I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the links in case it's advertising stuff for sale.
Looks to be a private seller selling a single copy with CD inside.

That's probably why the small shops buy like 5, try and flog them at a big mark up cause they were "on the telly"

I'm sure I remember one candidate early on admitting afterwards in an interview that one of their team basically went off camera, covered his mic and told the guy he was selling to that they were on the Apprentice and that, if he bought a few paintings, he could flog them on ebay once the show was broadcast and make a killing. I'm surprised more candidates don't do that.

Regardless, it must be pretty obvious to the people they are selling to what show is being filmed, even if the production staff try to hide it...

I thought it was a bit awkward when they tried to flog their book to the rare book dealer.

Obviously, what they really WANTED to say was "Look, here's a book that's a strictly limited edition and it's tied into a popular TV show so it might end up having some value as a novelty item" but they wouldn't be allowed to use that pitch for fear of "breaking the 4th wall".

I remember last year or the year before seeing the winning board game on sale in a Hampstead toy shop!
It's nice to know the products do somehow exist in the real world!

I'm guessing that many probably realise it's The Apprentice when they see Karren Brady standing in the corner

See, this is the thing is be thinking of if I was a business owner and the candidates come in with a book/whatever they've made/invented. Keep hold of them then flog them at a higher price. After all these books. If they bought say 5 would only cost them about £20!

Not sure why the candidate had to tell the shopkeeper guy he was doing this for the Apprentice.

When you're surrounded with cameras and there's about 5 people in your shop all dressed in suits, you'd think something was up.
