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!
If you have low ticket items (Kmart, Cotton On and other fast fashion items) - they're less likely to sell.
If you have ripped, stained, pet/cigarette smelling items - they're less likely to sell.
If you display your items on a table, or in a box the shoppers have to sift through - less likely to sell
BUT
If you have great brands, appealing, or in demand items - they're more likely to sell
If you hang your items - they're more likely to sell
If you go HARD OUT on social media, promoting yourself and the markets - you could sell up to $4,500
(This is exactly what out top seller did for 2 weeks prior to their event)

2m deep x 4m wide = $70
January 2022

In person events:What do I need to get ready?
HAVE A SIGN WITH YOUR SIZES! Customers shop by size FIRST!
Have everything on hangers/folded ready BEFORE you arrive - it saves you SO much time on the day. Bring EVERYTHING you need. Change, racks, markers, tape etc. This includes lunch and drinks. There are usually plenty of chairs, help yourself. Not all venues have tables but when they do, they vary in size and condition. These wont be reserved. Where will my stall be?
For in person events - Stalls spaces will be marked out on the floor with tape. They are randomly allocated.
We will show you where you are on the day from our floorplan Only VIP stallholders can choose where they want their stall to be. You can't move or overflow from your allocated space. It's not fair for everyone else. We're strict on this. All stallholders and their helpers will be required to wear a "stallholder" lanyard for easy ID. Are there change rooms?
It is up to you if you allow people to try things on.
There are areas that can be used for changing - our portable shower tents or the toilets or, you can provide your own space within you stall space. 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?
At in person events - you can take them all home OR you can leave them with us to donate to our chosen, local charities.
Please take all racks, hangers and any rubbish away with you. These are NOT needed for our donations. What is the timeline on the day?
