So you would like to sell your pre-loved nerdy items? Awesome news, we can help with that!
We are running a second hand stall at Sandbox and offer to sell your items for a 10% commission fee which will go into supporting Sandbox in the future.
How it works:
- Gather your pre-loved nerdy things that you want to sell (for example: comics, fantasy & sci fi books, DVDs, console/ computer games, fandom regalia, shirts, miniatures, board/card games, fandom toys, Lego, LARP items)
- Make sure that they are clean and complete (if they are incomplete, please state missing items and stick it on the item with a note)
- If you want to sell a series or things in parts, please make sure to box/ bag them up in a way that makes them easy to re-sell as one item
- Put a sticker on every item that you want to sell (If you want to sell a series as one item, use one sticker for the whole set).
- The sticker should include: your name or short handle, your phone number, asking price (this will include the 10% commission)
- Email us at [email protected] to register as a seller.
- Print off and fill out this itemised form, sign the terms and conditions (10% commission, risk of theft) and bring a copy with you on drop off. Filled out example here.
- Drop the items off at Forum North on the day before the convention, Friday 26th July, between 9am and 5pm.
- We will aim to sell them for you. Sales are cash only.
- Pick up the items/ the money at the end of the convention day, Saturday 27th July, by 5pm (1h after convention closing). Everything that’s not picked up at the end of convention day will be donated to charity.
If you have any questions, please get in touch beforehand!
Tips on Pricing
We are happy to offer some advice on pricing (just send an email to [email protected]) as well if you don’t know what a reasonable price range could be. We would like you to be happy and get sales, and at a reasonable price all round.
One rule of thumb we’ve found useful is: don’t convert any overseas prices you might have seen into NZD, but to swap that price straight over. ie: if something is worth $15 USD then selling it at $15 NZD – this will often get a sale, rather than trying to sell it for the exchange rate of $25 NZD.
