Selling a cricket bat in Kirkcaldy
Kirkcaldy made linoleum on a scale that gave the town a distinctive smell remembered in local verse, and it was the birthplace of the economist who wrote The Wealth of Nations. It has a long esplanade along the Firth and hosts one of the longest street fairs in Europe.
The esplanade and the high street are the landmarks everyone uses and the town is compact. Parking is easy except during the fair, when the promenade is closed.
On anything that lived near the esplanade, check metal fittings for salt corrosion. The front is exposed and the damage starts underneath rather than on the visible surface.
Kirkcaldy, in Scotland, has around 50,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Kirkcaldy
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.
