Selling a cap in Nottingham
Nottingham made lace and pharmaceuticals and sits on a sandstone ridge riddled with man-made caves, with two large universities and a castle above the centre. The city has a strong independent retail and vintage scene that predates the current interest in it.
Two universities clear their housing every June and the student districts are dense enough that whole streets change hands in a fortnight. The vintage trade means clothing circulates here as ordinary business.
The tram network is genuinely useful for anything portable and the centre is compact. The city is built on hills, so for anything heavy ask about steps up to the door rather than only the floor.
The city is built on hills and sandstone, so cellars are common and often damp. Ask where the item was stored, because a cellar here is not the dry space the word suggests.
Nottingham, in England, has around 330,000 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.
Handing it over in Nottingham
