Is it worth getting a stall at Botany Bay, Chorley?

I'm looking to setup a little stall selling bits and bats - toys, gothy stuff, that sort of thing. I'm in the North West, and I'm considering getting a stall at Botany Bay. The advantages of Botany Bay are that it doesn't require me to be there and all transactions are dealt with by the on-site staff, so I can leave the stall and just let it run itself. And it costs £22 a week which doesn't seem so bad. The disadvantages are that there's a six month lease, 15% commission is taken off your purchase. The six month lease is what really puts me off. I don't have the time myself to do a car boot given that I work odd hours. But this option seemed appealing till I found out about the minimum lease. Has anyone here had a stall at Botany Bay and can report on their success or lack thereof? I know there are various indoor antique centres around but most of the stuff I'm planning on selling won't be older than a few years.
