Frequently Asked Questions:
SELLING:What can I sell?
Sustainable fashion!
This means only pre-loved, vintage, upcycled, handmade clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories (belts, hats, scarves, etc). Upcycled and handmade items must be made by the seller themselves. You can have multiples. You can have up to 3 NEW WITH TAGS items per stall. (We don't allow ex retail, shop closing down or multiples) All items MUST be laundered and free from rips and stains. What prices can I put on my items?
You can price items however you like.
The majority are bargain hunters, but there are also conscious shoppers and those looking for quality, classic pieces. Be open to negotiation/haggling. Don't waste time pricing everything individually if you're happy to negotiate, try "everything on this rack, $10" etc. Why do I need to do promotion?
We promote the event, but it's up to you to promote your stall.
Social media is the easiest and FREE! Share the FB event, poster etc to friends, family and workmates. Others will post on FB marketplace and reddit too. Those who self-promote the most will usually be in the top 3 sellers for the day, every time. Often selling up to, and over $1000. Those who don't do any promotion, at the same event, will often complain that there weren't enough shoppers through the door. Which one do you want to be? How much money can I make?
That depends on you!
Our record top seller made $5,245 while others made $0 at the same market. The difference was: WHAT you're selling PROMOTION of your stall/items PRICES you're selling at HOW YOU DISPLAY your items Items that are less likely to sell: Low ticket items (Kmart, Cotton On and other fast fashion items) Ripped, stained, pet/cigarette-smelling items If you display your items on a table, a box or on the floor Items that are MORE LIKELY to sell: If you have great brands, appealing, or in-demand items If you hang your items and display them nicely. The national average for sales per stall is between $400-600 and 20-30 items. What are the t&C's?

VIP stallholders can choose their site. We share a link to our live Google sheet floorplan on Monday before the market. Everyone will have access to view the floor plan on Thursday before the market. You can not move or overflow from your allocated space. It's not fair for everyone else. We're strict on this. ARE THERE ANY CHANGE ROOMS?

You're welcome to bring your own; it must fit within your site. Otherwise, if it's outside your stall, we ask that it be available for everyone to use. Feel free to ask to hold peoples drivers license while they're trying on your items, for security. You're welcome to have a helper on market day to keep track of your items. We are not responsible for the security or damage of any of your items. WHAT DO I DO WITH MY UNSOLD ITEMS?

BUYING:what to bring
GOLD COIN - $1 or $2 to help us cover costs.
CASH - Some stalls MAY offer bank transfers or Eftpos, but not all. BAGS - you'll need a big one (or two) for all the bargains you score. YOUR FRIENDS - Shopping is SO much better with your pals! how our markets work
At our events, we have individual stalls selling their sustainable fashion items. Usually, wardrobe clearouts or resellers.
Each stall is run independently, so please: ASK each stallholder before you try on their items. RETURN items to where you found them. The price might be negotiable; please ask. PAY for the item at the stall where you found it. What can I buy there?
Sustainable fashion! Preloved, vintage, handmade and upcycled clothing, shoes and jewellery.
All the stallholders are independent, so each will have their own stock. Some have cleared out their own wardrobes, others thrift/upcycle for a living. This means there's always variation in sizes, colours, patterns and seasonal items. We try our best to accept a variety of stalls that will cover different sizes, etc, but we don't know what someone might bring on the day. Check each Facebook event for a full list of each stallholder and what they're bringing, including brands and sizes. Payment options
CASH - ALL stalls will accept cash, so it's best to bring it.
Some stalls accept bank transfers, and a small handful may have EFTPOS. Upcoming events
