CURLEW - NEW AND USED MARQUEES
The Best Place To Buy Or Sell New Or Used Marquees And Equipment.
One Off v Monthly Adverts
We have two different systems for charging for adverts depending on the nature of the goods sold.
Secondhand Adverts - Single Secondhand Marquees
Most of the adverts on the website are for single used marquees, these are listed for a single one off fee and are listed until sold. However, if your marquee does not sell (after a year), we do insist you reduce the price by 10%. When you do this (at any time), we re-list your advert back to the top of the website. With this method most if not all items sell.
For this type of advert it does depend on it being a single listing price. Then the advert can remain on the site until sold, so long as you keep reducing the price.
You don’t have to wait a year before reducing the price; you can do it at any time and we re-list your advert. Keep doing this until your equipment sells.
However, we don’t allow an advert that has been listed to be re-listed after a year at the same price because it’s obvious to us that you would not want to place the advert again if you had not sold any equipment from it at that price. We also restrict the number of times this type of advert can be "re-listed" back at the top of the site to two occasions.
Occasionally we allow “new” goods to be sold on the secondhand scheme. For this to happen we insist on all one off adverts complying with the following:-
- You must mark adverts as sold on a regular basis.
- Must not be "Made to Order" or "Bespoke".
- The description can’t include words like “more available”.
- Can’t have options like colour or finish or different sizes.
- You list each individual item (you don't just list one item and sell many)

Monthly Adverts
These adverts are for “new” equipment or have an ongoing supply from stock or can be made to order.
These adverts are relisted each month (a real benefit for popular types of advert, where a category has many pages). Rather than being on page 2 or 3 after a month or so, your advert will be on the first page all year. The cost of this type of advertising depends on how many of this type of adverts you have on our website.
