Selling a TV in Oldham
Oldham was the greatest cotton spinning town in the world at its peak and the mills that remain define the skyline. It sits high on the Pennine edge, which makes it noticeably colder than the city below it, and the tram now connects the two.
Mill closures left tools and equipment in private hands, and family housing turns over within the area. The altitude means winter clothing and heating-adjacent goods have a genuine season here.
The tram runs into the centre and connects to the wider region. The town is high and steep, so for anything heavy establish how far it is from a road a vehicle can reach.
The town sits high on the Pennine edge and is colder than the city below. On anything stored in an unheated space, check for damp and for frost damage in seals and pipes.

Effectively a collection-only item: televisions are fragile, awkward and expensive to post, and courier damage claims on screens rarely succeed. Let the buyer see it powered on before they take it, which suits both of you.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
