Entrepreneur earns ?500k a Year reselling Poundland Items

“So people buy those items online.” An entrepreneur has created a GBP500,000-a-year business by spending hours in shops like Poundland looking for bargains and selling his purchases at a higher price. Zain Shah, originally from Pakistan, also searches for bargains in Argos and charity shops after discovering he could resell many items at a higher price.

He first spotted a gap in the market after a customer asked for a specific set of earphones with a particular zip. Instead of buying one pair, Zain decided to buy 20. He quickly realised he could make a five-fold profit on them by advertising them for GBP9.99 rather than the GBP2 he paid for them.

Things snowballed and suddenly he found himself grabbing more deals and flipping them for larger profits. Eventually, Zain generated enough revenue to kickstart his own business and in 2022, he made a handsome profit, earning GBP500,000. This is in comparison to a decade ago when Zain was earning GBP7 an hour at a telecom company.

He says you cannot achieve anything without throwing caution to the wind. Zain said: “People might wonder why those people can’t go straight to Poundland.

“If somebody is living in a countryside, they don’t have Poundland close to them. So people buy those items online.

“The rule of business is if you’re not willing to take a risk you will always be working for someone who is willing to take a risk.” In addition to his business, Zain has launched a YouTube channel to allow people to take helpful hints from his success. In 2022, he revealed how one eBay user made GBP513 in the space of just seven days by reselling hanging baskets from Poundland.

Zain explained:

“That person has sold 86 of them within one week, he managed to make GBP513.42 profit, which is a very, very decent profit.”

The hanging baskets sell for GBP1 each in stores but the seller has been selling them online in packs of two for GBP13.10. In total, the seller has sold 86 units. Zain explains that selling the baskets in packs of two is a good idea as the postage costs remain similar but you can charge a higher price.

He then used a free eBay/Paypal online calculator to work out what the seller would have made in profit after shipping costs and eBay fees.

Escape with Singapore Airlines and let one of the world’s youngest fleets fly you to more than 60 cities in more than 30 countries across the globe, from Australia to Vietnam to Houston from Manchester. Connect seamlessly to more of Asia with its regional carrier SilkAir. The world is yours. Since its beginnings in 1947, Singapore Airlines has always strived to be at the top of its game. The history of Singapore Airlines tells a tale of reinvention and innovation that makes it the world’s most awarded airline. The story began back in 1947, when Malayan Airways Limited commenced the weekly Airspeed Consul twin-engine airliner flights from Singapore Kallang Airport to Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Penang. At the height of the golden Jet Age in 1966 the airline was renamed Malaysia-Singapore Airlines and in 1968 the custom-made sarong kebaya uniforms by French couture-designer Pierre Balmain – became the calling card of the brand. From 1972 the airline was known as Singapore Airlines and had launched its first transcontinental flights (the same year that the famous Singapore Girl came into existence). In 1977, British Airways and Singapore Airlines shared a Concorde for flights between London and Singapore International Airport. It delivered another first when it flew a commercial B747-400 aircraft across the Pacific in 1989 and once again when it broke its own world record for the longest non-stop commercial flight from Singapore to New York. Then, of course, there was the first commercial flight of an A380 in 2007. The airline continues to revolutionise itself with the philosophy of offering the best service in the air and on the ground. It has unveiled new cabin classes, invested in its lounges and introduced new mobile offerings, making it a great way to fly. Begin your next adventure to Asia, Australia and New Zealand in style with 5-Star Skytrax rated Singapore Airlines, the world’s most awarded airline. Recent accolades have included gongs for ‘Best Long-Haul Airline’ and ‘Most Recommended’ from the Guardian in 2016.

There are four daily flights from London Heathrow to Singapore, or you can hop on the direct daily flight from Manchester. From 31st October 2016 Singapore Airlines will operate its inaugural transatlantic flight connecting Manchester with Houston.
