Collecting from Knaresborough sellers, and bringing buys home to HG5
When the seller is in Knaresborough, the address says a lot about the job. A house on Eastfield or the Scriven side of town usually means a front-door collection with the van outside. A cottage in the old town may mean the item comes down a narrow stair and along a steep street to where the van can stop, so a quick word with the seller about access saves time. Ask them to have it emptied, clean and ready near the door.
If you are the buyer in Knaresborough, the item comes to you blanketed and strapped, and it is checked at the seller's door against the photos and description you send. If something does not match, you get a call before anything changes hands. You pay the seller yourself, once the item has been checked if you prefer.
What to send before a Knaresborough Marketplace pick-up
- A link or screenshots of the listing, including the measurements
- The seller's address, their number and a time they will be in
- Both postcodes, so the fixed price covers the whole run
- Your own door and stair measurements, so a large piece is not bought for a room it cannot reach
- Anything you want checked in particular, such as a wobbly leg or a working motor on a recliner
- If the seller is in the old town, ask whether the item has to come down a stair to the street, since the van may stand a little way off on Kirkgate or near the castle
Knaresborough seller addresses and what collecting from each involves
- Old-town cottagesstairs and a carry, so the seller should expect a few extra minutes
- Eastfield and Aspinestate houses where the van parks close to the door
- Grimbald Crag and the Scriven sidenewer homes with space outside to load
- High Street flatsupper-floor sellers, where the item comes down one staircase

Pricing a Marketplace collection in or out of Knaresborough
The price covers the whole run from the seller's door to yours, so the distance between the two and any stairs at either end set it. It is fixed once you send the listing and both postcodes. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
Marketplace Collection in Knaresborough: your questions
Can you hand the cash to the seller for me?
Pay the seller yourself. The item is checked against the listing at the seller's door, and if it is not as described you get a call first and decide.
What if the item will not fit in my house?
That is why your own measurements matter. Measure the front door, hall and stair turn before you commit to buying. If a bed or wardrobe comes apart, we can dismantle it at the seller's and rebuild it at yours.
Can you take my old one away at the same time?
No, we do not take old items away. North Yorkshire Council's bulky waste collection is the route for that, or a charity that collects furniture in good condition.
