About Moving On
What we do

Everyone is welcome, so come along and visit. You never know what you might find.

On the weekends. Check the website and newletter to confirm the times.
How does the sale work?
Every item is priced – you are welcome to come and see what is on offer. This is not an auction but it is an opportunity to browse and find some bargains.

We send an e-mail to everyone on our mailing list when we have a sale. If you would like to receive our mail contact us and we`ll add you to our database. Every week we send out a list of the items on sale and let you know where and when the sales are happening.
FAQs
Is it an auction?
No, everything is already priced.
Can you arrange deliveries?
Yes, we can recommend delivery people to you.
Can I buy things in advance?
No, you will have to come on the day of the sale – that way everyone has the same opportunity to buy items.
Can we view the items before the sale?
Only on the internet, as the sellers do not want to have people coming to their home except on the day of the sale.
Can I pay by credit card?
No, we can only take cash.
What people have to say about our services
"Thank you so much for handling the sale of goods in our home so efficiently and professionally, the day went so well and we were delighted with the great price you got for us on all the items sold.

Emma and David
"It is but an hour or two that we said goodbye but I wished to write to say a huge thank you for all your help and advice for the sale from my home this morning. I am most impressed at the way everything goes and flabbergasted at the speed at which the gannets descend upon the property and within the hour almost everything is gone !!! Quite incredible!! I feel much better now and feel that the few small things that are left over we can easily dispatch to the local charity. Take care of you and once again , thank you very much for everything."
Jo

Sue
"My parents had lived on a farm in Somerset West for nearly 30 years and wanted to retire and move to the coast. But they were stuck. Stuck with 30 years worth of things they didn't want or need anymore. I imagined it taking 30 years to move! Richard arrived and it took about 30min! Richard organized an amazing sale – there were lots of people informed and loads of people came. It was professional and I couldn't believe how quickly everything sold. His website is remarkable – people arrived clutching a print of his weekly mail, determined to buy a specific item and they had traveled far to be there. We sold everything! Even the things that we all thought nobody could possibly want or need! But people came wanting parts of things or a bargain on this or a beautiful yellow wood king size bed! So ‘Moving On' helped us pack up and move on. It's a great service!"
Adam
"I'd like to thank you for the great service you offer with Moving On, and for helping me sell the contents of my house that we no longer wanted. I was very happy with the way you conducted things and for being so pleasant to deal with, and I am recommending you to everyone. Well done on a great concept. Many thanks.
Marianne
"I used 'Moving On' to sell the contents of my mother's home and the response we got from potential buyers was amazing, not to mention Richard's marketing , organisation and management of the 'event'. From our first meeting where we discussed the items we wanted to sell and photographed them for his website to the physical pricing of the items (the day prior to the sale) and the sale on the day, Richard remained professional and calm throughout the process. For those of you moving on and thinking about getting rid of your stuff, give Richard a bell, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the value of your things!"
