FAQ
Can I test the gear I want to buy?
In a limited capacity, yes! There will be a designated table to test plug-in items. We may not have every single battery you need. Items for sale are tested unless otherwise documented.
Can I pay with card?
Yes! We will have our Helcim terminal set up and we can record card and cash transactions. Maybe even email you a receipt if you want to be fancy about it.
Why does this cost x?
Prices will range from $1.00 to $500.00, based on research, wear and tear, item quality, ebay ‘sold items’ delineations, etc. It’s more important that items end up in the community, so some items are open to offers.
Where can I park?
There are no parking spots at DARC – There is street parking available on Nicholas St directly outside at a cost of $7/hour from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM, and free after 5:30 PM and on weekends. There is also 1-hour free parking on Stewart St east of Waller St (less than 5 minute walk) until 6:00 PM, with no restrictions after 6:00 PM. Paid parking is also available at the Novotel parkade ($12 for overnight parking 6PM-6AM. Enter at 3 Daly Avenue) and the Rideau Centre parkade ($3/hour or $20 for 12 hours. Enter at 80 Nicholas Street or 5 Daly Avenue).
Can I buy my stuff and pick it up later?
We would rather treat this as ‘cash and carry’ to prevent confusion and make it easier for staff to wrap up at the end of the event. Please come prepared to buy with cash or card and the means to take your treasures home.
Why isn’t there anything cool this year?
Cool is in the eye of the beholder! The items for sale are either donations or decommissioned items from our rental rotation. Last year was our first ‘post’ pandemic garage sale and there were still things left over from our SAW Video days. We hope to build the momentum for more in the coming years.
Make sure to mark your calendars for July 12th and come on by the SAW Courtyard at 67 Nicholas St. to check out what we’ve got. Don’t miss this opportunity to snag some great bargains and take your art to the next level!
