0:00 What's up, guys? Back with another video. And today, we're obviously doing pictures, but I've just had an order come through. So, we all know I'm trying to expand this business and eventually hit £50,000 profit in a year. To be able to do that, I need to buy a lot of units. How do you do that? Well, wholesale is a good option. And I keep seeing a lot of people harp on about this fleek, which is almost like a market, not a marketplace, but it kind of is, but it's an advertisement of loads of different wholesalers, and they all put listings up of what sort of clothes they offer, and then you can order them. I guess that's exactly what I've done. I've got three boxes here full of jumpers and jackets. 75 pieces to be exact. And that cost me about 560 something like that. So it works out at about 78 probably about £8 per piece which is quite high. So they kind of have to be quite good. Anyway, I'm going to get these boxes over to the unit and we're going to do a little unboxing session.
1:15 see if this Fleek app is any good or this particular supplier is any good because that'd be quite nice to do the, you know, the odd wholesale and if it's good, I'll share my little referral code with you guys and yeah, you can get some money off your order. So, yeah, let's go do that. Okay, so I'm just going to shut the door because otherwise All you'll hear is wind.

22:39 G Star Raw Jacket. It's quite nice actually. Nautica reversible. might be a reversible one. And last up. Yeah. Addy power stained jacket.
23:15 [sighs] Crap. So, it's a few weeks after the fact of, you know, all that unboxing and as you can tell in the video, I was getting quite frustrated, but I think I overreacted a little bit. It wasn't that bad. Luckily, all the stains came out and currently I think we're about two and a half weeks after receiving that delivery. So pictured them all and put them on eBay and we've sold 28 of the 75 items and that has netted us a profit of £527.
23:58 So when you think it was £560 because I was so frustrated I complained to Fleek. Their customer service was pretty good actually and I managed to get 20 pounds off which isn't loads but it's something. So the total order was about £540. So we're very very close to break even. So there's still plenty of profit to be made. It's just a matter of when. At the moment breaking even after two weeks ain't ain't bad, is it? It's actually really quite good. So yeah, on a whole I think I overreacted a bit. If you do want to do similar to what I've done and buy off Fleek, then just use this referral code. I think you get £27 off your first order.
24:51 So yeah, use it wisely. Um, I would recommend Fleek. It's just it's a marketplace, isn't it? So, like Vintage, like eBay, there's good sellers, there's bad sellers. I have actually given it a second chance and have found a really good supplier. If you're going to use Fleek, just proceed with caution. Do your research. Use the £27 if you so wish. Wisely, get a small order. Not like me. I got quite a big one. It was a bit of a risk, but the risk is probably going to pay off in the end. And definitely definitely go for an exact bundle. So there's two types of bundles on Fleek. You get an exact one. So the video that's shown, you're getting exactly those items or you can get representative. So the video that is shown, you will get similar items to that. The only issue with that is they will just put any old stuff in there like the Eddie Bower and the Nautica stuff. Lesson learned there.
25:59 Poor ma. Anyway, I hope you found that video helpful or kind of funny watching me crash out after seeing all those stains and Eddie Bowers. Don't know why there's a spray bottle there. Nice part of the set, isn't it? Anyway, I'll leave it there and I will catch you in the next
