Bike Jumble?....

[wadsy]

I've still got lots of parts I'd like to shift!...

Cave Clearance: it's all gotta go!.. offers?!

I wondered if a bike jumble might be a good idea?!... can anyone recommend one?

Cheers

Depends where you are, and how much you actually want to make for your stuff! In my experience as a seller you need to be willing to let things go for cheap, take a range of stuff and if it has no prices on it then assume someone is going to take the piss, you will not sell more than half of whatever you take. As a buyer they can be great for picking specific things up for a good price, especially at the big ones, but a lot of the really good, or really cheap stuff sells between traders before the doors open.

The Chalfont jumble is a good one, nice size and usually has a good micx of traders and people who just want to empty the shed, next on is 2nd November.

Thanks very much.
I'm in west berks, so the Chalfont one could be do-able.

Oh, to add, MTB stuff usually makes up less than 10% but it seems to be increasing.

Very much this, so do not bank on your MTB stash being cleaned up on the day - unless your prices are very attractive of course.

I've been to the Chalfont event a couple of times and have bought a part or two at each. But the best MTB 'jumble' I've been to has to be the one held at icon-o-classic, which really should be an annual event (assuming it isn't and I'm just unaware of it!).

Yeah, the photos do look to show mostly road stuff.
