If you've ever organised one of these events, you'll recognise the problems. We built ourclubsale.com to fix them.
Bring-and-buy sales are a great part of club life. The admin that surrounds them is not.
Handwritten lists, emailed spreadsheets, and items that turn up on the day with no paperwork. Working out what a vendor actually submitted versus what appeared on the table is a manual headache before the event has even started.
When someone buys an item, can you quickly tell which vendor it belongs to? Without a proper system, every transaction is a best-guess. Handwritten receipts pile up. Queues form. Labels fall off. And at the end of the day, nobody's quite sure what happened.
Someone — usually the treasurer — has to sit down after the event and work out what each vendor sold, what commission the club keeps, and what every person is owed. In a spreadsheet. By hand. It takes hours, and errors creep in.
A vendor drops off ten items and goes home. They have no idea what sold, what came back unsold, or what they're owed — until the club finds the time to tell them, days or weeks later. That's not a great experience for people who keep coming back.
From the moment a vendor registers their interest, through item submission and barcode label generation, sale-day point of sale, right through to automatic post-event reconciliation — everything is tracked, everything is accounted for, and the manual work drops dramatically.
We're not a general-purpose tool that's been adapted for this purpose. We were designed specifically for clubs that run these events, by people who have run them themselves.
Model railway clubs, antique societies, hobby groups, collectors' associations — any club that runs a second-hand sale or bring-and-buy event where vendors pay commission on their sales.
