An 18-year-old student from South London has turned a small teenage hobby of reselling second-hand Lego into a business with annual sales of more than $400,000 (£312,000). Jamie Bell runs the business, called JTB Collectables, through eBay. During the last tax year, he made almost $68,000 (£53,000) in net profit after paying for stock, postage and professional accountancy services. His business recently reached a new high when he sold 200 lbs (90 kg) of Lego Star Wars minifigures in a single online auction. The auction received 65 bids and ended with a sale price of more than $30,000 (£23,400).
