ANYONE CAN PARTICIPATE!
Anyone can participate as a seller! Registration for the autumn sale opens Monday, 16 June 2025, at 20.00. Please note that we can have a maximum of 250 sellers, and the seller spots go quickly. If the spots fill up, you can put your name on the waiting list. All important sale dates and deadlines can be found here.

ONE SELLER SPOT PER HOUSEHOLD
Sellers with multiple seller spots will be removed from the sale. We have long waiting lists for each sale. We want as many families to be able to participate as possible -- up to our 250 seller limit. Our sellers who volunteer for 3 or more shifts are rewarded with getting to sell 50 additional items. It is unfair to these sellers when other sellers create multiple accounts so that they can sell more items. We keep our registration fee low to make the sale accessible to all -- not to encourage multiple accounts. 
​
WE USE AN ONLINE SYSTEM TO ADMINISTER THE SALE
​Sellers must create a user account with our partner, My Consignment Manager (MyCM). We have used My Consignment Manager since 2013 and were the first in Norway to use this system!  (MyCM is currently available in English only, but instructions on how to navigate the site can be found in Norwegian on our website.)  This user-friendly, web-based system provides a personal seller page for each seller from which they can: ​
  • enter their items into a database
  • print out barcoded price tags
  • manage their inventory (and easily transfer unsold items from previous sales to the current sale)
  • sign up for volunteer shift(s)
  • sign up for a check-in appointment to drop off their items at the sale
  • see which of their items sold (updated lists are available on the evening of each sale day)
  • view their settlement report (lists all items sold and the amount earned)  
SELLERS PREPARE AND PRICE THEIR OWN ITEMS
Sellers select and prepare their items for the sale (please see the list of items you can/cannot sell), decide how much each item will cost,  enter each item online in their MyCM user account, and print and attach price tags to each item. Sellers can sell up to 150 items. 

OPTION TO SELL ITEMS FOR 50% OFF
​Sellers have the option (and are strongly encouraged) to sell any or all of their remaining items for 50% off during the half-price sale on Sunday from 10.00-16.00. These items will also be sold for 50% off at the Half-Price Pre-Sale for volunteers only on Saturday evening.  

SELLERS MUST FOLLOW OUR INSTRUCTIONS
​Sellers are expected to follow our tagging instructions which include specific information on how items should be entered into MyCM, and how tags should be printed and attached to each item.   
DROPPING OFF ITEMS
Sellers must sign up for a check-in appointment from their seller page on MyCM to drop off their sale items at Madla bydelshus on Friday, 12 September between 08.30-17.00. Sellers are expected to place their items in the sale hall in the designated sections (i.e. sports gear, baby gear, toys, books, etc.), and clothing must be hung up on racks/placed in bins according to size. Sellers have 1.5 hours to complete these tasks. Sellers do not have to be present during the hours of the sale to sell their items.
​
PICKING UP UNSOLD ITEMS
​All sellers must pick up their unsold items at Madla Bydelshus on Sunday evening (14 September) between ​20.30-22.00.
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, or Sunday) 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 1 Ikea bag (9 kr) in which we'll pack your unsold items after the sale. Sellers will receive their earnings in their bank accounts on 24 September 2025.

DEADLINE TO CANCEL SELLER REGISTRATION
​Registered sellers who find that they cannot participate as planned need to cancel their registration before the deadline (Thursday, 4 September 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/invoice 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.  ​​
SHOP THE PRE-SALE!
Each seller and volunteer receives two tickets to the private pre-sale on Friday evening 12 September at Madla Bydelshus. Volunteers and sellers (together with their one guest) can shop at the following times:
  • 18.30-21.30    Volunteers who work two or more 3-hour shifts
  • 19.00-21.30    Volunteers who work one 3-hour shift
  • 20.00-21.30   Sellers  

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.
