Selling a drum kit in Torquay
Torquay is the main resort of the English Riviera, built on hills around a harbour with palm trees along the front, and it is the birthplace of Agatha Christie. The tourism economy is genuinely seasonal and the population skews older.
The town is built on steep hills above the harbour, so for anything heavy establish the approach rather than only the address. The harbour and the front are the landmarks everyone uses.
The town is built on steep hills above the harbour. Establish the approach and how many steps there are before agreeing a price on anything heavy.
Torquay, in England, has around 65,000 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 Torquay
Two practical things shape a UK sale. Bank holidays and the run-up to Christmas slow collections right down, so build a few extra days in. And postage from mainland Britain to Northern Ireland, the Highlands and the islands carries surcharges that catch sellers out — quote for the buyer’s actual postcode rather than a flat rate.
