Bloody awkward place to get to without a car, I do hope to talk someone into driving there though
What's the score with regards to selling? Can I just take a guitar down and offer it around or is there a protocol I must adhere to?

Many walk around with the guitar and a for sale sign attached - I've seen some walk around with the guitar on a strap, across your shoulder and a for sale sign - Others just write a note on say A4 paper and attach it to the case, walk around and hope to find a buyer

I can't remember his name, but he is an FB reader - He has a stand, almost opposite me - Take him the guitar and he will display it for you, again with a hope to find a buyer

But yes you can try and sell

There is a seller ( i think he posts on here)with a massive stall who you pay £10 ,then leave a card with details/ price and phone number then you just wander around the show  and if anyone rings just pop back over and see if you can do a deal , i'm going over and can give you a lift if you are in the Sunderland area ?

It's not ideal, but do you remember the old Fed Brewery site location, or have you seen the Birmingham venue?
I guess the car is king these days, besides you'll need transport to take away all your impulse purchases 
I can't make it due to family commitments, otherwise I'd have helped out.

My mate Darren Bond has a stand there, he will display your guitar for a fiver. You leave him your number, give him your price etc he,ll put it on his stand for the day. If it doesn’t sell you,ve only lost a fiver, well worth it I think.

That’s awesome, I’ve got some stuff I could do with selling. Any chance of contacting him beforehand?

Sarge

Thanks for the replies!
If I can get there, work permitting, I'll certainly be giving Mr Bond a visit. 

Unless anyone wants to buy my stripped/oiled Westbury Standard beforehand  

Kittyfrisk
