Tiercel 6,986 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 It is surprising what little niches there are out there to make money on. I have one on ebay if I see one at a bootsale I always buy them, never more than a pound or two and usually make well over 20 quid. But as you say fashions change and you have to be at it all the time, otherwise you tend to lose touch. I am just getting back into it after a few years away and it's suprising how much has changed in 4 years. It's just a matter of finding the new niches. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
