The hardest thing ( I would imagine) isn't selling the gear, it's getting the gear in big enough quantities in the first place so you can earn sensible money.......

you can only sell it once wilf--forever turning round stock is a problem and buying it at the right money i buy a lot off ebay and when i`m in full swing I cover 3/4 auctions a week ..I take a van full of mixed stock to the fairs ------furniture for the shippers items to go back into trade and items for public ...I try and make my prices so people cant say no --- even if they don't really want it

When I used to dabble in a bit if buying and selling I liked to be able to show the buyer that if they bought it and got feed up with it then they could also make a nice little wage on it

few year back I stood next to some lads on a car boot --there selling hanging baskets and garden ornaments I had a big cart wheel off them and 4 hanging baskets -- read in the local paper the following week 30 houses had,had garden ornaments and hanging baskets stolen during the night one off them had had part of his fence sawn down to remove a cart wheel that was chained to it...the headline read green fingered thieves ..

top 2 as a pair look ok ---without looking them up don't know the numbers--- how tall are they .. bottom 2 1950/60s .. if I was to stall them out bottom 2, £7 each .. top 2 if there over 10inch £25-30 the pair if there the little 4inch things £7 each see what the other lads think ... these are the type of things you buy in job lot boxes in auction got boxes stacked in my garage I must sort through .... you got them cabinets on ebay yet?

Thanks again they are 7 inches. Yes got the them on ebay with a few other bits.

 

I hope you get lucky I know if I`d got them listed round here they`d have bids ---I`m lucky I`m just off m1,m42.a50,close to a46. and not a million miles from the a1
