Hi all,
I have a small collection of Wade pottery (whimseys / ashtrays / candle holders etc etc) that I want to get rid of - and hopefully make a bit of money from.
I know that eBay seems the logical choice but the p&p costs wll be high (£3ish for a plate) which seems daft when that won't be much less than the cost of the items!
So any ideas how else I can move these on?
(or do I just suck it up and give them to charity shops?!)
Many Thanks!

Bricks and mortar auction houses. I buy from them , you'll be appalled both at the price you'll get and at their charges, but a mixed lot for a few pound has got to be worth it before you go to the Charity shop.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

free ads. i put my heavy stuff in the free ads. but only the free ads and i do buyer collect. you have to be sure you want to do it this way due to security reasons. but i have two dogs and they bark when the door goes so the people collecting only come into the hallway or the deal is done out the front of the house.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.
