorting them out into the models there is a lot to get sorted

Out so this coming week I’m probably not going to be doing any sourcing at all I’m going to be climbing that mountain getting those shoes listed getting everything that I picked up today listed in fact this week is just going to be a listing Marathon as always guys if you

Saw anything that I missed today please let me know in the comments section of this video I don’t necessarily know what you know and your knowledge is just invaluable to me and before you leave me if you can give the video a thumbs up and obviously if you’re not already
