No thanks.
This is a place where you bring your junk, you sell your junk and then other people come in and buy your junk. It's like Dickinson's Real Deal but instead of bringing in Chess sets worth hundreds of pounds, you are bringing in the old Fifa X box game and hoping for a fiver.
It's handy money for tat you don't really need or want anymore, but it seems a bit like a Charity shop that keeps the money for themselves. Most of the stuff in here you probably won't ever buy, just like a Charity shop. But the only difference is that if you need any persuasion in a charity shop, your money is going to help prevent breast cancer or go to starving children.
Here, it goes to people that live a few doors away from you. And they have a big television.
I think the idea of a shop like this is good, especially during a recession where everyone needs a bit of extra cash. But the shop itself looks poor and could do with a bit of a refit to make it more modern and more appealing. I know people that come here and sell as much as they can, and then come out with some book someone once wrote for half the price. That is marginally pointless because you are replacing junk with more junk.
Yes the shop is a good idea, but if you are desperate to make £2 for selling a box of old cds, why not give it to a charity shop where the money will go to something good?
It seems a bit too much of a black market thing to me and I'm not particularly comfortable in it. read more
