something easily stolen, but has a big demand. I would suggest mobile phones, surveillance cameras, floodlights, fish.

So many sellers on there now that its hard to make a decent profit with anything you can easily get hold of on a wholesale basis.

Probably make a bit with designer clothes, but its a lot of hassle for not much return.

IME, the buyers are far wiser now. I've listed plenty of decent stuff that doesn't get a sniff now. There are far too many sellers and more and more selling direct from China/HK.

I doubt that anyone who knows something that is selling really well for a good profit is going to tell everyone else about it.....

Not much in designer clothing anymore. Too many cheap awful fakes going around and the vast majority would rather spend £20 on a fake xxxx jacket than £100 on an original.

Nice trade in stealing the stuff in the first place too. Mum & Dad were robbed recently - that was all they took, likewise other people in the same village. Make sure you UV Pen check the underside, if its got an LE12 postcode on the bottom - I want the ****** back

Could buy a box of red-top matches then sell them individually as disposable cigarette lighters.

Buy a box at 10p for 40

Sell at 20p a 'lighter'

£7.90 profit a box.
