Hello, we are a couple in our 50’s who have started to spend as much of the uk winter in our caravan, (on site near los Gollardos)  as we can. I have bad arthritis! Flying out from Manchester.We have pets and part time work in the uk, so can only spend a few weeks away at a time, when we get our house sitter. 

My question is : are there any recommended items from the uk we can bring out for re sale in Spain, to help out our holiday and house sitter costs? This would enable us to stay away longer in the winter sun! We often do car boots and auction while in the uk, so I was thinking along the same lines really, even if it meant doing a stall here and there. 

While out there last week i noticed paracetamol were expensive compared to uk! Are most medical items more expensive? 

Also would there be much demand for uk registered second hand soft top cars out there? 

Any information appreciated. Thanks.

You would be well advised to consult a Spanish lawyer before considering reselling pharmaceuticals in Spain, as they can only be sold in a pharmacy. I imagine the consequences would be severe and treated in the same way as importing and selling other types of illegal drugs.

Definitely not allowed to sell any medicines of any type in Spain various UK shops have been prosecuted selling even cough mixture!  We've been here for 15 years now and find that there's nothing we can't get if we look around even Consum stocks English groceries.  Not that many boot sales here either and to sell at markets you have to pay for a stall licence.  As for UK cars when you factor in the metriculation costs it is not worth it unless it's your own cherished car.  Also if you are selling stuff you might find that you are expected to pay tax on earnings.

Calm down, I didn’t mention selling pharmaceuticals! Just asking if anything else is more expensive there! 

Second hand electrical items, tools etc I had in mind. Ch

I used to do a lot of car auctions here, buying and selling, but it’s not the same anymore with these modern computer run cars, always something faulty! 

I occasionally see older convertibles and a few left hand drives sell quite cheap sometimes, due to uk weather last few years I think. They’re usually around  the £2000 mark, and a friend of mine used to drive them to France/Spain to re- sell, but he’s not into cars anymore. 

I know of an old great condition mg sports car, jag diesel estate and a couple of vintage British classics at the moment. Collectors vehicles really. 

Thanks for your reply.
