    Yep. A friend of mine is stalled out with a relative of Sarah's.

    I've given him a boxful of watches to sell on my behalf.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    Yes if only a punter but if you want a stall then you have to book beforehand.

    They are not the sort of thing that would sell easily on here, mostly old Accurists, Timex, LCD's etc and by the time you add on postage costs not too viable.

    When I buy in bulk I keep the good stuff and clear out the rest.

    I did sell a bulk lot of cheaper LCD's, Russians etc on here before. Most buyers were perfectly happy with their bargains but one buyer complained about a Russian mechanical watch not keeping time he had bought with some others that had cost him a tenner IIRC.

    Reimbursed him and learnt my lesson.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    Please note if you are going to the fair on Sunday I have just been informed by the watch fair organizer that the venue (Motorcycle museum) has now gone cashless so you will need a credit/debit card if you want to buy anything from the museum such has food, drinks, clothing etc etc.


    Cash is still king at the fair though I would imagine :)

    My friend is stalled out there now and selling a lot of stuff of mine.

    What doesn't sell will be down at Spitalfields on Monday.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    Was ok spent a couple of hours looking at everything. Wife got some costume bits, she’s chuffed

    Nice Swiss only dialled full set coke at £11950, too rich for me

    One stall had 3 Pepsi’s from 80’s/90’s and when I asked how much the guys said lots….

    I got a single Rolex watch stand and a service case. So not empty handed

    Cheers,
    Neil.
