I thought I had heard of Wirral Buy and Sell.. but not sure and don't know where to find it . Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.

Gumtree Loot Preloved All of them are filterable to area and tend to be local pick-up sales unlike ebay. There are specific groups on facebook as well. Buysell disappeared a while ago, think it was run by one of the newspaper groups. The further you are down the pay scale, the more 'essential' you are when the s--- hits the fan...

Cheers I think it was Facebook Marketplace that my daughters partner sold his vehicle on. A large white van he'd used for business. Sold it without any problem, but two days later the same guys came back and said the van wasn't working. Demanded half the money back. Crooks from London, and very threatening behaviour. The van was in good order, and had never let anyone down previously . Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.

Sometimes the new buyers swap out the engine or other parts.
