Selling trading cards in Hull
Hull was one of the great fishing ports and still has its own independent telephone network with cream phone boxes rather than red ones. A year as City of Culture reshaped the centre, and the university and the docks remain the two poles of the local economy.
The university clears student housing every June, and port and offshore wind employment moves households on contract cycles. Housing here is cheap enough that people furnish first homes rather than replace second ones.
The city is flat, which makes moving anything considerably easier than in most northern cities. The old town and the marina are the landmarks everyone uses and parking around them is manageable.
Hull, in England, has around 260,000 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 Hull
