A man has been slammed by fellow shoppers as he has claimed to have cleared the shelves in a Tesco supermarket and was able to make £180 in an hour.
Jack Bayliss of Aftermarket Arbitrate claims to be the UK's number one Amazon FBA seller - which mean he provides products to the online retail giant which acts as a middle-man selling on his items, before they company sends him the profit. Recently the online seller shared how he manage to swipe Tesco's shelves of Sistema bottles.
In a bid to make a cheeky profit he bought as many bottles as he could for £3 and resold them online for £11. He made £3.84 profit per unit. Jack said: "With the 24 units I got hold of, that's over £90 product and will take 15 mins to prep for UPS to pick up - the shopping only costs a couple of quid. It took me just 30 minutes." By his calculations, that means he was able to make £180 an hour.
Jack showcased his trip out to Tesco via his TikTok page. He demonstrated how others can grab a bargain and make a profit themselves. The money-savvy man said: "I don't work for Tesco so I grabbed a trolley and headed over to and find some reduced Sistema bottles but they weren't anywhere to be seen. However, I checked stock checker and it told me that they did have units in stock. So, I didn't give up and asked the staff to see if there was any in the back.
"They initially wouldn't give me more than six because they said it was a pricing error, but I know from the discord that that's a nationwide offer and not just a one off. Thankfully, they gave me all they had in the back."

The post went viral and gained over 113,000 views, but a number of social media users appeared less than impressed by the move. One individual said: "What you're doing here is stopping other people from benefitting from this deal who maybe can't afford to spend the £11 on it... class act."
"Let people buy them at the correct price," another said. "I absolutely hate these," said one other.
Another said: "So you went to Tesco, bought them, drove back , prepped and packed them in 30 mins? …ok mate." "Contributing absolutely nothing to society," said one other.
But Jack claimed he is "helping people earn more money".
