I moved into a house recently where the previous owners were hoarders. The cupboard under the stairs was full of rolls of wallpaper. Most of them went to the tip, especially the opened ones or damaged etc but we have several rolls of some. Does anyone know if I can sell this? The rolls are wrapped but there is no name or label on them.
lots of wallpaper going spare

have you thought about donating to your local council for the benefit of people moving into homes with no money i.e ex homeless or single parents?

some councils do some don't but fair point.
I've sold loads of odd rolls at boot sales and also given them to charity shops - some people just want enough to paper the cupboard under the stairs, porch etc.
Sorry to vent my anger in your thread JiveFuzzy, but some cases are genuine.
Good idea, but they probably won't be allowed to take it nowadays for some H&S rule!
A disabled relative of mine had to give up her house and move into a ground floor council flat but did get vouchers from the council to redecorate the entire flat...£90 worth! Meanwhile the druggie family upstairs wreck their flat and are constantly having repairs done, all paid for by the council (us really).The council give them vouchers worth big money. Just see them in Wilko's loading their trolleys. Usually Roma Gypo's.
Never a truer word spoken!!

The previous owner used to work for Laura Ashley so it's a fairly good bet they were from there - prob the rolls without lables were an end of line or something. I've got 46 rolls of one green pattern. About 10 rolls of a red ...
Crikey, I didn't expect you to have that many!
Dec is right in saying that there is no way of telling if they are from the same batch but you could still sell them if you explain the situation beforehand. 'Sold as seen' is the usual way of getting out of any comeback.
You could advertise them on ebay stating that they have no labels and that you can't guarantee they match and see what offers you get.
If it is the type of paper that can be used beneath a dado rail then you can often complete a wall with one roll and start a new roll for another wall. This means there would be no concern with pattern matching, only shading differences on sepeprate walls, which some people are willing to overlook.
Just make sure you are not handling stolen goods!
