Q11: What if I just have a bike or two to sell?
A: The bike corral just might be for you. You can sell your bike at the Bike Corral whether you rent a table or not. You do not need to register ahead of time. The cost to put a bike in the Corral is your entry fee ($5) plus $5 per bike.
Q12: What exactly is the Bike Corral?
A: It’s a roped off space in the swap for bikes that people want to sell. The area will be monitored and only the owner of a bike may remove the bike from the area. This allows people to sell bike with out renting a table. The Bike Corral registration form will indicate when you will be next to your bike, so potential buyers can talk to you. It is important to note that we don’t actually sell your bike. The bike corral just provides a place to display your bike.
Q13. Can I sell bikes from my table I rent or do they have to be in the bike corral?
A: You can absolutely sell bike from your table. The bike corral is an alternative to renting a table for people that only have a bike to sell.
