For sellers

The Member to Member (M2M) sale will take place during the National Garden Railway Show on 12 April 2025. Please read the following guidelines and rules before submitting your items for sale. If you have any additional questions, please contact Rebecca Lockley.

  1. Only current members are permitted to sell items at the M2M stand.
  2. You may sell up to 10 items or sets. Books, videos, & DVDs of narrow gauge interest may be sold, but magazines & periodicals will not be accepted for sale.
  3. All items must be PRE BOOKED either online (preferred) at www.16mm.org.uk/enter-m2m/ or using the downloadable form below. We will be unable to take additional items for sale on the day. Forms must be received no later than 5th April, either by post or e-mail. Please send your completed forms to the address on the form or via email.
  4. Please list each item separately on the form (unless you are selling as a set) and label each item using a tie-on label with your membership number followed by its number and the price. Example, if you are member abcd, you would label your items abcd-1, abcd-2, etc. If you are selling a set or your lot has multiple items (ex: loco plus controller), please ensure each item is labelled as abcd-1 (1 of x), abcd-1 (2 of x), etc. Please ensure you arrive with labels already attached. Please DO NOT use sticker labels as we are unable to remove stickers and that will affect payout.
  5. There will be a minimum price of £5. Please keep your pricing to whole pounds (i.e. £5, £20, £400, etc.). We cannot pay out a fraction of a pence.
  6. Please ensure all item prices are listed correctly and the price on the tag matches the price on the form. If there is a price discrepancy, the price listed on your form will be used. We are unable to change prices on the day.

  8. Booking-In will begin when the outside doors open to the public. If you are a volunteer or trader, you may book your items in earlier or on Friday afternoon.
  9. If you are selling items on behalf of a deceased member’s estate, please contact Rebecca before filling in any forms.
  10. Sale proceeds can be collected between 1530 and 1600, along with any unsold items. Uncollected items become the property of the Association.
  11. Every effort will be taken to safeguard your property whilst it is on display, however items are left at your own risk.
  12. The booking-in clerks and/or the M2M coordinator have the right to refuse items for sale.
