Thought struck me

Depends what prices Del was doing. Arkwright was a notorious skinflint.

Don't see it being a long term thing, to be honest. Del would just pick up what he can find and flog it. Not big enough or professional enough to supply a whole shop.

Maybe if he happened to come across some assorted tin goods, that he could flog for cheap, Arkwright might take them off his hands.

Two David Jason's in some kind of alternative reality mash up. All we need then is Ronnie Corbett wandering in and asking for some candles.
