Howmanheyman 27363 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Thanks lads, just fancy cosplaying as a market trader for a day. If it takes off I'll buy the toon and not only be better than the last del boy to own us but you'll change from hearing about human rights concerns to Howman rights concerns. (If I only make a few quid on the day I'll buy Sunderland instead). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 39021 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Price everything £5 more than you want to sell it for, then when people try to barter you can play the game and let them think they got a bargain. If they don’t barter and pay the price, sausage time! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30706 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 HMHM I would think retro second hand football shirts would do really well somewhere like that. Especially as I’m guessing a lot of it will be NUFC with the odd 90s Italiano classic hoyed in Have a look on https://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk for an idea about prices. Honestly sone of the prices are fucking mental. I’ve got a kappa top that was part of a Juve CL warm-up suit. It’s like jogging suit material rather than shell suit. The bottoms got wrecked but the top is in good condition and I saw one the same on there a while back for £250 the hipsters might have ruined the market for buyers but that’s obviously the opposite for sellers. The only issue might be convincing people there aren’t snides from the far east 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most are retro officials, Toffs, score draw, Copa and one or two genuine shirts as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don’t barter and pay the price, sausage time! I could swear a few year ago I read something about a study into online sales that looked into whether higher base prices with free shipping were more popular to buyers than the same item with combined price and shipping working out cheaper than the alternative. Hilariously, folk would flock toward the more expensive option that had "free shipping". If I mind right the catch was that the folk that went for the "free shipping" option were (by orders of fucking magnitude) more likely to return the it. Amazon have had us all for idiots. Hoodwinked half the population into paying a monthly subscription for their "free shipping and no questions asked return policy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offer free shipping on your stall. Hand the shirt over and say "There you go mate". 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will hammer my pension, but a brand new, taxed, insured, serviced car with free repairs and breakdown cover for £289pm is hard to beat. Particularly as I get free charging at work (for now) Just realised that once the lease car goes back I'll be over the threshold for child benefit, so losing another £102pcm 🤯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 39021 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Lesson 3 In An Occasional Series- Uncle Fist’s Travel Toilet Travails. Hot Tip- if caught short in a town centre with nowhere to have a piss, whilst empty thermos flasks will suffice, ensure you don’t shove your magnum dong too far in, otherwise … hot tip. Here endeth the lesson. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I'm having a weird stand off with an old mate that I could fucking swear I gifted one to but he's adamant I didn't. He runs a local pub so we have this situation where I stop by his work when I'm passing and he refuses to charge me for my first pint but makes a point of reminding me he never got his Mr Sparkle pedal. So I have like three more Mr Sparkle enclosures lying around that I'm stubbornly refusing to finish wiring up until the free Guinness well has dried up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a thought and encouragement for you to finish them, get that free guiness for life contract drawn up in exchange for the Mr Sparkle, shouldn't take you too long to get your money back! And when you do get them finished, flick me a message please as I'm keen for one also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll earmark one for you, been trying to multitask like a manic octopus since we moved again in November and struggling to keep up with things so I'm hesitant to offer much in terms of timeframe beside "sometime in February". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
