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. Use respectful phrases such as, “Is there any flexibility on the price?” or “Is this the best price available?” If appropriate, make a reasonable offer or explain added value, like purchasing multiple items or paying upfront. 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.
