Selling a gold necklace in Eastbourne
Eastbourne is a Sussex seaside town below the chalk headland at the end of the South Downs, with a Victorian seafront and a bandstand still in use. It has one of the oldest population profiles in the country and hosts a significant tennis tournament each summer.
The front is flat but the town climbs sharply behind it towards the Downs, and the Meads and Old Town addresses sit on that slope in narrow streets of residents’ bays. Ask how far the door is from a road a van can actually wait on, which matters more here than which floor it is on.
On furniture from an estate clearance, check the joints and the veneer rather than the surface. Much of what comes onto the market here is genuinely old and well made, and age shows at the joins.
Eastbourne, in England, has around 103,000 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 Eastbourne
