Welcome to the virtual Beckenham Green Marketplace :-)

Well enough people wanted it, yet a real one on the Green might take months, probably years, so why not use a group here on the site and allow anyone private, local artisan or business to sell their new or second hand goods.

It's not an advertising board, so no look at me posts please. Just post items you are actually selling, or why not also ask for those you'd like. So part free recycle, part market stall, a marketplace where it's always free to post and the virtual sun shines.

Yes, it's not all sell/buy - if you want to offer free stuff, have a clear out, table/garage sale then this is the marketplace here to use aswell. We all love a bargain.

If there has to be a rule about money, then it's up to you to sort it out and this site will not be responsible for anything posted here, nor get involved with any disputes, so act responsibly, use your better judgement and common sense thinking.

I'll add some helpful links and other cool stuff as the site grows and of course I'll be posting items for sale from my home and some giveaways too. I hope you'll join me in doing the same.

Vintage nest of coffee tables by Ercol - Collectable mid-century design

In a square design with two identical smaller tables which slide and fit underneath. The tables are made of solid oak and are carved with a mid-century style design around the edge (under the lip of the flat top which overlaps slightly) and on the legs. These tables were from the Colonial Range and were produced around the 1950's- 1960's, they are not overtly 'colonial' in their style and were designed with a more modernist feel to them whilst still being stylistically popular with the post-war conservative public.

They are made of solid oak and have a polished surface which shows the marvellous wood grain - curved / bevelled at the edges. Shows some signs of wear consistent with age but not significant. 


Looking for around £150 due to make, quality and condition. These normally sell for £250 upwards. Please see pics attached below and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Late Victorian Arts and Crafts Fireside / Grandmothers Chair For Sale

In a Nursing Chair / Fireside Grandmother chair design, the features and carved details suggest this dates from the late Victorian period in an arts and crafts style. 

The chair is is good condition with the springs and seating area comfortable and intact. The chair has its original brass casters which now have a wonderful patina and still work perfectly. The fabric is of high quality in a deep red with a woven design in gold - this has suffered some light cat-related damage in places but is not significant. 

Looking for offers in region of £85, please see pics attached and contact me with any questions. 

Many thanks ;)

For SALE on eBay - Very Rare Mattel 2001 Harry Potter Quidditch Race Game US converted to UK power - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=181112980503
You probably won't see one of these in the UK ever, because they were rare enough in the US for a start and they have US plug and transformers, but this I switched to a UK plug and adaptor.

In the US even just the two racing slot car characters go for £50+ alone on the rare chance of a US eBay sell, so being able to get a boxed working game is rather unique.

I bought the game 8 years ago, used 3 times and been in the loft since. I knew it was rare then and put it away for safe keeping. The track was erected but not all the other bits, so they are still in excellent order. The box is a little sorry at the ends, but more important it has an UK transformer and plug now sourced correctly and wired in to the track so you can play it fine. Here's a quick video I did to prove it all works well http://youtu.be/hf-iONcu-wI video

This is the 2001 Mattel Harry Potter Quidditch Slot Car racing game with Bludger and Snitch, Harry versus a Slytherin Quidditch player and all the pieces fully intact and working.

Feel free to ask any questions. A fabulous and unique game! Or better still a Harry Potter rarity that will continue to rise in value over time.
