Hi,


Thinking of selling at an upcoming Mum2Mum Market Nearly New Sale. Just wondered if anyone has had an experience as a seller at this event? Tried Ebay but had no luck selling. I have lots of girls items to sell and they are in extremely good condition- Startrite shoes, Next jackets,as well as some equipment and toys.

If anyone has sold at this event I would be grateful for some feedback, just to know if it's worth my while as the stallholder fee is quite pricey- ?25!!

Hello, I did a stall at the Baby and Children's Market sale at St Barnabas' Hall in Dulwich village last year - different company running it but similar thing. Think the stall was ?20 and I made about ?120 after I'd paid for that, selling mainly toddler clothes & baby equipment (all high street brands). Quite a lot of people turned up despite it being a hot sunny day when I thought people would probably be in the park. So it was worth it, but it was quite time consuming getting all the clothes washed, making signs etc! Sounds obvious but my tip would be that if you have a lot of stuff to shift, take the clothes for the time of year coming up - the sale I did was in early summer & the summer dresses, sun suits etc flew but no one was interested in really nice snowsuits, anoraks etc

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
