As the title suggests - any experiences? I have a load of kit that needs getting rid of, new/old/retro etc. Rather than try stuff on ebay with the assiciated faff thought it would be worth a try.

One of lifes simple but most important lessons is to never go anywhere that uses the words Pop-up or Artisan in its title. Only disappointment at best, and boiling rage at worst, can ever come of it.
I'm not wanting anything from the place, just selling my own stuff! Want to know whether its worth bringing a car load of stuff from Huddersfield really.
Not a Royal Mail Confiscated Goods Pop Up by any chance ?

Not wanting to question this very solid axiom for living with actual facts or anything, but I went into Popup Bikes a couple of months ago out of curiosity. It seems a nice enough place, trendy name notwithstanding. Not actually "pop-up" at all in that it's pretty much permanent as far as I can see. Coffee was alright. Dunno what the jumble will be like though.

I didn't know it existed but need some new wheels or hubs for a frame with a 126mm dropout and that place looks like it might have what I need. Cheers OP.

Having been in there, I reckon if you bring over a job lot of tweed flat caps, and 'classic' steel frames, powder coated pink, you'll make an absolute killing!!
Bump for the new crowd.
Hmm, sounds interesting. I've been wondering if there was anything like this 'local' to me as I've got a few bits & pieces I could do with getting rid of as well.
Will there be pulled-pork there and other street-food?
Definitely not worth the effort. There are regular bike jumbles around here and you seldom see anything worth buying though it's good to see that the present generation of cyclists is no worse than their parents for hoarding rubbish in their sheds.
You will struggle to cover the fee for the stall. Better stick it all on Ebay.
I didn't bother going as the organisers never got back to me about the suitability of the stuff I wanted to sell - too far a journey to chance it.
Most of the stuff I have is lower value but decent stuff, the kinda stuff that is a pain to list on ebay for the amount it'd sell for.
They probably sensed from your email that you didn't have quirky facial hair, like a handlebar moustache, or full sleeve tattoos. so would have repelled their normal clientele
