WRT bring and buy.

[Bearbonesnorm]

Many thanks to Niall for this suggestion .... in an effort to both raise extra money AND rid you of those things you keep meaning to sell but really can't be bothered to, there's going to be a WRT bring and buy sale. 'Tis a simple concept but one that still requires some explaining.

1/ Between now and the WRT, have a look for those cycle / outdoor items that you never use / don't fit / you don't get on with but you think someone else might like.

2/ Attach a label / sticker / bit of masking tape with the price written on. Be realistic and reasonable about pricing - in this instance, it's much better to sell something than not.

3/ Fetch your items along with you and deposit them on the allocated table in the yard when you arrive.

4/ If there's an item you'd like to buy, simply put the money for the item in the box and job's a good 'un.

5/ You don't need to have brought items to sell in order to buy something but the more folk who do bring stuff to sell, the better for all. Remember to bring some money as that elusive thing you always wanted might just be there waiting for you.

So, please get digging through the shed / garage / under the bed - and hopefully we can raise a few quid.

So... just to make sure...for the hard of learning like... you bring kit, price it up, plonk on table, it sells, the money goes to the Air Ambo (not the person)... and any stuff that remains unsold goes...

Well, that depends. People are welcome to take it back or it could all go in a big box until the following year by which time many items will have no doubt become highly sought after collectors pieces. All other points are correct

What if someone wanted to forward kit (stuff like camelbak cosies, dura ace, xt mechs etc etc)... could one do such a thing in the hope that someone at the WRT might happily bung some prices on themselves... I reckon I could make a decentish nox and post it down as Ait Ambulance being a wlrthwhile cause and helps me with my continuing (but slow) clearout!...

One could always do that and it would be gratefully received

[redefined_cycles]

Excellent... big clearout coming up and over...

[JohnClimber]

Great idea,

Please can you remind us all a week before the event and a couple of days beforehand for those hard of memory?

[Bearbonesnorm]

I will John.

Can I suggest that if you are bringing anything that might suggest more than a tenner in the pot, that you post your item here so that anyone who might want it brings enough readies?

I'm bringing a pair of MT71 SPD Shimano shoes in a 10, tried on but never used as I never got around to buying any SPD pedals. Don't think they make them now but they are effectively brand new. £130 when they were on sale, around £75 when they were being discounted and so I'm going to suggest around £30 as a minimum donation.
