You have do do some research,...find out what people in your area are buying,...do you intend to sell locally,or further afield,..the stuff you have been looking at from China...is ok if you are going to re-sell them at a car boot sale...but don,t be fooled into thinking that they are going to be an antique of the future...because they are not....they will always be cheap chinese crap....

If you are buying to resell,, Put your walking boots on !!  Rarely are you going to find anything online that is worth the trouble !!  Especially adding in shipping costs !! Go to thrift stores, junk shops, garage sales, estate sales if they have them there !!
