‘A really nice Yamaha electric guitar in its original case, which was in the window for £40, I kept it for a little while but it didn’t quite suit me, sold it for £900. I felt a bit guilty so I ended up donating half of it back.’

‘Two binders of Pokemon cards. This must’ve been about 15 years ago, but over the two of those binders was the full set, including tens of shiny cards (including Charizard). They were near mint condition. I bought the two binders for £4 each. £8 in total.

I was a student at the time and struggling to pay rent, so I went through them all for nostalgia, then listed them on eBay and they sold for £700. That was about three months rent at the time, so it got me to the end of the semester.’
