Information About

Jumble Sale




Managers will usually ask local people to donate goods, which are set out on Tables in the same manner as Car Boot Sale s, and sold to members of the general public, who have paid a fee to enter the sale. Typically in the UK the entry fee is somewhere between 50p And ₤1.50 . (Rummage sales in the United States generally do not charge an entrance fee, but may place a small jar near the Cash Register to collect additional donations.)

One of the largest Jumble Sales in the UK is run annually by 1st Northwood Scout group in mid- May , attracting around 1,000 members of the general public.

Jumble Sales are becoming less prevalent in the UK, as Car Boot Sale s and the World Wide Web enable people to sell their unwanted goods rather than donate them to charity.

In Australia and the United States, the phrase 'white elephant sale' is sometimes used as a synonym of jumble sale.
