Mr Crabbe is a real expert with a lovely range of stock. Given the way the price of Chinese porcelain has rocketed over the past few years it was a very pleasant surprise to find 18th century and earlier pieces in perfect condition for less than £100 and he is always happy to haggle. He also has a small selection of cloisonné and jade etc. too. Highly recommended.

There are quite a few interesting stalls, with a funky leather and other fabric products stall, several crafted jewellery stands, some pottery and a really nice stall selling bowls turned from wood. Its a bit pricey for day to day purchases, but could be a good place to get a one-off or something special

There are a couple of good jewellery stands that have very nice earring and other bits and the usual pottery stands, one of which often has seconds for sale which make it a bit cheaper. It's not a cheap place to visit as it seems to be marketed largely towards the clientele that Cambridge attracts which is mainly upmarket people but it is always worth a wander around and there are some bargains amongst the expensive stuff. A good place to take the parents if doing the grand tour of Cambridge and seeing all the touristy bits.

They buy and re sell all sorts of goods from DVD's and games to guitars and TV's and they are good at creating decent prices! This treasure chest is located on Mill Road which I am beginning to call 'The Road of Wonders'! There is something a little off about dear old Cambridge Resale and that is the gun department they seem to be fashioning at the back of the store. I haven't yet enquired into this and maybe it's best not to?! That aside, it's a great place with a wealth of things to buy and don't forget, they don't just sell to you, they by from you too.

The shop has a website too which will give you a much broader look at what they sell. When i first went into this shop i was quite amazed at the smell, its smelt of insense- lots and lots of insense mixed with some sort of drug, it must ahve been. But whatever it was it smelt great! A good feeling whilst being in there and coming out! The staff are super friendly here and will do whatever they can to help out! This can also be said about the online/phone teams too! Although they are based in Bury St Edmonds, which is very close. The shp sells lots of trainers and hoodies and combats and skirts, all by well known brands too which can be seen from some of th prices. Which although fair i suppose could eb lower. They have lots of colour in the shop too, and you just want to look at everything. It really is very weird but cool at the same time! So if your looking for a new bong or bandana or even trainers sunrise has it all! Definately worth going to even if you dont want or need to buy anything! Guaranteed you will be on the webiste in future checking it out!

I have previously bought little wooden and metal heart decoration to hang on the wall. THe also do a range of the very fashionable retro metal tins, with the writing on the front. I have one for my pegs and one for washing powder. The items are reasonably priced. At the moment they have an absolutely stunning range of Christmas decorations.
