Collecting a find from an Earby seller's door
Earby sellers list from every kind of house. On a terraced row such as George Street or Waddington Street the item comes out of the front door straight onto the pavement, so the van needs a gap at the kerb and the seller needs to be in at the agreed time. On a close like Reeval Close or Welbury Close the van turns before it reaches the house and backs up to the drive.
The other way round works too: a buyer in Earby who finds a wardrobe in Keighley or a dining set in Leeds. The van collects from the seller's door, with you on the phone if you want to talk it through, and brings it back over the Skipton bypass. Payment between buyer and seller is yours to arrange; the van only carries the piece, blanket-wrapped and strapped.

Marketplace Collection in Earby: your questions
Who checks the item before it goes in the van?
You and the seller do. Have the seller send fresh photos, or ring them while the van is there, and say before loading if anything is wrong.
Do I need to be there when you collect?
No, the seller just needs to be in. You do need to be at the Earby end, or someone you trust, to take delivery.
Can you pick up two items on one run?
Yes, if both fit in the van and the route makes sense. Send both listings and addresses together.
