What is a Nearly New Sale?

Nearly New Sales are run by NCT volunteers across the UK. Sales take place throughout the year, but you will find Spring and Autumn are the busiest times of year for our sales.

Nearly New Sales offer parents the opportunity to sell their high quality used clothes, toys and baby items, clearing out clutter and making some money, while supporting other local parents.  You don't need to be an NCT member to shop, sell or volunteer with NCT Nearly New Sales. You can find sales using our Event Finder of contact your local branch here.

Top Tips for shoppers

From experienced Nearly New Sale shoppers:

  1. Be there early: larger sales can have long queues and its best to get their early for a place at the front
  2. Remember your NCT membership card: NCT members get an early start to their shopping at all sales so don’t leave your card/membership number at home! You can replace a missing membership card here. Speak to your local branch to for member's opening times.
  3. Come prepared! Have a list of what you want to get, in order of importance so you can get to those things quickly
  4. If you are pregnant or have your children with you make sure you bring somebody along to help to carry things as you never know when that bargain is going to crop up.  You might think you went to buy clothes but you could come home with all sorts of goodies!
  5. Volunteer– if you have a few hours spare then you can volunteer at your local sale. Lots of sales give their volunteers some pre-sale shopping time to say thank you and to ensure they don’t miss all the shopping
  6. Bring cash - lots of sales now use chip and PIN machines to take payments, but it's always worth checking with the branch first and making sure you have enough to buy that last minute bargain!

If you have any questions please contact your local branch, or you can contact enquiries@nct.org.uk.
