Notes for sellers<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”notes-box”]<\/p>\n

PLEASE READ BEFORE ATTENDING<\/h5>\n

For sellers travelling a long way<\/strong><\/p>\n

During warm weather and school holidays the car boot field quickly becomes full<\/strong>\u00a0 \u2013 \u00a0we sometimes have to turn sellers away…..<\/p>\n

Mondays<\/strong> \u2013 We rarely turn anyone away
\nWednesdays<\/strong> \u2013 Can be very busy if the weather is nice
\nFridays<\/strong> \u2013 Our busiest day (we cannot guarantee sellers a space)<\/p>\n

Number of sellers may also be affected by:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Weather on the day<\/li>\n
  • Weather forecast for the following few days<\/li>\n
  • Previous weather conditions<\/li>\n
  • School holidays<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    We are a small car boot with a limited capacity of 165 vehicles (depending on number of large vans and trailers). We cannot accommodate over our seller capacity as some spaces are reserved for Fun Farm customers and buyers.<\/p>\n

    We manage this capacity by parking early arrivals in a queue, counting cars and informing late arrivals at the back of the queue that they may not get a pitch.<\/p>\n

    So… if you are travelling a long way to bring items to sell:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • 1. Perhaps try a Monday when you can be relatively sure you will get a pitch or a cloudy Wednesday, sellers will often sell more and make more money on quieter days!<\/li>\n
    • 2. Arrive early \u2013 some sellers arrive at 8am and have breakfast at Jak\u2019s Diner whilst waiting for the field to open at 11am.<\/li>\n
    • 3. Be prepared to be turned away \u2013 we are sorry if this happens but we are limited for space and numbers.<\/li>\n
    • 4. Follow Fun Farm Spalding on Facebook and Twitter to see live updates on the day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Seller vs Trader Definitions<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Trader and sellers \u2013 what is the difference?<\/p>\n

      Trader\u00a0 – a person(s) who sells mainly new or packaged goods, or sells multiples of the same item,\u00a0 which could normally be sold at a council run market.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Sellers \u2013 a person(s) who sells second hand goods or previously used items.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Note:\u00a0 A seller will be considered to be acting in the course of a business if they are regular sellers of a single product or regularly sell products in quantities which it is deemed unreasonable that a private individual would sell. If the seller is acting in the course of a business they must comply with all relevant consumer laws.<\/p>\n

      Traders are not allowed to sell at this car boot.\u00a0Management reserves the right to refuse admission.<\/strong><\/p>\n
