What Would Be Your Opinion On Someone With This Business?
15 Answers
Just looking for opinions on this
What would you think of someone who had a small local business selling old/vintage toys and retro games etc. However they obtained their stock from places like car boots/charity shops for cheap and resold for more?
Is there nothing wrong with this or is looked down upon by some? I know that some people hold a grudge against resellers

When we were selling antiques at craft fairs our main 'suppliers' were auction houses and charity shops. We would buy a box of what someone had classed as junk for £3, find two or three items that, after some research, we could really mark up and sell at the fairs.
The rest of the junk we would sell on car boots.
Did it for about 5 years, really enjoyed it and made a fair few quid.
