Question

Check you understand the words in bold below. Which of the following is good advice for selling in a place like this? Why? / Why not?

Answer

  1. In the video, Steve not only tries to sell something broken or ‘garbage’ – the old fridge – but actually manages to, so this was bad advice. But too much garbage on the stall might put people off looking.
  2. It’s good advice. 
  3. It’s bad advice. An organised stall might attract more people. 
  4. Could be bad advice as sometimes you get more than you price things for. But people might not want to ask if there isn't a price.
  5. Good advice. The items at the front are more likely to attract attention.
  6. Good advice. Buyers can negotiate and knock you down, but you might still get a good deal.
