Selling action figures in Southend-on-Sea
Southend has the longest pleasure pier in the world and is the closest proper seaside town to the capital, which shapes it entirely: a resort, a commuter town and a substantial airport all at once. The estuary rather than open sea is what it faces.
The seafront and the two stations are the landmarks everyone uses and the trains to the capital make small handovers easy. Seafront parking is difficult through the summer and straightforward outside it.
Estuary air is salty and damp. On anything that lived near the front, check hardware and zips for corrosion, since those go long before anything is visibly wrong.
Southend-on-Sea, in England, has around 182,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
