End of the row or the tower's bay: where the van stops for a Salford seller

Collecting from a terraced row in Seedley or Weaste, the van stops at the end of the street and the piece is trolleyed along the pavement. Ask the seller to have it in the front room or the hall, not upstairs behind a bed, and to say if it comes apart. In Broughton, parts of Great Clowes Street are setts and Back Hope Street is cobbled, so a heavy piece is wheeled carefully over the stones.

A seller in a Quays or MediaCityUK tower will need to bring it down in the goods lift or let the driver up, so ask whether the concierge needs to know. On a match day at Moor Lane, the streets around Salford City's ground in Kersal are under a permit scheme. Pay the seller yourself before the van arrives, and confirm the item is as described from photos.
