Secondhand stallholders CAN sell:
Only GOOD quality nearly new items relating to maternity, babies, toddlers and children up to the age of 8 years. Our customers expect excellent quality and will NOT buy overpriced, damaged, dirty, well worn or not in working order electrical or battery operated items on sale at our events. If you have items you wish to sell that fits this description PLEASE DO NOT bring them to our events, as buyers will NOT buy them and will simply by-pass your stall. Only good quality items in like new condition are accepted at our events.
The sellers that turn up with good quality like new condition children’s items generate far more sales. Parents will only buy items that have been well looked after, clean and in full working order and at a price that’s reasonable and not overpriced. We are not a car boot nor jumble sale but a high quality nearly new sale. If items that are not up to our company's standard are seen on sale we will ask the seller to remove them from their stall. Ultimately the items on sale that are purchased will end up in the hands of children, so only high quality items, in full working order, are allowed at our events. By selling poor quality items you will not only disappoint the buyer but ultimately the child that received it.
Secondhand or business sellers selling items for a charity:
If you wish to book a table to sell on new or secondhand children’s items for the purchase of generating funds for a registered charity, you must email us upon booking the stall with a letter of approval from the registered charity giving you permission to raise money on their behalf. Sellers are not permitted to collect money on behalf of the charity unless authorisation by a registered charity is given to sell secondhand or new goods or to collect money via their official collection box. No raffles or games will be permitted unless prior arrangements have been made with Little Poppets Preloved Market. Stallholders are entirely responsible for all monies collected/generated from the market reaching the registered charity.
