Selling childrens books in Bangor
Bangor is a seaside town on the shore of Belfast Lough with one of the largest marinas in the country, a long Victorian seafront and an abbey history going back to the sixth century. It functions largely as a commuter town for the city up the lough.
Commuter households move with jobs in the city, and an older resident population means downsizing supplies well-kept furniture. Marina equipment turns over steadily.
The marina and the seafront are the landmarks everyone uses and the town is compact. Parking is easy outside summer weekends, so anything large is straightforward.
On marina and boating equipment, check the hardware for salt corrosion. It starts in the fastenings and bearings and it is well advanced before anything looks wrong on the surface.
Bangor, in Northern Ireland, has around 61,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Belfast, Londonderry and Newtownabbey are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Bangor
The UK has the deepest second-hand habit of any of our markets — charity shops, car boot sales and online resale have been mainstream here for decades, so buyers arrive already comfortable with used goods and already know roughly what things are worth.
