Pitch it to the right market and you could be on a winner. John Lewis are displaying flowery tea sets for garden/summer dining...check their website.

Wow so if you got £5 a piece its a £240 profit. Even if its only £2 a piece you will get 10x what you paid for it.

Re: eBay, do your research about what you are buying first, so that you have an idea what the price should be when new etc...

I always read the description fully before making a purchase, including postage/delivery charges, and return policy.

I also read the feedbacks, especially the neutral and negative ones to establish if they are genuine issues, or just newbies with unrealistic expectations.

Beware of cheap items with stonking postage and packaging charges. For many listings, the P&P is for a single item, and if you buy multiples of the same item, you pay multiple P&Ps! Always ask for combined shipping reduction even if they are not on offer.

Remember to ask questions BEFORE you bid, because if your bid ends up being the winning one, you'll have to cough up, regardless whether you have had replies for all your queries. Otherwise the seller can file a complaint against you for non-payment.

I love sniping on eBay when time allows, as in placing a bid very close to the closing time, in the hope to bag a bargain.

I have had some fantastic buys on eBay, and only a handful of duff ones!

Have fun!

These feckers that work in charity shops have caught on, anything that's worth anything gets put into the back room and sent to auction rooms.
