Frequently Asked Questions
How many Marchè are held each year?
One Marchè is held during each season — so four a year.
Is it okay to haggle at a brocante?
Yes, don't be afraid to haggle over pricing! Many vendors are trying to liquidate their items so will accept a reasonable lower offer, but probably on the third or fourth attempt at a bargain — very rarely on the first, so you must be persistent.
How do you politely ask for a lower price?
To politely ask for a lower price, start by being friendly and showing genuine interest in the product. Vendors may be open to reducing their price, to keep their stock moving, as long as the offer is not unreasonable. You are invited to engage in the bargaining banter. Always remain courteous and be prepared to accept the answer, aiming for a fair, win-win outcome rather than simply asking for a discount.
Do dealers accept cash or card?
Most of our dealers accept both cash and card, but cash is king when bargaining prices.
How many dealers are there?
Typically, there are approximately 14-16 dealers. All of which are heavily experienced and sell genuine items.
Where exactly is the Brocante Marchè held?
It is held at the front and back gardens of 69 Mollison St, Malmsbury, 3446.
