Trade days in back rooms
Bring a crate. Leave with a different crate.
We don't take a cut, we don't hold your money and we don't post anything anywhere. It's a room, a turntable and other people's shelves. Bring cash and a bag.
For landlords — takes you to your pub admin.
Everybody's selling. Nobody's a dealer.
Four steps, and three of them are somebody else's job.
A pub says yes
Landlords tick one box when they sign up. That is the entire onboarding process.
Sellers book a table
Free, or a couple of quid that goes behind the bar rather than to us.
You turn up with cash
And a bag. You will need the bag. You always need the bag.
Play it before you buy it
There is a deck on the bar. Two tracks, then decide, then move along.
What this
is not
There's no checkout, no basket, no postage and no fees. We are not building a marketplace and we are not holding your money. We list who's hosting, when, and who's bringing what. The rest happens face to face, over a pint, the way it always did.
Buying
Bring cash.
Plenty of sellers take cards on their own reader or a payment link, but not all of them — and a back room's phone signal is rarely what it should be.
Selling
Take your own payments.
Cash, a card reader of your own — SumUp, Square and Zettle all cost about the price of two records, with no monthly fee — or a bank payment link. Check the reader works offline before the doors open, and watch the money land before the record leaves the table.
Hosting
Your card machine is for your bar.
Running a seller's sale through the pub's own till or card machine breaks your agreement with your card provider, makes it your turnover, and makes any dispute yours. Sellers take their own money; you pour the drinks.
A trade day goes up here when a pub that has signed up opens its back room for one.
We're choosing our founding pub. Could it be yours?
Put your name down for one. Pubs see the count on their own admin page — a trade day, a vinyl night or a life-drawing session starts when enough people ask for it, and never before.
The good stuff is never in the first crate.
It is never in the last one either.
Tick one box when you sign your pub up and we'll put you on the map with the gigs, the vinyl nights and the quizzes. You keep the bar takings. We keep nothing. The room is full by half eleven.
Share what you're bringing so people know whether to get out of bed. Rough counts, rough genres, rough prices — nobody's asking for a spreadsheet, and there's no listing fee because there's no listing.
