yeah neither, if I wanted a coffee machine or whatever i would buy it rather than hoping I would get one from a bunch of rubbish

Ahh what it must be like to waste £600 on a pile of crap and not have to worry, when us normal people are worried about the rise in the cost of living can't wait for the YouTube bubble to burst

I do vaguely find returns pallets interesting as a concept. Because there are people out there making a living doing this sort of thing. Returns pallets, storage lockers etc.

I just find most YouTubers make really shit videos of returns pallets because they have too much money to care.

Pretty sure many of them do with the intention of turning a profit by selling off the good stuff. It's kind of a win-win for them- they get content, get profit, and can look nice when they "donate" stuff they can't sell. I can see why it's popular concept.
I did appreciate that Grace said she found somewhere to take the electrical stuff for parts rather than just chucking it (I hope that was honest!) but it does seem super naive to buy that whole pallet because they showed you a photo of ONE coffee machine you wanted.

I've watched a few returns pallet videos recently, Grace really did get a dud. A family channel recently did one and they got 15 or more mini fridges, broken ornaments, broken toys. Then I've seen a smaller youtuber buy 2 at over 1k and she got Dyson hair products, shark vacuums, smeg toasters, nespresso machines etc.
It really is pot luck.

My theory is Grace saw the photo and kept bidding because she doesn't like 'losing' and therefore paid over the odds. She will make her money back on the video and because it was shown as a purchase for work, she will claim her tax back on it.

I don't feel like effort translated into quality. The filming and audio in some of them was dreadful.

Aha, some of her hotel stays are also v pricey!

Honestly I wouldn't trust most channels who do them, I have seen various of these pallet type things and influencers all seem to get amazing stuff while " normal" people just get crap

I wish she leaned more into "Grace Tries", maybe make it more of a production. Go to different little bakeries or cafe's, little restaurants and "try" to cook their menu and work there for a day. Advertise small business's and learn new things.
Would be much more interesting than cooking in the kitchen.

I looked at the site she bought from and it seems like most of their pallets include a list of contents with a disclaimer of 5% accuracy - she did get 2x Nespresso machines, just not the one pictured that she wanted so I'd say it was within 5% on that and the rest of it can't have been that much of a surprise.

I think you're right though, she saw that coffee machine, wanted it and just went for it.

the good thing abt buying big ticket items for content is there's a sense of clickbait and intrigue for the audience and then i'd expect her to claim that £600 back in adsense fairly easily. across videos where she spends little in comparison she's probs not losing any money

It’s hard to stomach how expensive bills are at the moment so it’d be nice to see her do a ‘£x for a week of meals’ type video.

Grace can actually cook and she eats a normal amount of food (which is so refreshing to see) compared to other YouTubers who eat like 500 calories a day…

Over the moon she's came to Durham. Live very near and it is beautiful.

Appalled she ended the trip with bloody Bill's restaurant

I really like Grace but I’m finding these sponsored ads for BBC iPlayer a bit transparent. She never usually talks about modelling but all of a sudden she’s like ‘I used to be a model and that’s why I enjoy watching this modelling show on iPlayer!’ Like ok, you never talk about modelling because it doesn’t fit the aesthetic of your channel but you’re happy to mention it for sponsorship money?

Why do I watch her vlogs ! She's annoyed me again with going on about really wanting dyson air wrap but they are to expenses when she spent £600 on that crap pallet or is she hoping to be gifted it instead it makes no sense

I think she's hoping to be sent it to review, or that she's gonna get another pallet with that and the coffee machine she wanted magically in it and better products...

I'm so tired of these influencers begging for useless stuff they will never end up using and only add up in the landfill

After her tagging oralB when her toothbrush broke I lost all respect for her.
If you can afford a £600 pallet of shite you can buy a new toothbrush/air wrap/laptop.

It’s so depressing how all influencers just seem to end up doing the same
