PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION BELOW!!!
~As in previous years, please, do not bring small children. However, if you must, please make sure they stay with you at all times.
~Only academic related items may be sold ( e.g. curriculum, education games, reading materials, and all other education materials).
~Sellers must pre-register: to pre-register, simply sign-up on the website. There may or may not be tables available for walk-in sellers the day of the sale.
~Sellers will remain at their table throughout the sale. Shoppers will be able to ask questions of the seller about the items and negotiate price. Transactions will be directly between sellers and buyers, giving sellers the security of knowing that items will be paid for, and allowing them to sell more items by providing shoppers with their "reviews" of the curriculum, as well as having the freedom to drop their price if that would help make the sale.
~There will be a "FREE" table available for items you want to give away. Please be considerate and take these items home when the sale is over, or they will be thrown away.
~Money will be collected by each individual seller, and sellers may determine individually whether or not they want to accept checks, so shoppers should come prepared with plenty of cash. Nothing will leave a table without having been paid for.
~Since they will be required to stay at their tables during the sale, Sellers will be allowed to pre-shop before the sale opens to the general public. Sellers will set up at 8:00 am and will be allowed to pre-shop. Each table will be issued two nametags in advance (see ‘helpers’ below), and only those people will be let in the room before 9:00am, when doors open to public.
~Tables will be free for CHEC members. Non-members are welcome to reserve a table for $5.00. You may pay for your table when you arrive.
~Sellers may bring one "helper" student over the age of 10 years to assist at their table.
~Sellers may also share a table with a friend.
~Sellers may mark prices on their materials however they wish: garage-sale stickers with prices, boxes (i.e. 4/$1.00; $2.00 each). Tips for pricing your books: typically a book that is in excellent condition with no markings can be priced at 2/3 the new price. Most books are in good condition and are normally priced at 1/3 to 1/2 the new price.
~Sellers should be sure to bring an assortment of small bills and coins for making change. Murphy's Law says the first shopper to your table will want to pay for a $0.75 item with a $20.00 bill.
~Shoppers can attend for FREE, regardless of which support group they have membership with.
