Now ive just bought my first home, need to clear out the house of all the crap i have gathered over the last three years and make some money to decorate the new place.

Where are the best places to go to sell? I know of the new street one on a sunday...does that still run? What time is a good time to get there? Is it every week?

Where else can i go?

What about auctions? What kind of stuff do they take and do you know which ones are good around lothian?

I know there is one a Chesser Avenue right next to Asda. I often see cars parking up for that on Sunday mornings. Sorry I have no further info

The one at Chesser is behind the Corn exchange - you enter down the side of the Corn Exchange as if your going to the bowling, but keep going on to the end.

I think its on Sat & Sunday mornings.

We did it last year & I think it cost maybe £10. We got their for 8am & the first hour was the busiest by far.

There is one at the Car Park near the St James Centre on Sundays.

I don't know much else about it except that my friend went to it last Sunday and was raving about it

New Street is where me and the Mrs used to go, however its all knocked down now, looking for somewhere new ourselves.

Chesser seems to be the best, or East Fortune market on a sunday

Aw, thanks...are they both outdoors though? Bit worrying as i only have tiny car and as soon as i open the boot - everything is going to pour out all over the place - if it rains im going to be snookered LOL

Any more info on East Fortune - does Kinross market still run?
