The student population arrives in September and clears out in June, and the June clear-out is when the good furniture and desk kit appears. Households in the outer suburbs turn over more slowly, which is where the older, better-made furniture tends to surface.
New Street sits in the middle of everything and is where most small handovers get arranged. Unlike London, driving is genuinely practical here: the ring road and the retail parks around it mean furniture collection is a normal weekend errand rather than a logistical problem.
For anything gold, ask whether it carries a British hallmark and photograph it. Hallmarking is normal on jewellery sold here, and its absence is not proof of anything but it is worth a question before money changes hands.
Birmingham, in England, has around 1.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. London, Leeds and Sheffield are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
