market stall

Former Member

a friend has suggested that i have a stall for the xmas run up at camden selling my knitting...what do i need to have in mind in order to do this?

Former Member

Stuff will probably get nicked so put the nicer stuff at the back of stall (closer to you) but still clearly on show.

Former Member

not sure but i think you might have to apply to the council

I guess you could just go to the market and ask someone on one of the stalls.

:yes: You would probably need a licence form the coucil of some sorts. Check their website or ask one of the coucil offices. If you know/can get to know anyone who works there then you can have a good idea of how to run things.

You would also have to register as self employed and keep accounts.

Could you sell them on Ebay? It would save a lot of the hassle.

The thing about ebay is that you wouldn't get a good return on handknitted items. Ebay is not a great place to sell home made stuff - people refuse to pay what it is worth.

However, etsy could be a possibility :chin:

things go very cheaply on etsy because it's in dollars....
