EVERY bargain hunter knows to look out for Jellycat teddies when hitting the charity shop or boot sales.
But according to one reselling pro, there's another label we should be looking out for too.
Emily has been sharing her top tips and tricks on her social media pages, and has enjoyed huge success snapping up bargains to resell on sites like Vinted.
At a recent boot sale, she picked up a teddy bear for just 50p, and in a new video on TikTok, she revealed she's just sold it for an incredible £20.
"He is a Charlie Bear," Emily explained, showing the adorable toy's tag.
Unfortunately the bear didn't come with the label around the neck that Charlie Bears are famous for, so she didn't get as much money as she could have done if it had come all in one piece.

"But £20 is still blooming good profit!" she smiled.
"So keep a look out for them.
"They have got really wobbly heads.
"And come in all sorts of different colours and sizes.
"Definitely something to look out for."
She also shared screenshots of some other Charlie Bears that had been sold on eBay - for up to a staggering £475.
"Look out for these bears! They can be worth a fortune!" Emily added in the video caption.
People were quick to comment on the video, including one woman who wrote: "I only picked up 4 tagged and complete.
"Sold them for £60.00 each and they sold within around an hour of listing."
"Great find," another praised.
"I'm a big Charlie Bear collector, I have seen then at car boots but not cheap like this!"
"I know I was super lucky, he was in a box full of teddies," Emily replied.
Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted?
QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted...
- The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it.
- Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017.
