Hi all,
I have recently signed up to the GAP service and have completed a few of the client specific certification tests. I failed one of them on a question and just wanted to know if I am forever forbidden to complete mystery shops with that specific company? Or is there a time limit on your restriction so you can complete the test again?
Thank you

Your failed result will remain forever - and you won't be able to take it again as, after 2 years, I'm still unable to do a pizza place.

Ah that's a shame. It was a pizza one for me too. Thanks for letting me know

Thanks for all the alerts Big Graeme! I'm slacking of late!!! Much appreciated xx

It's OK, doesn't really matter who alerts as long as we don't miss some juicy jobs :-)

I think the only GAP pizzas now are the delivery ones - the eat in ones seem to have finished.

Has anyone seen the car visits on ESA with a ridiculous fee for what is involved?

Yup, they tried this the last time and had to nearly double the fee to get most of them done, BARE are at it too.

Thanks for the reply.

The same sort of jobs on TNS have attracted well over double the fee, just hope people see sense and don't do them

Hi, I have been video mystery shopping for just over a year now and unfortunately need to hang up my boots due to personal circumstances changing. I bought all of my equipment from Dogcam in late 2011, so it is around 15 months old.

I have:
1 PV500 EVO
2 BTU-18 cameras
1 Extra large battery (in addition to the normal sized battery)
1 double battery charger
All in original boxes and packaging.with all accessories included.

I have removed the safety pins from the microphones of the cameras, as for my set up I had them taped to the camera unit.
Apart from that one thing, everything is in the same condition as I bought it, and in perfect working order.

I still have the receipts, which add up to approx £745.
Of course I would like to recoup as much as possible and would prefer to sell it as one lot for convenience, so I wonder if this is the best place to sell my equipment, or should I risk an online auction site?

Any help would be gratefully received; please feel free to PM me.

Also offer it in the FB/MS forums if you're a member of any of them. There's always people looking to buy kit.

You can do a Classified listing on ebay, I'd be wary of an auction unless you put a realistic reserve as I saw a camera go on there for very little and this is a good amount of kit from a reputable supplier.

Good luck!
