We're moving out of the Sherman in Cardiff for an 18month refurb, and in the process losing/chucking/flogging quite a bit of kit. Does anyone have any recommendations - apart from eBay, which we're already all over, and the BR forum - for places to sell gear? I'm particularly thinking of my now retired house tabs. Suggestions greatly appreciated! Ta :wall:

There was a six week gap between posts 3 and 4, and the OP hasn't been on here since January. The venue in question closed for its refurb in January so it's likely that the equipment has already been sold.

Also, if there was loads of it, it would fall foul of our free advertising limits.

Outside the spirit though! This place does need some cash to keep running (a coat of paint wouldn't hurt) and the next V of the software is around the corner...
