Hehehe... I'll give it a miss. Who of us needs it on Accyweb??? If I had anything decent to sell I would stick it in our buy, sell and swap section. If I have tat.....it goes to the charity shop or for re-cycling.

I think its quite a good idea - for Accrington - I think it should do quite well once people get to know about it.

It will no doubt be announced as if it's somebodies new baby in a certain column very shortly, I can see the proud announcement, "look, just like I promised new business attracted to Hyndburn Town Centre and it isn't a pound or charity shop!".

There is a franchise called I Sold It, cost £70,000 and you have to find a suitable shop front & finance that yourself too. Doesn't look like this is one of them, but has the same ethos.

iSold It - The easy way to sell online

I had a look into it a few weeks ago, but is much too steep with the charges and commission which are passed on to the customer. They also say that the item must sell for at least £30 or they won't take it!

I sell for other people on Ebay who don't know how to use it or can't be bothered and I only take 10% of the final value price on items under £100. I suppose this shop would be ok dealing with large items or breakables as it's on their heads, but I'll stick with the smaller stuff!

There's a seller on eBay called something like "isellitforu" doing this kind of thing but no idea what they charge.

Can't wait to see the shop featured in a well known newspaper column.
