    Just a note of caution. Its all very well buying up Xmas stock and the like but what could you do with that money in the 10 months until the Xmas rush starts again.

    I would have expected to turn that money over at least 20 times in that period.

    he buys a few of some items from 99p stores and sells out all the time
    best bootfairs are the ones near holidays camps :D
