I now run a small Facebook group where we tip each other about deals in stores, And make bundles & product listings for stuff to sell on AMazon and Ebay.
For example, Matchmakers Gift Bundle from Tesco. Cost 6 x 75p = £4.50. Then Clubcard plus for 10% off! £4.05. Then buy a 5% Gift card to pay for it, so it's down to £3.85. Use a cashback card 1% to buy the gift card. 3.85p, so down to £3.81, and then of course you get 1% in points on the £4.05 so that's 4p. So in total a cost of £3.77!
Matchmakers Chocolates: 6 Box Gift Bundle: (6 x 120g) - 3 Fantastic Flavours: Cool, Mint, Zesty Orange, Maple & Pecan: Amazon.co.uk: Grocery
And the selling price! £13.99! Easy money.
But I guess to answer Andy's question, buyers are probably people who don't have easy access to such tasty tidbits?"I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

I'm guilty of taking the easy option on several occasions but I do take Amazon pricing with a large pinch of salt.Comment
