Nearly New Sale
Our next sale will take place on Sunday 21st October, seller registration expected to open 16th July 2012. You can sign up for our Nearly New Sale newsletter to receive updates on the sale and seller registration.
WE ARE CELEBRATING A RECORD BREAKING NEARLY NEW SALE!
Sunday 4th March saw 425 eager buyers snap up almost 5000 bargains at our latest Nearly New Sale. Local parents were able to declutter their home of used baby and childrens' items and allow parents and parents-to-be purchase them at great prices.
A big thank you to the 100 volunteers and especially the NNS committee who made it happen!
Nearly New Sales Happen Twice Every Year in March and September...
Cash-strapped parents and parents-to-be in Essex can find all the top quality baby clothes, toys and equipment they need at Brentwood's NCT Nearly New Sales, and save around 70% on what they would cost brand new.
Well-established and trusted by over 200,000 parents who visit them every year, NCT Nearly New Sales represent the best sales of excellent quality used baby and children’s items.
NCT Brentwood Branch Nearly New Sales take place at Brentwood School Sports Centre, Middleton Hall Lane, Brentwood.
Your local NCT Nearly New Sale offers an affordable alternative to trawling the high street for pricey baby products. Meanwhile, families with baby goods they no longer need can ensure they go to a good home and make some cash at the same time. Items must be in excellent condition, and sellers keep up to 75% of the proceeds while the rest is returned to fund NCT’s work.
NCT Nearly New Sales, sponsored by Persil-Bio, are the charity’s largest fundraiser, raising over £1 million every year to help support parents in their communities and through UK wide projects. They help NCT branches provide face-to-face support to parents on their doorsteps, as well as funding national helplines, breastfeeding counselling, training antenatal and postnatal teachers and many more services.
Rachel Hadley, Nearly New Sale Coordinator, NCT Brentwood Branch, says: “NCT Nearly New Sales are a simple idea, with so many benefits. Some parents sell items they no longer need, others hunt for bargains, and whether you’re buying, selling or both you can be sure you’re helping to support other parents in Essex by funding NCT charity’s vital work. The Sales are open to everyone, not just NCT members,”
Following a successful trial in 2011, we have secured chip and pin machines again, and therefore will not be accepting cheques: cash or credit / debit cards only.
Please note that aisles at our Nearly New Sale are very narrow.
We strongly encourage you to leave pushchairs at home.
