CHANGE OF TIMES : The Autojumble will now be 1 hour on Saturday evening then 2 hours on Sunday lunchtime (as per title).

Background...
I suggested in another thread that it could be useful to have an organised Autojumble as part of the Weekender and I've been asked to organise it so this thread is to see who's interested in using it to SELL or GIVE AWAY stuff.
You can also use it to deliver/collect stuff that you have bought off/ sold to other members.
The idea is to organise it like a car boot sale, anyone wanting one can get a pitch (at no charge), lay out their car parts and anyone can come along and have a nosey, snaffle themselves a bargain or even do a bit of bartering.
The advantages for buyers as I see it are :-
- No postage costs or messing about packaging things up and taking them to the post office/waiting in for couriers etc.
- See before you buy. No more buying mint calipers that, when they arrive, look like they've been dredged off the seabed
- Buy stuff you didn't realise you wanted coz its just so cheap
- No need to wait for your goods after paying -hand over the cash and take the goods away.
- Everyone's a member so you can buy with a little more confidence than if its a 3-post Guest.
For sellers :-
- A good chance to do your fellow members a bit of good and re-introduce all those old spares and bling parts you'll never get around to using back into the club
- Make room to move in your shed/garage/spare bedroom !
- No wondering if paypal are going to snatch back the money after you've send the goods
- No need to faff about going to the post office for something that's only worth a fiver
So, what do you need to do...
If you are a seller, either
- take the lazy route and PM me asking for a pitch and I'll sort one for you
OR
- post in this thread with a list of the things you will be bringing and I will automatically add you to the list of people wanting a pitch.
OR
- if you only have one or two things you want to offer up, PM me with details and I'll put them in a general pitch next to mine and find them new owners on your behalf. You will have to label them up with your name, phone number and a price though. You'll need to come and collect the unsold part or your money at the end though.
There is no obligation for you to be there for the full 3 hours. Come and go as you please. I'll be there for the 3 hours but hopefully someone will bring me something to eat and drink
If you are a buyer, just turn up between 6pm and 7pm on Saturday or 12noon and 2pm on Sunday and grab a bargain or look through the rest of this thread and see if you can spot a bargain and reserve it before you get to Snetterton.
PLEASE DO NOT POST ON THE THREAD except to post a list of things to sell. Otherwise it will get horribly messy.
If you have questions please PM me or post in the other thread I've linked here.
