I think fairs like CAL help sales. People see stuff but can only afford a mug so they look online for something by that potter that's a bit cheaper.

I think you are correct about fairs such as CAL, where you are going to have to pay top price. The cost of being there is extremely high and if you live in or near London added costs are minimal. However, there are a number of potters that not only come from all over the UK but around the world and then you need to add on transport (maybe custom costs) and accomodation.

I suspect few make much of a profit but it is places like that where certain people with money will go to buy and never go elsewhere. That's the same with Art Fairs in London too, even those called "Affordable" where the art might be affordable but many times more expensive than buying the same thing elsewhere.

Going back to the actual thread, Naomi, selling things on Ebay and buying even more with the money is NOT Spring Cleaning.

No, but it keeps your OCD demons happy!

There is a moral here somewhere. If your collection is reaching gargantuan proportions. Lets face it.1000+ =Join Collectaholics Anonymous Laughter

....Anyways.Don't buy anything that you would want to sell on Ebay for £10 or more. That umpteenth boot Sale bargain at 50p is as lethal as that next bottle of wine! lol!

Indeed, I've been avoiding the 50p mugs and jam pot so-called bargains after finding they don't sell on eBay, unless priced at 50p!

But I've moved stuff around a bit and they're less dusty so I think that qualifies as spring cleaning.
