Having sorted and photographed the best of the 'junk', we advertised it on Marketplace, not really sure what to expect.
Within minutes enquiries came in...Is this still available? Is that in good condition? Would you accept less?
Lots of items were taken by some lovely people with stories to tell.
- a girl who bought a wing-backed chair for her 101 year old friend.
- a lovely lady, taking desks and school chairs back to Devon to furnish a new area for her French exchange students.
- a man who bought two filing cabinets and a chair for his new home office.
Of course, it hasn't always gone so well. We were left bewildered when a girl rejected our vintage tea set for being 'too second-hand', along with the lady who had travelled over an hour to collect some £5 office chairs, only to complain that they weren't quite the right colour!
