I might just have to do one and go with the flow!

Go to a few to get a good idea of what sort of prices are expected at each.

When DS was little we used to do 3 a week :eek: all different sites
The Wednesday night and Saturday ones were good if it was dry but on the Sunday it used to depend when I got up which one of 2 we done. Newtownards one was good but a bit of a trek and had to be up very early to get a good spot. The nearer one was at Windsor Park but people there wanted things for pennies.
The good one now (well I haven't been there for about a year so not sure if it still is) on a Sunday is Crumlin Road. Very busy so lots of selling potential.

The best thing to do is experience them and ask the stall holders their opinion, a lot of them will be honest but many won't. They'll also ask what you'll be selling to see if you'll be competition for them. I usually tell them I don't know because I've still to get into the attic/spareroom/shed to see what's there.

In my experience prices depend on size and condition. If new/sealed I try to get about a third of the retail price.

books go for 50p and up
board/boxed games £1 and up
little figures 50p and up
cars etc 50p and up

I also try to take a mixture of things so it's not just toys and brings more people over, the wider the range the more potential buyers most of whom go home with things they didn't want.
In my case due to a cute blonde kid with blue eyes and glasses sitting with his own stuff to sell and telling the older people that their little boy would love to get this car/book/game that he's showing you AND it'll only cost you 10p. :rotfl:

OOOHHHH it is a glitch here look:
http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=253559504 Is anyone in T's now?

It looks like the cherries should be £14.99 a kilo, then half price but are 7p a kilo, have I got that right?

just catching up so apologies if I'm repeating someone...but its showing as 7p quantity wise on my Ts.com....ie 7p per cherry!

Is that correct mushy pea curry ????????????

Yep:rotfl:. The sauce is made with 2 tins mushy peas, 1 tin baked beans and 1 tin tomatoes, curry spices (I used curry powder, coriander, cumin, garlic powder and chilli powder) and blitz till smooth. Then stir fry veg and meat, stock cube and add the sauce, simmer for 20 mins and voila. Sounds disgusting but tastes like chinese/chippy curry. Makes a ton of sauce but I freeze it in portions for later

Hmmm, I just clicked on the OP's link and filled in my details. Am I missing something?

Hi FK - sorry, just catching up. I think you may need to go via the route mentioned in the OP - must be logged on to the T groceries site and reach it through the Favourites section as that is where the promotion banner is. Don't know if you would still be entered if you just go straight to the bit where you fill in details - Ts and Cs say

"Entry is by registering or being an existing customer of tesco.com/groceries and clicking on the banner in Favourites and entering your details as requested ....
Entries can only be made on the tesco.com grocery site through a computer. Mobile website and applications will not carry the free prize draw entry banner.....
In order to be eligible to enter, the nominee must hold a valid UK Clubcard at the time of entering, have shopped in a tesco store 6 weeks prior to the date of entry, or online at tesco.com/groceries in the last 13 months prior to the date of entry, to be able to see their 'Favourites'"
