Get on eBay or some other digital platform, don’t matter were you are it opens up a whole new audience, I live in a boat but still sell shed loads of gear on the net, have earned £75 this morning before going to work, some of the bits I’ve seen you stick up that you have made would easily sell it’s just getting producer and customer together without to many middle men 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, we were thinking of going that route, but things get both complicated, and time consuming when it comes to posting, couriers, packing etc 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
