| Jan 6, 2020 at 10:23 | comment | added | Charmander | @Mast, unfortunately, we only stayed there for a couple of minutes, so I don't know how high the prices were going. While I was there, everything went for £1-£5. | |
| Jan 6, 2020 at 10:21 | comment | added | Mast | Can you give us a ballpark how high the prices were going? If there's a big ramp-up just to get a hundred bucks in the end, that doesn't sound like a good risk/reward ratio. | |
| Jan 6, 2020 at 10:11 | comment | added | Charmander | @Mars, no, he got £1 and then gave the lady several items for it. | |
| Jan 6, 2020 at 6:03 | comment | added | Mars | What does "he asked people if they'd be willing to trust him by offering 1 pound" mean? Does that mean he collected 20 pound, then gave one item to a "random" person? | |

| Jan 5, 2020 at 21:48 | comment | added | Charmander | @RonJohn, the edges of the small stage were covered by the products. However, as far as I could tell, he'd grab the products from a stack that was not visible from where I was standing. | |
| Jan 5, 2020 at 21:44 | comment | added | RonJohn | Where was he grabbing the items from? (But yes, it does sound very sketchy.) As far as not doing it in Oxford Circus, a combination of audacity and declining standards of propriety could explain doing it there.) | |
