https://www.nct.org.uk/local-activities-meet-ups/nct-nearly-new-sale-sellers-principles
We ask that you use a maximum of 50 of your labels for clothes as the amount of hanging space we have is limited.
Also, please ensure you select Autumn /Winter clothes only for this sale please.
Seller drop off: There are 2 options for drop off slots:
Either Friday 8th November 7:30pm-9.00pm or
Saturday 9th November 8:00am-8:30am
Seller collection: Saturday 9th November 2pm-2.30pm
With collection please be aware the clear up is a massive operation and we cannot guarantee what time we will be
finished, we always welcome the extra help if you arrive before we finish. Please note we only have the hall until 3pm
and endeavour to be out and locked up by 2.45pm.
If you know when you will be dropping off please could you tick the appropriate box when you register so that we have
an idea of how many volunteers we need each day.
We will be collecting donations for charity at the end of the sale so if you don't wish to collect your unsold items please
tick the box when you register so that we know what to donate on the day. Please note anyone who does not
confirm with us either on registration or when they drop off their goods that they are donating will be expected to
collect.
Anyone not collecting goods that we are not pre advised to be donated will have 50% of their takings deducted. This is
not something we do lightly, however, all the donations are picked up before the seller collection and over the last
few sales we have had a massive increase in items being left behind for us to deal with and as volunteers this gives us
a lot of extra work on an already very busy day.
You will automatically be assigned your previous seller number if you sold at our last sale, otherwise you will be
automatically allocated the lowest number available
If possible please opt for a BACS payments as this means any money you make will automatically be sent to you
within 2 weeks of the sale.
All information is held securely by NCT and is not accessible by any of the volunteers. For anyone who does not wish
to have a bank transfer a cheque will be posted but unfortunately we cannot guarantee a date for this as it is done
by NCT main office.
Once you have registered your tickets will arrive by post and a seller information pack will be emailed to you.
If you would like your tickets for your sold items returned to you after the sale please add the return ticket add on to
your sign up. There is a fee of £3 to cover the cost of postage and packaging and they will sent out to you once
counting has finished.
As always our sales cannot run without the help of our volunteers so please do consider volunteering on the day or
evening before to help set up. Anyone volunteering will be able to join the pre-sale and access the sale before it is
open.
There are 3 slots available to volunteer :
Friday 6.00pm-10.00pm
Saturday 8.00am-12noon (with 30 min break for pre sale)
