Swapmeet / garage sale in Cornwall ?
Hi all, I am thinking of have a meetup maybe one evening or probably better a Sunday morning at my warehouse unit in mid Cornwall, plenty of parking and space to rummage.
Mods please move if inappropriate however, another member has posted similar so hopefully OK. I have some tv sets, radio's and all sorts that need to go, some will be free, cheap or the odd item if I paid a decent sum will be at what it cost me. If a few members are interested and want to bring some of their junk and have a meetup and a fiddle on the bench, not just to go through my junk then get in touch. It won't be on the scale of the world famous Mikey405's annual do though ! tea and coffee etc and possibly SWMBO will bake a cake !, possibly a pub lunch after ? Stuart

Re: swapmeet / garage sale in Cornwall ?
Hi Mike yes about 15 mins max, we actually live just round the corner from that junction but most of my gear is at work so don't really need to be lugging it back home !

Re: swapmeet / garage sale in Cornwall ?
Hi Stephen yes I think Sunday, if you can get up it would be great to see you as its been a while - been flat out and no bench work for a while with us moving and doing up the house !. If you can put the word about there are a few members down your end that might not see the posts ?

Re: Swapmeet / garage sale in Cornwall ?
Hi Simon yes I will gauge interest, I did try before but it fizzled out, as its a bit "dry" down this way I though maybe a little get together would be a good idea. Like I said to Freya if you can put the word about....

Re: Swapmeet / garage sale in Cornwall ?
Depending on the date I’ve got some amateur radio type stuff I could bring along if there was any interest along with a McMichael woody which is working but I no longer have the room

Re: Swapmeet / garage sale in Cornwall ?
Yes I'd be interested! Could be dangerous, I'm trying to dispose of stuff rather than collecting more, but easily tempted

Re: Swapmeet / garage sale in Cornwall ?
Thanks Bill, it's not obligatory to take junk back can always bring some junk and have a natter and a few brews.

Re: Swapmeet / garage sale in Cornwall ?
I would love to be there but last minute family duties (Christenings) have taken that opportunity away, No matter family first
Cheers Mike T
