Marketplace on Main
Terms & Conditions
Thank you for your interest in becoming a vendor at Marketplace on Main!
Our inventory changes on a daily basis, so our needs change for the type of merchandise needed.
If you booth or your category of items meets our needs, we will contact you. If you are not seleted, we will keep your application on file for 6 months should our needs change. Your application must include photos of either a current space or of items you would be selling. Going forward all applicants on our past waiting list will be held for 6 months. If you have not been notified within that timeframe you can reapply.
We predominately sell antiques and vintage items - but we also sell some modern furniture and home decor. We discourage vendors from selling Modern Clothing, or items you would typically sell at a yard sale.
For help in determining what “we” call vintage or antique, just ask!
Having a booth at The Marketplace is equivalent to having your own storefront. We recommend that as a new vendor you give your booth at least 4-6 months to perform. Within this timeframe, you will know if you like doing this, and if your items are going to sell. We recommend that vendors “work” their booth weekly.
We are open 7 days a week.
We collect and pay all sales taxes. We also pay all CC Processing fees. You do not need a business license or permit to have a booth at The Marketplace on Main.
RENT: Rent and Payouts are two separate transactions that hit the first week of each month at the exact same time. We do not take your rent out of your sales for sales tax purposes and reporting.
LEASE: Your lease is on a three month basis, and then goes month to month. We collect a one time $100 application fee and 10% commission of sales. Marketplace requires a 30 day notice if you choose to vacate the booth. Notice must be received no later than the last preceding month and must be emailed to 118marketplace@gmail.com. For example, if vacating on June 30th, then notice must be received no later than May 31st. If proper notice is not received, you will be assessed rent for the following month.
LIABILITY: Marketplace is not responsible for damage caused by fire, water damage, flooding, accidental breakage or acts of God. Marketplace is not responsible for personal injury while you are working in your booth or when transporting merchandise in and out of the building. Marketplace is not responsible for loss or theft of merchandise. You may take out a personal insurance policy on your booth if you would like.
HOUSEKEEPING: Successful dealers work their booth weekly. Dealers must maintain a safe and clean environment in their booth space. Dealers who continually keep a booth that’s deemed unsafe may be charged a fee for staff to clean and organize their space.
All items must be housed within the yellow lines or booths to meet fire code and flowing traffic.
CARTS: Marketplace supply carts and hand trucks are available for your convenience. They must be returned promptly for others to use. Shopping carts are for customer use only- not for transporting items to and from booths.
STAFF ASSISTANCE: Our staff’s priority is customer service. If available, we will help you move large pieces of furniture.
TOOLS: Dealers are responsible for all tools.
QUALITY OF MERCHANDISE: All booths must be 50% antique or vintage items, no exceptions. We are currently not allowing more than 10% clothing, jewelry, accessories, soaps, body products, or candles. Marketplace has the rights to accept or deny items, items such as modern toys, modern games, modern electrical items, appliances, and modern tools.
LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL: Only power strips may be used. No cords or drop cords allowed. These can be purchased at your local home improvement store or on Amazon. LED Bulbs required.
VENDOR ID: Once you have been assigned a vendor number it cannot be changed in our system.
NOTICE OF EVICTION: Marketplace reserves the right to terminate a vendor partnership without notice. We do not allow
solicitation on Marketplace premises.
