    I don't know. He sold them in the town centre off a stall. He might have sold them online too.

    Either way, he was a very happy chap and it obviously works out profitable.

    Well done that guy, ok he sells some stuff that's a bit low value, but he's obviously successful, more power to his elbow I say.

    I've just bought a couple of retractable USB charge leads off eBay for the total grand sum of £5.00 on Buy it Now, call them tat if you like, but I need them and the guy probably makes a decent profit.

    I'm sure many sales organisations that employ thousands of people have started in this way, there's no shame in building a business that obviously fills a need. I'd bet that this bloke has a more successful business selling "tat" than 99.9% of us have.

    "We keep focussed on popular consumables. Our biggest sellers are all items with a value of less than £15 - accessories for iPod's and mobile phones, gadgets, and electronic toys - low value goods with a high volume and decent profit margin.
    A.K.A - Tat.

    There is a plan B for someone - open a shop selling tat.

    Has anyone here done that?
