Vintage Dealer Application

Thanks for your interest! We are a full house, but when space opens up we sift through these applications and pick our newbie from the pile. So fill out the form and get your name in the queue if you are still interested after reading the details below.

The Space: Vault Booths are approximately 12x6 and fit about 4 garment racks plus a small display table or rack. We tell new dealers to prepare 300-400 pieces. All dealers are responsible for their own signage, hangers, tags, fixtures and displays. Dealers outfit their booths to their own brand's standards, and the more cohesive your booth's aesthetic is, the better your items will sell. Treat your booth's decor as if it were your own storefront!

Your Inventory: We are a Vintage shop exclusively, and don't accept sellers of contemporary secondhand clothing, or even the coolest of handmade goods. We're looking for sellers of highly curated, authentic vintage clothing who will fill a niche of their own amongst the rest of our collective.  When it is busy, our Dealers regularly sell 150-300 or more pieces of Vintage clothing per month, so you will need to be prepared to keep up with that volume of buying for your booth as your items sell. 

If you are an online superseller, we're built for you. Our cloud-based POS system notifies you via email when an item sells so you can immediately remove it from any cross-posted listings online on etsy or poshmark. You also can log-in from anywhere, on any device, to keep an eye on your earnings or add new items to your booth's inventory.

Fees/Contract: Heads up. You don't pay us, we pay you! The Vault just keeps a portion of its sales revenue to cover its expenses, like a consignment store. We pay dealers out monthly for their sold items, less two deductions: a monthly flat fee of $650 as well as a percentage fee of 28%.  Rest assured, no one has ever come remotely close to not selling enough to cover these fees without serious extenuating circumstances.

This means the only money you will likely ever pay us is the deposit to secure the booth before you move in, which serves as your first month's flat fee. We discount this to half-off to make it easier to move in, so only $325 is due upon the signing of your contract.Contracts are a month to month agreement simply requiring 30 days notice (by the 1st of the month) to move out. 

Work Requirement: Each dealer is also required to work a sales shift at the store every-other week.  This is your valuable time to update your booth, stock new inventory, see who your customers are and how they are interacting with your items, and learn from what you see happening in the other dealer's booths too! Dealers agree to a regular repeating shift, so you know your workdays many months in advance, which makes it easy to trade days with another dealer when something comes up.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!
