These are all made in China, from...the rest of the worlds scrap metal....the chinese are churning this crap out...by the ton..if you are buying to sell on ...forget it...little or no profit..in these items....ebay is full of them......most advertise at a 99p start price....some with free postage...to UK that is..don,t know about.where you are in ..Middle Earth.....avoid like the plague...

You have do do some research,...find out what people in your area are buying,...do you intend to sell locally,or further afield,..the stuff you have been looking at from China...is ok if you are going to re-sell them at a car boot sale...but don,t be fooled into thinking that they are going to be an antique of the future...because they are not....they will always be cheap chinese crap....

If you are buying to resell,, Put your walking boots on !!  Rarely are you going to find anything online that is worth the trouble !!  Especially adding in shipping costs !! Go to thrift stores, junk shops, garage sales, estate sales if they have them there !!
