Add News

 

Many people never consider buying used goods and always buy new, but this could be a big mistake and waste your money. Why don’t you check out the extensive range of used goods stores around Birmingham, and Birmingham online sections and be pleasantly surprised at the available quality and low cost of these goods.

Gumtree Birmigham

Gumtree is an online Birmingham classifieds site, listing everything from motorbikes to musical instruments. If you know what you’re looking for, you can get a good deal by purchasing it from a listing on Gumtree. After you’ve shopped, you can look for employment, a house to rent or stop by the community section and make some new friends with common interests. 

Craigslist (Birmingham/West Mids)

Similar to Gumtree, Craigslist has discussion forums, housing listings, personals and items for sale. ‘For sale’ categories include antiques, farm and garden, RVs and even things being given away for free. You can browse the listings or use the search bar to look for something specific.

Readers' World - Second Hand Books
137 Digbeth,
Birmingham 

This charming bookshop boasts an impressive range of reading matter, and is located just a short distance from the Bull Ring. Many unusual and out-of-print books can be found here, along with the more contemporary fare in all genres. Although small, the shop is comfortably crowded with hardback and paperback volumes, many tucked away in corners or piled up to the ceiling, so that special rare or unusual tome that would strike your fancy might require you to poke around some. But after all, you know that is part of the experience and appeal. The shop also carries magazines to suit your proclivities.

Reader's World is open Tues - Sat from 10am to 5.30pm and they boast the range from sci fi, to horror, to true crime, westerns, military, plays and poetry, cookery, philosophy, occult, art, fashion, fishing and more. Some modern first editions, along with old comics and annuals, film posters and ephemera, and some rare and unusual magazine. Around 4/5ths of their stock is paperback. They also are happy to consider buying any books you might be willing to part with.
