A budding “little Del Boy” has made a tasty profit by re-selling empty bottles of Prime energy drink to punters dying to get their hands on the viral beverage. Charlie Smith, ten, braved excessive queues outside Asda stores last month to get his hands on the drink, which was created by YouTube stars Logan Paul and KSI.
He said: “I’ll be honest, we think it’s stupid that he’s buying drinks that they’re obsessed with for £2. But we can’t argue with him because he’s getting his money back on it. But Charlie twigged he might be able to get his pocket money back when a school pal asked if they could buy some of the empty bottles he had accumulated. Property developer Adam said: “Before Christmas when we were trying to get it in the first place from Asda, we managed to get all of the different flavours essentially.
“But after a while, as he’d been collecting them and trying to get hold of Prime stuff, he looked on eBay and saw what they were going for.” “Now he’s trying to buy them off other people empty for £1 to try and re-sell them. He's got about 25 in his bedroom now. He’s been going through eBay but he was going to try and do Facebook Marketplace as well because there are other things there.”
