Trading on Nostalgia Pie
Buying and Selling
Nostalgia Pie does NOT claim to be a site primarily for buying and selling.
However, we know that many nostalgia addicts are always on the lookout for certain items. For that reason we have set up a message board called The Old Memorabilia Shop. Anything related to buying, selling, or exchanging should be posted here ONLY.
Posts placed on other boards will be moved/deleted.
Nostalgia Pie has put certain measures in place for posting ads on The Old Memorabilia Shop in order to ensure as much as possible that transactions/exchanges are as pleasant and as problem-free as possible.
In any transaction there is always an element of risk. Whether you are looking to buy, sell or exchange, always proceed with caution and common sense. Make sure you fully understand the terms of the deal and what you are buying/selling/exchanging.
However Nostalgia Pie does not take any responsibility for issues that arise from sales, suggestions or recommendations of any kind between members. While we appreciate being told of any disputes, please understand that other than block a repeat offender, there isn't much else NP can do.
Should a problem occur, please take up the matter with the relevant parties e.g. - eBay, PayPal, trading standards etc.
To use the Old Memorabilia Shop message board for selling vintage and retro-related items only, sellers must have:
-
an eBay, Etsy, Depop or some other legitimate online shop
-
a bricks and mortar store
-
a regular market stall
-
a pitch at an established car boot sale
Whenever you post items to the Old Memorabilia Shop, you must include the relevant links to where these items can be purchased. Nostalgia Pie is NOT an ecommerce site. No selling or buying can directly take place here.

Swapping or giving away items (without monetary exchange) is permitted.
-
