OK, bit of a newbie to this selling lark - never managed to get to an Old Sod, so not 100% sure what to expect...... :oops:

Do you just book a pitch, turn up, open the back door of the truck and see if anyone wants to buy any of the junk you've been stashing away for years thinking that it might come in useful one day........??

MudRat,

Not sure who brought them along but we handed out quite a few sheets with the details on Sunday at the "We Go Off Road" charity pay and play. Seemed to be a good bit of interest!

Good luck!

Post by: MudRat on March 06, 2008, 21:30:28

Yep Def Happening, its on the A421 Signposted Finmere / Sunday Market, i would imagine that you would approach it from the north  :roll: so once in Buckingham follow signs for brackley, all details will be on the website (when its back online tmorrow  :grin:)

 Keep an eye on the website as there will be a very special Buyers Offer available to download after the 16th March  :-#

Post by: Yoshi on March 06, 2008, 21:35:25

I dunno if you can call it the Sodbury replacement anymore though as they have confirmed they are having theirs at the LRO show.

Title: Re: Land Rover Clearout 22nd March (Sodbury Replacement!) **WEBSITE UPDATED !***
Post by: MudRat on March 06, 2008, 21:58:24

Pondering this myself, having a big discussion over this in the pub with some mates. We finally figured it out like this:

LRO show (and all other shows) = More of a family type event, wife (or husbands) kids etc, nice day out.

Sortout = More of a male bonding with searching for rusty bits and obscure parts type event.

If you combine the two  = Having to be stuck on the stall trying to sell, with kids and missus and not really seeing anything, and if you do go off to look at other stalls or see the show then you get back and  the missus has sold your winch for a fiver!  8-[

So the landrover clearout is a replacement for Sodbury as we knew it, however we have taken all the best bits of the Newbury event and eliminated all the crap bits.

What do you think?
