Excess Baggage Secondhand Market

Excess Baggage Secondhand Market is an initiative of the BrisWest Centre, Paddington begun in 2014. The market is held intermittently throughout the year on a Saturday, between 9am and 3pm at BrisWest Centre, 132 Latrobe Terrace Paddington.

For sellers, it is an opportunity to clean out your cupboards and recycle your much loved goods.

For buyers, there's no need to book, just turn up and snag a bargain.

The market offers both indoor and outdoor spaces and it's always a wonderful day for both sellers and buyers. We have live music, a cafe, sausage sizzle and an amazing raffle. There are great bargains to find, including clothing, jewellery, shoes, DVDs, books and homewares.

Market Guidelines & FAQs for Sellers:

Table bookings

To sell your second hand items at Excess Baggage Secondhand Market, please book and pay for your table via The BrisWest Centre’s Humanitix site. For pricing see below.

Setting Up

The BrisWest Centre will be available for set-up from 7:00am on the morning of the market. We aim to achieve a space in which you can show off your secondhand goods and we provide each stallholder with a table and a chair. Each stallholder is also able to bring their own rack. One rack per paid ticket.

Packing Down

Please do not start packing up until the specified closing time of 3:00pm. Packing up early sends a message to shoppers that we're closing and can impact on other stallholders' patronage.

Tables & Chairs

You don't need to bring a table or chairs. We provide the table – we also provide a chair and space next to your table for your BYO rack.

Hanging Racks

You are able to bring ONE (1) clothing rack to place next to your table. In order to ensure there is enough space for people to look through your rack, and that your rack is not encroaching into the general walkway, we ask that you bring a hanging rack that is no longer than 1.2 metres. Please do not bring two clothing racks unless you've bought two tables. You may bring a hatstand in place of a hanging rack if you wish. If you do not want a table then you can have two racks.

Unfortunately, we don't hire racks. You’ll need to bring your own rack.

Gazebos / Shelter

The BrisWest Centre has five shaded tables available outside, so you don’t need to bring shade, if you have booked one of these tables.

There are another two tables outside without shade. You may choose to bring your own shade/gazebo if you book these tables.

Smoking

In accordance with Queensland legislation and workplace Health & Safety, smoking is not permitted inside the BrisWest Centre or within 5 metres of the building entrance.

Vehicle Access & Parking

You may use the parking area in the front of the centre to unload stock on the morning of the market until 8:30am. Please note there won't be much in the way of parking on the actual morning because our outside stalls will be already set-up by then. Please understand that there will be other stallholders wishing to use the space so unloading stock as timely as possible would be appreciated.

After you have unloaded your things, your best bet for parking longer than two hours around Paddington is the side streets off Latrobe Terrace, or at Paddington Central, 4 mins walk away (charges may apply).

Waste Management

All boxes and rubbish must be taken home. Keep your site clean. Clear up at end of trading - no rubbish must be left on site.

Commissions
