What prices can I put on my items?
You can price items however you like, it's your stall.
There seems to be two kinds of shoppers, the bargain hunters, and those looking for high quality, one off pieces.
For in person events, be open to negotiation/haggling.
Don't waste time pricing everything individually if you're happy to negotiate, try "this whole rack, $5" etc.

Why do I need to promote the event?
The market is yours! We simply provide a space for you to sell your things.
To keep stall fees as low as possible, we rely on your word of mouth for 90% of our promotion.
We find it's more genuine, sustainable, and a less commercial way to get the word out there.

How much money can I make?
That all depends on you!
Some stallholders have reported not making a cent, and the highest reported was $4,500, IN ONE DAY!
It comes down to WHAT you're selling, and HOW you're selling it!
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
If you go HARD OUT on social media, promoting yourself - you could sell up to $4,500
(Which is what our top seller did for 2 weeks prior to their event)
