Sat from 11:30 am - Noon pick up unsold bikes/items and/or 80% of seller's price of item sold.

Take your bike (or other items) to the Mlacak Centre (see times and location above).

When you arrive, there will be signs  showing where to go.

PLEASE NOTE:  While we can take many bike related items;  WE WILL NOT accept bike helmets.

If there is a line up, please join it.  You will have an opportunity to wipe down your bike, inflate the tires, remove security-chains / locks which will help increase the chances of selling.

Once you enter the rink area, you will be greeted by someone who will help you set a price for your bike.  They know typical prices for a bike, what people are willing to pay at the event and have information about sales at previous events. Your bike may be worth more or less than you think or would like.  They are only suggesting a price, you decide that.

Take your bike to one of the registration tables.  The person there will:

Your bike will be taken in to a rack.

If you are bringing a bike to donate, you can by-pass the line; just ask one of the Bike Exchange & Sale volunteers to take it from you. We may sell it this year or next depending on its condition.

Sellers will not be allowed into the main selling area.

IF YOUR BIKE DOESN'T SELL

If you told us you would donate it, we will load it in our truck and return it to our workshop. Thank you :-)

Very Important

If you want it back, you should collect it before Noon (12 pm) - we'll tell you it hasn't sold when you come to collect your payment.   NOTE - we have to exit the building by midday and any bikes/items not collected by then will be deemed to have been donated.  We will load these bike onto our truck last - but once we are gone, then so is your bike.

If you have any questions, please e-mail us at Bikes@1stKanataScouts.org

COLLECTING PAYMENT - YOUR BIKE SELLS

If your bike has sold (and most do) then you should arrive back at the rink between 11:30 am - Noon on the Saturday morning to collect payment.

If you are not able to collect payment - please let us know by e-mail at Bikes@1stKanataScouts.org and we will try to get the money to you another way.
