I know a woman who owns more cook books than most people… yet she rarely ever cooks anything other than shop bought ready meals which usually need popping into the microwave or oven.
She does very little actual food preparation and cooking.
The amount of mouth watering dishes available to her in those books must number several hundred yet I would put money on the fact that she has not attempted to make more than 10% of them.
And I am being generous there!
Recently her daughter spent a day helping her to clear out the spare room and throw away a lot of the unused stuff she had collected over the years.
This included a couple of boxes full of old cookery books… except that she changed her mind the following day and decided that she wanted to keep them… even though they had been stored in the spare room for many years unused.
It’s bad enough holding on to things that you never use, but it is worse to keep buying things which you know that you have a history of never using.
It’s not just cookery books; she has a habit of buying cooking implements from shopping channels which she uses once or twice at the most.
Her kitchen cupboards are full of pots, pans and equipment which never get used. Her cutlery draw has more knives and forks than a large hotel.
She struggles to throw anything away.
You may be thinking ‘I know someone like that too John, but what’s your point?’
The point of this email is that people:
- Buy things and never or hardly ever use them… and they know that!
- Collect stuff and struggle to throw away stuff they never use because… you know… they may use it one day or it could come in useful… but it never does… and they know that!

People love to buy and own ‘stuff’ whether they use it or not.
People are collectors. They love to collect and own things.
Well people like to convince themselves that they are collectors.
In my opinion, if a collection is not on show, used or lovingly tended to, then the person is not a collector, they are a hoarder.
Either way, what other people choose to do is not of my concern… unless what they do helps me to make money.
We have established that people love to buy stuff for no other reason other than ‘to have’ and ‘to own’.
That means that if you know what a person wants and likes, you can sell them more of it.
In the example of the woman who loves cookery books and cooking implements, what do you think would happen if I sent her a brochure which listed a range of new cooking and food related books and implements?
I’m more than certain that I could make a sale or two.
The fact that people have this strong desire to ‘own’ stuff means that if you offer them something which is rare or incredibly important to them, they will pay good money for it.
And this is where you can make money… by sourcing collectibles then selling them onto a person who really wants to own them… for a big fat easy profit.
This is what Martin Fanshaw does.
He regularly makes profits of thousands of pounds by simply sourcing and buying sought after items and then selling them to people who want them for a much higher price than the one he paid.
He doesn’t simply buy an item and then wait for a customer to come along; it’s not your usual business model. He only buys an item when he knows he has someone to sell it too.
Martin sits nicely between two people and creams off a large profit for simply passing on an item from one person to another.
All the items he buys and sells are easy to handle and can be popped into an envelope or a jiffy bag.
There is very little work to do and yet it can generate huge profits for his minimal efforts.
Martin once turned a £30,000 profit in just two days… by simply selling items to people who desperately wanted to own them… I suspect they were not cookery books, but who knows!
Anyway, if you would like to learn how Martin Fanshaw sources collectibles and memorabilia which he sells to people who are desperate to own them while creaming off a nice large profit for doing so, go to:

PS… Selling rare collectibles to the right people can result in big paydays. Recently a ‘wall’ painted by popular street artist Banksy sold for an undisclosed seven figures. You may not wake up and find that Banksy has graced your wall with a piece of artwork worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, but you can source popular collectibles from around the world which you can sell on for thousands of pounds.
