Does anyone have any experience or advise on doing a Table Top or Nearly New Sale please?

[LoneStranger]

Im seriously thinking about doing a table top sale, one where you pay for the table and sell the items yourself.

The things i can think of that i have off the top of my head are:
night and day bottle warmer (bnib)
stroller (used few times, bought on way to airport to go on hols as forgot our at home)
advent microwave steriliser
chicco baby carrier
chicco baby walker
approx 20 girls coats aged 1-5
approx 30 girls jeans and trousers aged 1-5
approx 50 girls tops aged 1-5
swivel bath seat
approx 30 girls dresses aged 1-5
approx 20 girls shoes and boots aged 1-5
new born tan timberland boots, unworn
boys silk christening outfit aged 9-12 months
pink leapster2 unused
leapfrog fridge phonics, barely used
bluye leappad
about 10 leapster reading book things, unused

I am sure i have so much more, but just wanted to get an ealry idea about how to price things and any tips or advice please. TIA

I have done loads. Personally, I don't price things up when it is a table top sale (except maybe mentally, thinking what sort of price I want). If you don't price things, I think that leaves you free to respond to the circumstances, eg how many people there are at the sale, how much interest your table is receiving. The last sale I did, I had a car load of stuff (people carrier car load at that!) and I needed the stuff gone as we were starting building works at our house. It poured with rain all morning and barely more than 30 buyers came through the door. I flogged off quite a bit of stuff by asking the cheapest possible prices. A couple of people actually came back for more because I was selling so cheaply. At a crowded sale, I would have asked a lot more.

Thanks, DG, i hadnt thought about 'weather permitting' issues. I went to one with a friend last year and it seemed really chaotic, and that puts me off a little but others i know have said that its a lucrative opportunity to get rid of useful things at a reasonable price.

From the sound of the things you have to sell, I would think it would be lucrative on a good day. How much is the fee for the table?

how would I find out where a sale is near me? I could do with selling off alot of baby bits/toys/clothes Thanks

The table is £30 for the one i have provisionally booked in Feb and £25 for the one provisionally booked for March. The idea being to sell in March what doesnt go in Feb. I have plenty of storage space at home, just im not using any of these things so thought id sell it. I have previously given a moses basket, travel system, baby bath and accessories, baby clothes and baby monitor to one of my DPs friends, but thought i'd like to put the money into dcs accounts.

Eddas, I googled and found the NCT site useful. you enter your postcode and it brings up sales by distance or date. Look out nin your local paper as well though as churches and private individuals hold them as well. They dont all operate in the same way, but you may know that already.

Gosh £30 and £25 is a lot more than I have come across before. Round here, the usual rate is £10. Are you in a city with lots of passing trade?

I am in London. The areas I have booked are in 'well-to-do' areas, but not where I live. They have been known to have queues before opening time, but maybe i should look for other areas to see how they compare. The one in Feb is known to sell out of tables very very fast, but i dont know if that's an indication of anything.
