 Re: Selling novelty items in a booth
Good on you for having a go ... enthusiasm will take you a long way.
As everyone else has advised, a major shopping centre is going to be too $$ (as a guide $3000-$4000 + for a temp site plus all the setup costs, insurance etc) .. and they are not likely to accept your booking given you have no legal entity.
Don't think the consignment option is going to work either, as it sounds like you are buying wholesale .. so a retailer is not going to purchase from you if they can also buy from the same source.
I would go down the local market option too .. there are lots of local markets, usually held each month ..usually in a carpark or school ground. Far more cost effective. This would be the easiest way to get out there and give your product a try.
It may still be worth getting your parents to check the legal aspects ... especially public liability (the last thing you want is to have someone purchase the product and have a problem with it ... and you not be protected).
Good luck .. keep us all posted.
