What can I sell?
Good quality women’s preloved fashion in washed, ironed, undamaged condition including; clothing, shoes, bags, jewellery and accessories. Items you would pass onto your best friends. We pride ourselves on selling quality fashion, so as a general guideline the majority of your items should have an original Recommended Retail Price of over $50. It is fine to include a few cheaper brand items. Underwear and swimwear with tags still attached or in original packaging and near new sportswear is also acceptable to sell.
What can’t I sell?
men’s wear
children’s wear
fake ‘inauthentic’ goods like bags, sunglasses etc – better to sell with original receipts if unsure
new garments in multiple colours and sizes, mass produced products
cosmetics, make-up, hair products or electrical goods
new fur (vintage, pre-1980s fur is accepted)
used underwear or swimwear
home wares – candles, cushion covers
Can I sell winter and summer fashion at all events?
Yes, of course! You are most welcome to sell all seasons at each event as if they are popular high street/high end brands they will sell. We have found though that shoppers typically purchase the fashion items of the the current or coming season at each event.
How much is a stall and what does it include?
Stall Hire Packages start from $100 (Newcastle) and include: indoor selling space 2.8m x 2.8m, 1 x trestle table, 1 x chair, space for 2 clothing racks (you need to bring your own racks), public liability insurance, GST, excellent indoor venue (including change room facilities and refreshments) and advertising. Hire fees are paid via Bank Transfer or Stripe credit card. You’ll be issued an invoice once accepted with details of how to pay.
Where can I get clothes racks from?
There are a few options. Try to see if any of your friends have some, sometimes 2nd hand stores in Hamilton North carry them. If you know someone in clothing retail you maybe able to borrow some. Know anyone handy? they maybe able to make you some. Place a wanted ad on Facebook Marketplace. Search gum tree. Failing all that you may have to buy some from K-mart, Bunnings etc.
I’ve booked a stall to raise money for my charity, how can I promote it?
A stall at Raid My Wardrobe is a fantastic way to fundraise money for special ventures or to donate to charity. It is fine for you to have a sign and flyers to let those customers who shop from your stall know what you are raising money for and the charity you are supporting. We are also happy to cross promote it through our social media sites. It is not ok to sell raffle tickets or fundraising items like chocolates from your stall or to have a collection tin at your stall.
What time do I start setting up from?
7.30am. Doors will close 8.30am sharp! Don’t risk forfeiting your stall fee.
I’m in business, how can I join the events or connect with RMW?
A We have a number of opportunities in how we can partner with other businesses depending upon the nature of your product or service. All stalls at each event are reserved for women selling quality preloved goods only but we have opportunities for lucky door prizes, sponsorship, flyer distribution, newsletter advertising, blog and Facebook promotion etc. Please email info@raidmywardrobe.com.au to request a media kit or further information.
I have over 300 items to sell is that too much?
Yes that’s too much. Generally around 150 clothing items plus shoes, bags, accessories typically fills a stall space possibly 200 (putting some things under the table and bringing them out as you sell them). Anything over 200 your stall space starts to look too squishy and off putting. Shoppers shoppers will by-pass your stall if it is too over packed and hard to access with racks of overloaded clothes that they can’t look through. Our shoppers enjoy shopping at stalls that look stylish, spacious and with racks not overflowing or difficult to access.
Why do I need to submit photos of my items?
Your photos tell a story about you – your style, the quality of your items, how you display things, the brands and unique items you wish to sell. Take good quality photos that represent your wardrobe items. Create stylish outfits with your clothes either as flat lays or on a mannequin. Photos that are uncluttered, in focus and clear – not photos of your racks or piles of clothes – good quality photos! If successful we’ll also use your photos to promo your stall in our advertising leading up to the event.
Why do I need to list and number all the brands that I’ll be selling?
We pride ourselves and are known for high quality, professional events with high quality branded fashion items. We want to ensure that the majority of the items you wish to sell are high quality brands that our shoppers will love. We understand that a handful of your clothing items maybe from cheap fashion labels like Anko (Kmart), Big W etc. and we are all about re-loving resources already in circulation, however the majority of your items for resale should be of high quality brands only.
