NCT Brentwood Nearly New Sale

Brentwood NCT's Nearly New Sales are very popular both to the sellers and buyers. Come along and find lots of bargains. You do NOT need to be a NCT member to buy, sell or volunteer. Everyone is welcome.

The sale will take place Sunday 10th May 2026, 10:00am-12:00am - NCT members entry from 10:00am, non members entry from 10:30am, at Brentwood School Sports Centre, Middleton Hall Lane, Brentwood CM15 8EE.

You do not need to be at the sale to sell items. You can drop your labelled items off the night before and leave the rest to us, collecting your unsold items after the sale. Our sales are run entirely by volunteers with all profits going to the NCT charity. If you are able to help at the sale, this would be much appreciated.

Sellers:

You do not need to be at the sale to sell items. You can drop your labelled items off the night before and leave the rest to us, collecting your unsold items after the sale.

Sellers pay 25% commission on all sales, but only 20% if you volunteer for the all day slots. Registration is £15, which includes a refundable deposit of £10 which will be returned after the sale, as long as you sign in with the Sellers Coordinator when dropping off your items for sale.

Once you have registered you will be emailed a Seller’s Pack. This will include instructions for drop-off, pick up and labelling as well as some sellers’ tips. along with your sellers pack – this means you will need to print your own labels. At this sale we are introducing labels with bar codes. This will speed up the process considerably. Labels will not need to be removed at the tills and you will be able to see exactly what has been sold shortly after the sale has finished. You will be sent detailed instructions on how to create these with your sellers pack. It’s much simpler than the speadsheet we have been using.

At this sale we are not limiting the number of non-clothing items you want to sell so you can sell as much as you want! There will still be a limit of 30 clothing items though. There will a limited number of extra label packs available to purchase. If you would like to purchase these, please email us at [email protected] to arrange this.

Only our specific labels with bar codes should be used. Unfortunately we cannot accept handwritten labels at this sale. The maximum number of items each seller can sell is limited to 30 clothing and shoes (please only sell seasonal clothes)Non-clothing labels are not limited.

You will receive your Seller’s Pack by end of March, unless you register after this time. All items for sale must be dropped at the hall on Saturday evening between 5.45pm and 6.45pm - no items can be accepted on Sunday morning.

Volunteers:

Our sales are run solely by volunteers. We’d love any time you can spare to help but there is no obligation to. It’s actually really good fun and some time away from your kids with a hot cuppa!

There are a number of different slots that you sign up for, to fit in with busy lives. Hopefully you can find one that works for you. Go to the tickers area to see the slots.

There will be experienced volunteers on hand to support you.

The help we need includes:

• Setting up the hall - cleaning and putting tables out, putting up signage, setting out the sellers’ items.
• During the sale (hall) - tidying items in the hall, delabelling and packing buyers purchases, working on the tills taking payment.
• After the sale - sorting the unsold items into seller numbers, clearing away tables, signage and other equipment

To register to help, please purchase a (FREE) ticket for the slot(s) you can do. You will then receive email confirmation of your registration for that slot. We will then email you closer to the sale - probably in April - with more details. If, for any reason, you are them unable to help, please do email us at [email protected] to let us know, as soon as you can.

If you have any restrictions that may impact on your role, or would really prefer to do or to avoid particular roles, please drop us an email at [email protected] once you’ve registered to let us know. We can then take this into account when allocating roles.

THANK YOU!
