what would you bring back?

My partner has gone to America and he wants to bring some bits back to sell on ebay (obviously for profit), only problem is I can't think for the life of me what would be small/light/useable in the uk and make the MOST profit.

Any ideas are more than welcome

we bought a lot (and i mean a lot) of designer clothes for my little girl, she was 5 at the time, kids stuff by tommy filfiger, celvin klien, timberland and osh gosh sell really well and we made a nice profit even though it was sold as second hand.

please don't forget that there is a Customs issue with bringing goods back into the country, I have no idea what the value of goods is but there was big newspaper interest when Wayne Rooney's girlfriend came home with lots of new stuff and got major fines because the value was over the limit.

psp and ipod's i thought of and he's checking the prices in america but looking through ebay, there are all sorts of price some selling for less than they would cost in usa so that's where i'm stumped. I dont want to sell for less than the cost price but i also don't want to be left with expensive items. i also thought about digital camera memory cards like sd and mx picture cards but again there are people who sell loads cheap on ebay already

Go to Hot Topic (found in most towns you can check on hottopic.com) and buy whatever you can get of their clearance racks. Its an alternative clothing store and its very popular with buyers. I have made loads selling hottopic stuff which i bought dirt cheap in its sales. Even if you buy full price stuff there is still good profit to be made as the exchange rate is so good.

Have a look on ebay for the kind of stuff to grab. Its a great money maker even if you don't know anything about goths, punks and emo!

My best profits have been care bears hoodies which i bought for $8 in their christmas sale and sold for £45 each...that was a good month!!

as of the last buget the limit was raised from £136 to £1000 per person, for personal use of course

is that true???? where can i find more detailed info?

its difficult to know where to start looking for that kind of info, i tried the american embassy and the airline he flew with but it seems to be a bit confussing depending on what part of america and stuff
