Autojumbles - Selling Parts
Discussion
I have a huge range of car parts from my late father: wheels, gearboxes, engines, panels, lights etc
30s to 70s cars
I've seen Stratford on Avon Autojumble is on in May and wondered if it's worth taking a stall and trying to sell some parts
It says its for cars and bikes but it's mostly bikes in the pictures
Has anyone done similar recently - I don't want to go if I'm only likely to sell £200 of parts, I've probably got £10k worth
Any experiences of it or others - I'm based in Warwickshire

Thanks all, I've been using eBay and it's very slow going mostly because the stuff is all large, panels etc. that I don't want to send
I've sold stuff on Facebook before - I'd rather scrap the lot, than do that again
The other problem with eBay is I don't know what half of it is
I'll give one of those bigger shows a try

Newark has been in decline for a while, it seems to be more random stuff - there was a chap selling merry go round horses and Mrs. Jim bought a Eucalyptus tree.
Why not contact a few owners clubs and see if that generates some interest?
Tried that and you just get people asking for a left-handed widget from some obscure model that I wouldn't know what one was if it bit me on the arseWhy not contact a few owners clubs and see if that generates some interest?
I have 70% of a matra 501 - I think there are 3 in the UK - no one wants to buy the spares until they need them

KTMsm,
Are all the items form a particular make of car? If you don't know, was your Dad fond of one make?
Most Car Clubs will have a big summer meeting at which they hold an Autojumble. Ask to have a stall at the appropriate club, to recycle your parts back into the right environment.

Far from it - he was a classic car dealer for 40 years Are all the items form a particular make of car? If you don't know, was your Dad fond of one make?
