Selling a drum kit in Redditch
Redditch made most of the world’s needles and fishing tackle in the nineteenth century and the industry is recorded in a working mill museum. It was later designated a new town, which gave it a ring road and a set of housing districts around the older core.
The town is built around a ring road with districts off it, so agree which district. Parking is easy throughout and driving is the assumption, so anything large is simple.
On fishing tackle, check the reel bearings and the rod rings rather than the finish. This town made tackle for a century, good equipment circulates, and the wear is always in those two places.
Redditch, in England, has around 82,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Redditch
