General information

Imagine if ebay was an actual (not virtual) shop. Then imagine this shop looks like a cross between Steptoe's Yard and The Borrowers' living room, with Wombles as staff set inside Aladdin's Cave. Imagine this shop has actual stock to see, touch, measure and negotiate on. Then imagine that this stock was consciously donated to us by members of the public who preferred to give it a future, rather than send it to landfill. Then imagine that you could own some of it for a very fair price and have helped somebody back into meaningful long-term employment too. You might not quite know what you are shopping for when you enter but you'll see it makes sense by the time you leave. What we stock today will have changed by tomorrow but here is a flavour of what you might expect...

More Wombling than Wimbledon,
Like ‘The Borrowers’ but bigger.
More ‘Urban Thrift’ than ‘Designer Gift
And Funkier than George Clinton,
Yet Rock n Roll with Car Boot Soul.
A home filling Hoarders Haven,

Bigger than a boutique,
Nerdier than shabby chic.
Less aggro than a boot sale
Handier than a hobnail.
More Steptoe’s than Selco’s,
Think Funkyjunk and Steampunk, yet
Friendlier than a dog in a butchers shop
and really royally retro.

Oh, and we also sell…………………
