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

Why do I need to advertise the event?
The market is yours! We're simply providing you a space to sell your things.
To keep stall fees as low as possible, we rely on word of mouth from our stallholders for 90% of our promotion. We also find it's more organic 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 we've had is $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 not going to sell
If you have ripped, stained, pet/cigarette smelling items - they're not going 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 some great brands/special/appealing/in demand items - they're more likely to sell
If you launder and hang your items - they're more likely to sell
If your rack is strong (and doesn't look like it'll fall over when shoppers sift through) - 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)
