The New Thread

harvestmoon

Thank you.
However page one this thread doesn't explain how the glitch actually works just the current offers.
How do I locate the previous threads as I suspect they explain what i need to do.
Thanks

David.

Well lets give the sad moaners on here something to get their teeth into. I bought 6 of the Desired hair straighteners for £8 and flogged them on ebay making nearly £100 profit. An hour or so of work and it saved me working a day off to make up my wages to pay the bills. Someone else got the overtime (its allocated on a fair basis so someone else stepped up and got overtime they wouldn't have been allocated) and I got to spend quality time with family.
Oh there were 12 on the shelf so there were still 6 left for someone else. Yep wish I had got all 12 now but didn't know how they would go.
So if I had got 12 then two others could have benefited from the overtime, and I could have afforded to spend two days with family that I would have had to work.

Is the problem here actually greed? Or jealousy?

Have you not heard of capital gains allowance?Within reason anyone can buy and sell things for profit.

All I can think of is jealousy... but in fairness also people don't like braggers. We all know those who are in debt up to their eyeballs and swagger around showing off their new car, new watch, new phone etc... we know we prefer our financial situation but still find their behaviour annoying. Henlans shows what any of us could have done, and I think some people are a tiny bit envious of that. I just feel niggled he is either avoiding tax or fiddling benefits by not declaring his profits.

I have tried to make a few people look inside themselves tonight by trying to think why Henlans gets on their wick. As I keep saying, the glitch (and it is a glitch not a policy) is still very much on, and we can still amass mega cheap stuff from Asda. So what he (and others) have done doesn't affect our ability to carry on regardless.

think you just love this subject chris,
your 2 posts above boasting about you buying to sell and not needing to pay tax, yet it niggles you when someone else does the same.
pot/kettle/black springs to mind:)

The reason for the call was this



The issue last year was nothing to do with what happened last year. I wanted to point that out.

They was talking about me in the post and I wanted to put my point across. The point is that even if it was £8,670 thats the value in goods, I have never made that money. I wanted to point out that the products I bought was for me and my family and that any money made from product sold was the money I had laid out in the first place. Which would mean that I get loads of goodies for free and we would save money in the future.

I will say I can honestly say that I made nothing out of it. I think im within my rights to say what I said.

The story was there before I contact them, I never added anything that was not allready published.

However, as running a business, you are sat on stock of £8670, so if you look at the net value of the business, if you take the £1200 cash used as a loan, which was repaid by the sale of £1200 of stock, then your left with £7470 in stock value. Therefore over the period of trading you have increased the net worth of the business/made a profit of £7470, which could be taxable.

My knowledge is more about Ltd Companies than Sole Traders, which is what you would be classed as, but IMO it is a grey area.

I would be thinking about keeping some of the better stock to sell incase I was asked to pay a tax bill........

Hi Harvestmoon, there is no step by step guide as such. We all help as much as we can, and there are instructions and lists on the first page of the thread.

Other than that, its a matter of reading back, taking notes and getting the hang of it, theres no manual - but there is lots of information there.

Well you certainly convinced the press that they could get away with saying you made £8670 - an interestingly detailed fgure - who did the maths for them? They say you told them 'I am making anything from £5 to £600 a day," which you must admit does sound like income not value of goods.
And lets be honest, driving the APGs hard like you said you were you should certainly have been making money. Even if you used it to pay for quite a bit of other shopping its still income not goods value.
If you weren't making on it in some way - and remember goods stocked for the future are costs saved and thus income for the future, then what was the point?

Noone said you were outside your rights to say what have told the press but a number feel you were not right to do it and don't really see the logic of you doing it either.

Yes the material for the story was already there but they were never going to print it unless someone came forward with enough info - so you can't use that to impy you were not responsible for the story.

The damage is done and we all move on but I for one would love toknow what you thought you might achieve in going to the press.
