Random queries no.50

One of a series of genuine search engine enquiries which successfully brought visitors to the Ministry.  Can I help?

can i buy from supermarket and sell on

I don't see why not, but remember you'd be buying at the full retail price, and people probably wouldn't want to pay more than that (they could go to the supermarket themselves!), so there's be no profit in it.

That's as a private citizen. I don't know, but I suspect there's be a legal issue in, say, a local corner shop reselling supermarket own-brand goods.

Just my personal opinion, of course – IANAL, nor a government agency.
