<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin777, post: 2131041, member: 14924&quot;]That painting looks absolutely massive but it must be an optical illusion! I know Speke very well because my best mate lives near to John Lennon airport and I have spent many fine evenings in the St Ambrose social club. The first item that I ever sold on eBay was bought from a charity shop there... it was a crombie style overcoat that cost me £5 and it was sold to someone in Blackburn for about £50.</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw a BBC documentary about The Dingle a few months ago and it was really interesting. It&#039;s an iconic part of Liverpool and the Scouse accent is as thick as the Mersey in that part of the city... I think Ringo Starr was born in one of the streets that were built by Welsh labourers but he probably hasn&#039;t been back to that area for many years.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know too much about Norwich to be honest but I hear it&#039;s a nice place... the nearest I ever got to there was Ipswich. Me and a school friend called Stevie hitchhiked there in about 1984 to watch a football match and I think the round trip took us about 14 hours!</p><p><br /></p><p>I have never bought any jewellery from a charity shop but it&#039;s definitely something that I will be doing in the future. I have done well selling retro games in the past but it&#039;s getting more and more difficult to get decent items like that now because several tv programmes are telling people what to buy for maximum profit and even Loose Women had a segment about savvy shopping for second hand items recently.</p><p><br /></p><p>The last few months have been a total nightmare and most of my stuff has been sold now. I desperately need to replenish stock but that&#039;s gonna be difficult because of the social distancing measures that you mentioned... I will be having a good luck at the finds section of this forum and I fully intend to visit lots of car boot sales, auctions and jumble sales when this crisis is finally over.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
