Information for sellers
We are constantly trying to improve our sales so they run more smoothly for everybody involved. Experience through the NCT nationally has shown that the best way to run a sale is to use colour-coded seller's packs which are unique to you and the sale.

If you are thinking about selling at our next sale, please take the time to read the latest guidelines, as all packs that are ordered must be paid for, even if they are not used. The following documents are posted on the event page for each sale. They can be accessed by clicking on the link next to the relevant date in the table at the top of this page.
* Nearly New Sale - Sellers letter
* Nearly New Sale - Sellers list
* Nearly New Sale - NCT Regulations (Cheltenham version 2011)
* Nearly New Sale - Fri night drop off agreement

To order your seller's pack(s), please click here. 
Ordering is available for six weeks prior to the sale and closes the Sunday before the sale. Packs cost £2.50 each and this will be deducted from your sale cheque.

Please note, you will be charged for each seller's pack even if you do not use it.

A seller's pack contains:
60 labels which are unique to you and the sale. (If you order more than one pack, you will simply receive an additional set of labels.)
Fliers for you to promote the sale with your friends and family.

When a sale is imminent, ordering will be available. You will receive a confirmation email which will provide information on:
* When you must drop off your items for sale (Fri night before the sale)
* General information about the sale
* Unsuitable items
* How to fill in your labels
* The location of the venue

Please take the time to read all of the information as it could save you unnecessary effort and expense. Also please note that we now require you to download and print 2 documents as we do not routinely post out - the seller's letter and the seller's list. These are available from the related documents section on the event page for each sale. This can be accessed by clicking on the link next to the relevant date at the top of this page or by clicking on event search and finding the relevant sale date.

You will receive 70% of the sales value of the items you have sold, minus £2.50 for the cost of each seller's pack. The remaining 30% will go to the Cheltenham and North Cotswolds NCT branch.

It is preferable if all clothes are on hangers. Please note hangers will not be returned for sold items. Hangers are not available at the sale. Boxes will be provided for wellies, hats etc.

Helpers
We are always looking for volunteers to help run the sale. Tasks to be undertaken include:
* Taking entry fees
* Setting up tables and sorting items
* Preparing and serving refreshments
* Running pay stations
* Clearing up!

By helping at a sale you get the perk of getting the first pick of sale items - but you do need to give up a few hours of your time.

If you are interested in volunteering to help at a sale, please email nns@nctcheltenham.org, prior to the sale.

For any other queries, please ring Andrew, our Nearly New Sale Co-ordinator on 07886 481979. Please ring at considerate times, we are all volunteers and parents with young children.

You can help publicise the NNS by displaying a poster at your local nursery, playgroup, doctors surgery, office, supermarket or local shop. You can download a poster from the related documents section on the event page for each sale. This can be accessed by clicking on the relevant date at the top of this page.

You do not need to be an NCT member to sell or volunteer at the sales. Volunteers shop early! Selling is open to everyone, not just members. You will receive 70% of the value of the items sold, minus the cost of the seller's pack. Each seller's pack contains 60 pre-printed unique labels and a full set of instructions. Seller's packs are available for ordering 6 weeks before each sale and this facility closes the Sunday before the sale. To order a pack - click here or ring Andy on 07886 481979. Please be mindful of the time you ring, we are all volunteers.
