Quality Nearly New Sale - 25th September 2010
12:00 – 1:30pm  at Longwell Green School

How the Quality Nearly New Sale works

This is not a car boot or a tabletop sale!
Our aim is to help you find a new home for your good quality second hand items of – Nursery equipment and everything for babies and young children. The sale runs with volunteers selling your products. A 25% commission on the sold items will be given to the FOLGS. A single item sold over £60.00 will pay no more than £15.00 in commission to FOLGS. You will be given a sellers number and this will be on every item you sell including the amount you want for the item. You will attach this before the day. You can sell up to 50 items of which 10 can be clothes (We have to stick to this due to space)

Everything will be put in groups in the hall, i.e. all pushchairs together, all toys, nursery equipment etc. There is space outside for garden toys also. At the end of the sale your monies will be calculated and handed to you along with any unsold items.

Packaging of the items

Help us to make you money

To help your items sell, think about how you present them

• Please ensure the item is clean and not broken.
• If you have a toy with lots of parts and you don’t have the box, try using a shoebox (most shoe shops will be happy to give them away) cling film over the top to secure parts and enable the seller to see what is inside.
• Items to small for a shoebox could be placed in small clear food bags, sold in rolls. (Carrier bags unless clear generally get ignored by buyers)
• Buyers like to know battery operated toys work, Asda sell Smart price batteries at a very reasonable price.
• If selling clothes put as many on hangers as possible so we can display on rails. (Asda are happy to give away hangers at the George desk)
• If you are not staying at the sale ensure someone knows how to collapse any pushchair / travel cot / highchair etc (it can make or brake your sale).
