I tried to sell a few items through the classifieds here but withdrew them.
Postage is so expensive it wasn't worth it. Royal Mail quoted
I suppose that this is thread drift but maybe some overlap as postage rates to the EU changed on Brexit, or rather I believe that there were some standardised postal rates across Europe and that they will no longer automatically apply here.
Within the U.K. it cost me, via Royal Mail, about a fiver to post my last Soprano sale and about a tenner for my last Concert sale. I keep meaning to investigate cheaper carriers.
My sales have been via eBay and whilst it isn’t perfect I still find is very much better than the alternatives. Sales of cheaper large items can be barely cost effective but to an extent so long as I don’t make a loss I’m not that fussed: better sold to someone who’ll get pleasure from the item than for it to end up in landfill. eBay also allows for local collection, sale prices achieved aren’t as good - better if you live in a large City like Manchester - but the time spent packaging items up has a cost so there might be some trade-off there.
Facebook have a market place too which I understand works well, I don’t do Facebook so haven’t used that facility.
IIRC you have a nice Bruko available for rehoming. A recent Bruko sale on eBay eventually went for a very good price and will have seen a happy buyer and a happy seller (some money in the hand for something that’s otherwise gathering dust and taking up storage space).
With the current difficulties I won’t buy from or sell to the EU; hopefully, at some point, the Politicians here and in the EU will get their act together and get on with making the situation that we’re in work much better for all concerned. If I buy overseas it’s mostly from China; I’d rather buy from the U.K. but sadly our manufacturing base isn’t what it once was so some goods just aren’t made here any more. I’d rather buy a Uke - and other stuff - made locally in Europe than one made far away in China too, but as I mentioned above the politicians need to resolve some issues first.
