Hebden Bridge Marketplace buys that start or end on a hillside

Adverts rarely mention steps. A seller in the lower home of an over-and-under may call it a ground-floor flat, when the door is two flights below the road where a van can wait. Before paying a deposit, ask the seller three things: which street the door faces, how many steps lead to it, and whether the item arrived in one piece or in sections. Anything that came down a narrow stair in parts will need to go back up the same way.

Many people would rather not pay a stranger before seeing the item. The piece is compared with the advert and the photos you sent before it is loaded. A cracked frame or a missing part means a phone call to you first, and nothing is loaded or paid until you decide. Pickups can be booked up to 8pm on any day of the week.

For a seller in the centre, an early or an evening pickup keeps the van clear of the daytime visitors on Bridge Gate
The item is checked against the listing before it goes in the van
Beds and existing flat-pack can be taken down at the seller's end and rebuilt at yours
