•   We ask that items you sell are either Antique {at least 100 years old from today's date} Vintage {at least 40 years old or older}, Collectable, Nostalgic Related, Hobby, Craft & New Retro Items. Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms (unless black powder), Mattress's & Box Springs are not permitted. We are not licensed to sell those items.

•    Please let us know what you are planning to sell so we can determine if it is acceptable.   COIN VENDORS MUST HAVE PROOF OF INSURANCE COVERAGE ON THEIR COINS!

•   We ask that all booths are kept NEAT & CLEAN. We take pride in the appearance of our Vendor's Booths. Make sure you have room for customers to walk in and not trip over anything! 

•   Make sure ALL ITEMS ARE PROPERLY TAGGED with your VENDOR ID, DESCRIPTION, ITEM CODE (if you have one) and PRICE. If you're going to have ITEM CODES please let us know so we can add it to our register program.Items NOT TAGGED CANNOT BE SOLD.

•   ​​Tagging Items: If you use stickers, be aware they are hard to remove and may tear. You can always cut strips of paper and tape them to the item. Sticky Notes are OK but you may have to tape them since they tend to fall off over time. Stringed or Non-Stringed Paper Tags work best. 

•   If you are selling multiple loose items (i.e. 45s in a box) please have a tag available for the customer to pick up and bring up to the register with your vendor information and price.

•   You may paint your booth to your choosing, if you wish. You can only paint the wooden walls. Our lease prevents us from painting the brick walls.

•   ​Vendor Pay will be available for pick up on the 1st of each month.

•   ​Discounts: If you’re offering a discount on your items, please let us know so we can put it into the computer. This way it will automatically deduct the discount at checkout. Some vendors will offer a discount if the customer buys over a certain amount. This too, we need to know. That can also be added to the system to alert the cashier. Having discount signs in your booth helps sales. Some customers will ask to contact you for a discount, which we will attempt to do. If we can't reach you we'll advise the customer that we must sell as marked.
