Here at Cash Converters on East Street, Bedminster, they can offer you many for your unwanted items. AS long as it's got some worth, you can trade in your electricals/music/dvd items for money, and they sell them in the shop. OK so the rates aren't great, but they've got to run a business. Come in here if you're looking for a musical instrument or new Hifi which won't break the band, and they've also got a good range of CDs, DVDs and Cameras for sale.

My husband bought some audio equipment from here which totally didn't work when he brought it home. I was impressed that Cash Converters refunded him his money.

You do get the feeling that buying something from cash converters could be a bit like buying a bike down Brick Lane!

I have used the services of A and B on a few occassions and i am writing this review to let you all…read moreknow that it is a great place to use if you need that quick cash loan until payday! They dont judge and are very professional and efficient.Your jewellery is checked over and weighed and based on this they will offer you a loan which you are free to accept or decline.You are then given a slip to take back when you need to retrieve your goods and can pay back the loan.If you find you need the loan for longer than you thought you then go and pay the interest on the loan to keep your goods in the store and stop them being sold to pay your debt.The rates are fair and to be honest i have only used this service as a quick fix so unable to give more info i am afraid.Well worth bearing in mind instead of going into the red!!

As I bought £1000 worth of 9k gold they over charged me by around £170. So I recommend never buying from this shop. I know I will not be using them ever again.

Wessex Reclamation moved to the St Werburghs trading estate a couple of years ago. It's run by a…read morecouple of reasonably talentless individuals, one of whom has a more winning personality than the other. Not nearly as well stocked as some of the other architectural salvage and reclamation yards, and often more pricey, I would strongly recommend that you ring first to see if they have what you want in stock before going to the trouble of going there in person. Being in a difficult to access location during times of heavier traffic (before 10,00am and after 3.00pm), with displays that are nothing to look at, there's no point in visiting the place unless you can guarantee that they have what you are looking for. It's advisable to ask really probing questions over the phone to be certain of this, failure to do so may result in being fobbed off with questionable information designed to get you to the yard where you are more likely to buy something, even if it's not what you wanted.

'One man's rubbish is another man's gold' I learnt, and the reluctance slowly turned to interest, to an un-quenchable thirst for tat. Nowadays my house is full of wonderful knick knacks from around the place and indeed from Wessex Reclamation. In this wonderful rabbit hole of once loved items you can find so many great finds. Most things are on the larger side such as antique fireplaces and door frames but you can pick up some vintage crockery, cutlery and more. My favourite find to date in this place was a Victorian lavatory hand sculpted and painted like a British countryside scene. So beautiful it was that the thought of using it as a loo filled me with horror and I let it be. Perfect for nosing around on a rainy Sunday afternoon this place comes highly recommended to any amateur antique hunter.
