www.curlew.co.uk - Second Hand Marquees

This site has been created because I had a problem selling second hand equipment. I found that Ebay was too unreliable and expensive. So I started my own site!

Why advertise with Curlew

Large number of visitors to the site

We receive over tenthousand visitors a mounth from all over the UK and from the rest of the world. I have mailing list with over 2,000 Marquee contractors, event organisers and furniure hire companies in the UK as well as a subscription service (see the box at the bottom of every page)

Ranked number one in google

We are ranked for the following search terms
Secondhand marquees, Clearspan secondhand, marquee sales, chairs, marquee and many more.

Cheeper than selling on Ebay

Its cheaper (Ebay = £178 www.curlew.co.uk = £50) see example below
The advert lasts until the toilet unit is sold
I maintain a opt-in list of buyers who are emailed when your ad is placed as well as 1,000 of revlivant business email adresses.
Listed Number 1 on Google with aprox 100 NEW visitors a day looking for second hand toilets.
In my experience you will get more money for your marquees
Customers can speak / email you.
Customers have time to see the marquee before buying.
Would YOU buy a marquee off Ebay!! If a listing lasts 7 days it give no time for a potential customer to find the advert, talk to you, then come and look at the unit then arrange finance. Most people will only bid a very very low price for anything that they have not seen.

What some of the advertisers say....

Hi Ben,

You web site has really taken off. I can't keep up with it. if you spend to long thinking about something , it's gone!

Hi Ben, still being swamped with enquiries but subject to the receipt of remainder of the monies and the collection of the equipment everything is now sold.

Really impressed with your whole operation. Many many thanks.

Kind regards

Geoff Letch

Thanks very much for putting the ad up so promptly.

And boy did it work well, the phone was off the hook and my inbox was swamped.

I'm sure it's why it sold for such a good price on eBay.

Well worth the money and I've highly recommended you to some of my friends and colleges.

We have used Curlew a lot in the past to source equipment to purchase in order to expand our range of marquees, and we find the site easy to use and unrivalled as a means of finding good quality, second-hand tents and furniture. We recently advertised a toilet unit for sale and were amazed at the number of calls we had through the site – having originally thought there would not be a buyer for the unit we actually sold it in a couple of days. Curlew should try matchmaking!

Many thanks, your site was incredibly helpful.
