SELLERS EARN 70-75% Sellers receive 70% of their sales. Sellers who also volunteer to help out at the sale (one or more 3-hour shifts on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday) will receive 75% of their sales. Please note that a registration fee of 60 kr will be deducted from the seller's revenues at the end of the sale. This fee helps to cover just a small portion of the expenses incurred in running the sale, and includes 2 Ikea FRAKTA bags in which we'll pack your unsold items after the sale. Sellers will receive their earnings in their bank accounts on 10 April 2019.
SPECIAL BENEFITS FOR SELLERS WHO VOLUNTEER TO HELP OUT AT THE FORUM EXPO SALE Sellers who work 1+ shifts can sell 200 items each -- 50 items more than sellers who do not volunteer. Sellers who work 2+ shifts do NOT have to pay the registration fee (kr 60).
DEADLINE TO CANCEL SELLER REGISTRATION Registered sellers who find that they cannot participate as planned need to cancel their registration before the deadline (Thursday, 21 March 2019 at 20.00) by sending an email to Stavanger Kids Sale. This deadline is in place in order to give us enough time to contact people on the waiting list before the weekend so that they have enough time to enter their items before the deadline. Sellers who cancel their registration after this deadline will be sent a faktura/bill for the 50 kr registration fee since they took a seller spot that won't be used. Registered sellers who simply do not show up at the sale and who neglect to contact the sale to cancel will not be allowed to be sell at future sales.

QUALITY ITEMS ONLY! We only accept quality items in VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT CONDITION. We will inspect items at drop-off as well as during the sale, and items that are worn out, dirty, missing buttons/snaps, torn will not be accepted. When sellers pick up their unsold items on Sunday evening, they are expected to look through the pile of items we did not accept, and to take home any items that belong to them. |
