Nearly New Sales
We hold sales of good quality 'nearly new' baby and children's wear, maternity clothes and nursery equipment in the Spring and Autumn. We hold a separate Toy Sale shortly before Christmas. Great bargains can be found and NCT members get in before the public for first picks! Our branch holds some of the biggest and most successful Nearly New Sales in the country - there are often 5000 items or more on sale, so it really is well worth a visit.

More about Nearly New Sales
Only a limited number of sellers can sell at each Nearly New Sale, to ensure we have sufficient space to display everything. If you would like to register as a seller, you need to apply online within the dates specified above. NCT members are allowed to register before non-members. We often have more people wanting to sell than we have space for, therefore it is best to get in as soon as possible once registration opens! We do operate a waiting list in case anyone drops out.
What can I sell?
At our clothes and equipment sales in March and September you can sell good quality baby and children’s clothes (from coats to shoes, swimwear to nightwear), equipment (e.g. high chairs, cots, buggies, sheets, gro-bags) and maternity wear/equipment. The upper age limit for children’s clothes is age 10. At our Toy Sale in November you can sell all types of baby and children’s toys. There are some items which we are unable to sell such as car seats, baby bouncers, mains powered electrical equipment, breast pumps, and baby bottles/teats. A full list is given in the guidelines.
Here is an example copy of the Seller's Guidelines that you can read if you're interested in selling and want to know exactly how a sale works: Sample Seller Guidelines
Fancy getting the pick of the bargains?
Volunteer to help at the sale for at least 2 hours, and you can buy before the sale opens. We need helpers on the Friday evening before the sale, and all day Saturday to help with setting up, running the sale, and clearing up afterwards. You do not need to be an NCT member to volunteer.
