A social media influencer has ignited a heated debate after filming himself clearing Asda's Lego shelves to resell the toys for profit. Sam Peth, who regularly shares money-making tips on TikTok, posted a video showing him arriving at Asda at 10pm and filling his trolley with discounted Lego sets.
In the video, Peth explains that the sets were priced at £7.50 each in Asda but could be resold on Amazon for £30, yielding over £20 profit per item. He estimated a total profit of £400 from his £250 shopping spree, describing it as an 'easy money' hack using Amazon's Fulfilment by Amazon service.
The video has garnered over 800,000 views, with many viewers criticising Peth for depriving struggling parents of affordable toys. Comments included 'Don't worry about leaving any for struggling parents' and 'People on low incomes shop at Asda because it's cheaper. They now have to pay more, so that you can make a profit.'
However, some defended the influencer, praising his entrepreneurial spirit. One comment read: 'At least he doing something and not sitting with the hands in pocket. Well done!! I admire people like that.'
