The first thing she recommended looking out for is shorts - both men's and women's - as she's made a decent profit on the ones she's sold.
She got a pair of Saltrock women's shorts for 50p, and made £5.45 selling them on, a pair of Animal women's board shorts she got on Vinted for £2 sold for a whopping £32.96, and a pair of Fat Face shorts she got for £2 sold for £9.95.
She also picked up two other pairs of men's shorts, for both of which she paid £1.50 each and made £13.45 profit.
Summer dresses are popular as the weather warms up, and a Saltrock one she got for 50p at the car boot nabbed her a profit of £9.45.
While a Seasalt Cornwall £1 dress sold for £17.95.
One of the biggest profit-makers for the mum were the vintage cameras she'd picked up, as she said they "sell very well on Vinted".
A Miranda one she got for 50p sold for £9.95, a £2 vintage camera sold for £29.95, a Canon PowerShot she paid £1 for at the car boot sold for £34.95 and a vintage Mekai camera she paid 50p for sold for £14.95.
Timeless T-shirts are as popular as ever, with a £1 Mason Newman one selling for £12.95 and a vintage Nike one she got in a reseller bundle from a wholesaler for £2.50 got her a profit of £27.45.
Meanwhile, a £1 linen playsuit sold for £10.95, and a £1 denim Zara jumpsuit nabbed her a profit of £18.95.
Lastly, the savvy reseller made £13.95 selling on a Craghoppers fleece, and made £4.15 profit per sale of debobbling machines - after paying £4 for 50 of them herself.
I made £550 in 48 hours reselling clothes but NOT on Vinted - I found a platform where sellers get the full asking price -
She concluded her video by showing that she'd spent £20.03, and emerged with a total profit of £269.85.
"Wow I'm massively under pricing my stuff. I have hundreds to sell!" one person commented on the TikTok video.
With the mum advising: "Use eBay to research sold prices to help you as a guide".
"That's a bangin' profit!" another praised.
What is retail arbitrage and how does it work?
Retail arbitrage just means reselling a product on for profit.
It is completely legal in the UK, as, once you own an item, you have the right to resell it.
Using an app called BuyBotGo, resellers scan items they find in the supermarket, and the app tells them how much the products are selling for on Amazon, and how many times they have been sold in the past month.
The reseller will make a profit on the items by reselling them using Amazon FBA.
Amazon FBA is a service that online sellers can use, where Amazon takes care of the storing, packing and shipping of your products.
So all the reseller has to do is send the products off to Amazon and wait for the money to roll in.

Excluding colleagues from food run could be ‘victimisation'
Excluding your colleague from a food run could be a breach of workplace laws, according to a new tribunal ruling. Deliberately leaving a co-worker out when buying food for other colleagues could amount to victimisation, the judgment suggests. It comes after a Scottish removals firm worker won a victimisation case after he was left out of a food run to a burger van. Sean McGhie won £5,500 after his manager Brian Donaldson bought everyone an item from the burger van apart from Mr McGhie. 'Childish' Mr Donaldson had been upset with Mr McGhie because he reported him for using a slur. Mr McGhie, who is gay, won a claim of victimisation at Glasgow employment tribunal as well as harassment over another slur made by a colleague. In UK employment law, victimisation occurs when someone is treated poorly due to being involved in a discrimination or harassment complaint. Glasgow employment tribunal heard Mr McGhie started working for RHT Scotland in August 2023 in Inverkeithing in Fife as a fitter. 'He makes no secret of the fact that he is gay,' the hearing was told. 'He was comfortable discussing aspects of his sexuality with fellow employees. 'The fact that he was gay prompted male colleagues to ask him questions about his sex life and to discuss theirs. 'There was often such 'banter' between employees which [he] participated in relating to explicit sexual matters.' However, the tribunal heard Mr McGhie felt he was bullied by Mr Donaldson, who called him 'Mr Clean' because he 'took an interest in his appearance', regularly cleaning and washing his clothes. In October 2023, Mr McGhie and Mr Donaldson worked together at a site in Glasgow. 'Homophobic slur' The tribunal heard that the colleagues had an argument about commuting to work. It was told: 'In the course of the argument [Mr Donaldson] referred to Mr McGhie as 'You wee woofter'. '[Mr McGhie] was taken aback and shocked at this comment. 'He asked [Mr Donaldson] to repeat it which he then did slowly and deliberately emphasising the words and looking [Mr McGhie] in the face. '[He] responded by saying that's uncalled for' and left [Mr Donaldson]'s presence.' Mr McGhie felt 'mortified' by the incident and reported it, the tribunal heard. 'The intent of this comment was to insult and it resulted in me walking off a job,' he said. 'I don't think my sexuality should be spoken about in a degrading manner as a result of a disagreement.' Mr Donaldson argued that the remark was 'banter' and that he had used it as he 'thought it may defuse the situation'. He eventually apologised for making a 'homophobic slur'. The following month, however, the tribunal heard he pulled a door closed as Mr McGhie approached it carrying heavy boxes of paper. In the same month, he said 'it f---ing stinks in here' while looking at Mr McGhie as he walked into a room which smelt strongly of onions, the panel was told. Then, Mr Donaldson left him out of a food run. The panel found that Mr McGhie was victimised. 'Intimidating or punishing' Employment Judge James Hendry said: 'This was on one level childish (such as the exclusion from food bought at the burger van) but coming from [Mr McGhie]'s supervisor who held a position of authority over him and given the background circumstances in which these behaviours occurred they are not wholly trivial. 'It was clear that [Mr Donaldson] had not really accepted that he had been in the wrong nor had he truly apologised for his behaviour. 'He was still intent on intimidating or punishing [Mr McGhie]. He still bore a grudge about being disciplined. 'To his employer he minimised his fault but in acting this way to [Mr McGhie] he chose to undermine and intimidate him at a time when he was already upset from the earlier incident.'

Gary Neville hits out at Labour over taxes despite earlier support
Gary Neville has criticised Labour's national insurance rise in a sign of discontent from one of Sir Keir Starmer's most high-profile supporters. The former Manchester United and England footballer, who interviewed Starmer for Labour's election broadcast last year, said the government had been wrong to make it harder for businesses to employ staff. Neville said the economy was 'not settling' and added that Rachel Reeves, the chancellor, should have held off on the contentious £25 billion increase in employer national insurance. The former right-back was one of Labour's most vocal supporters and before the election was a big backer of Starmer personally, having previously appeared at the party's conference to urge people to 'get behind' their leader, whom he described as a 'serious politician'. He has a range of business interests in property, hotels and football and has joined other senior executives and entrepreneurs in their criticism of Reeves' decision to raise the cost of employment. 'I honestly don't believe that companies and small businesses should be deterred from employing people. So, I think the national insurance rise was one that I feel probably could have been held back, particularly in terms of the way in which the economy was,' he told Sky News. 'It's been a tough economy now for a good few years, and I did think that once there was a change of government, and once there was some stability, that we would get something settling,' he said. 'But it's not settling locally in our country, but it is not settling actually, to be fair, in many places in the world either.' Neville was more supportive of an increase in the minimum wage, which rose 6.7 per cent in April to £12.21 an hour, saying: 'I don't think we can ever criticise the government for increasing the minimum wage. I honestly believe that people should be paid more so I don't think that's something that you can be critical of. I do think that the national insurance rise, though, was a challenge.' Neville revealed in 2022 that he had joined Labour, saying at the time that the party 'has to come towards the centre'. At last year's election, Starmer filmed a half-hour interview with Neville walking in the Lake District, which became a key element of the party's campaign. Starmer said he would be 'ready to deliver from the get-go' and acknowledged: 'Tax levels now are the highest for 70 years, so we can't just go and pull the tax lever.' Neville warned him that 'the country are just desperately disappointed, just generally, in politicians'. Speaking on Wednesday, Neville said conditions were 'really tough' for UK businesses that were finding their margins squeezed by rising costs. 'It's tough. It's really, really tough because cost of products has gone up, cost of everything, utilities, rents, everything, has gone up,' Neville said. 'It is challenging at this moment in time — there are certain sectors where it's tough to operate, just purely because of rising costs and people finding it tough to be able to find the money to go and support those local businesses.'

Burnley offer virtual reality seat for fans
LONDON, July 30 (Reuters) - Newly-promoted Premier League team Burnley are offering their fans a virtual reality viewing experience, meaning they can enjoy being at the club's Turf Moor stadium from their room. A partnership with VR experts Rezzil will mean a 'first-of-its-kind' immersive broadcast of Burnley's pre-season friendly on Aug. 9 against Italian club Lazio. Fans who acquire special headsets will be able to take a virtual seat inside the stadium, complete with match day commentary and in-stadium audio. "It reflects our forward-thinking approach to fan engagement and our commitment to global supporters," Burnley chairman Alan Pace said. "Our mission is to provide the best experiences to fans, and by entering into the world of Virtual Reality, they can get closer to the game than ever before." Manchester-based company Rezzil provides VR technology to help train athletes and provide analysis in various sports and last year signed a four-year partnership deal with the Premier League aimed at revolutionising fan engagement. "We're thrilled to collaborate with Burnley FC and the Premier League to bring fans a truly next-generation football experience," said Andy Etches, co-founder of Rezzil. "Our technology has long been trusted by elite athletes to sharpen performance, and now we're using that same technology to bring it to supporters. It's a new way to watch football; it's like having a seat in the stands."
