Seller Application

Thank you for your interest in being part of the team at Honeybee Vintage!

Before you apply...

Please browse this website and our social media (@honeybeevintagealton) in order to be sure you understand our look and feel. We are selective as to the vintage dealers and artisans joining our shop, in order to be consistent with the brand and to continue to offer merchandise that our customers have come to expect.  We only accept dealers offering antiques, vintage clothing/jewelry, upcycled furniture, and select upscale resale home décor.  We are also interested in artists, photographers, and artisans of quality handmade items in keeping with the shop's aesthetic and of local interest.

Bear in mind that our customer base includes downtown locals, day-trippers from the area, and out-of-town tourists.  A mix of small, medium, and large items is desirable in the full-size spaces, but we also have shelving units available to rent.

We look for not only quality of merchandise but also your talent in displaying. Working behind the counter at the shop is not required, but it is expected that you will work your space every week or two to keep things tidy, well-stocked, and seasonally current.

We are looking for talented, energetic, and kind dealers who will be an asset to the shop and a great addition to the team. If that sounds like you (and we hope it does!), please read on...

Rent

Rent is determined based primarily on size of space being rented. The area rented may be as small as a shelf, or as large as a "booth" space.  (Although, we do not use pegboard or partitions, you will be given a designated space for your to design and maintain.)  Monthly rent is designed to offset overall lease of property, utilities, insurance, website, ongoing marketing, etc.  Rent is determined between dealer and shop owner based on each unique space, $40/mo up to $250/mo depending on size.  Rental fees have been thoroughly researched and are competitive for the local market.  Please indicate your interest in working behind the counter to offset your monthly rent on the application.  If your application is accepted, you will meet with the owner to select an available space, discuss the rent for that space, and finalize the Contract.  Note:  There is also a 15% commission fee on each sale. This fee offsets operating costs such as POS system, packaging, gift certificates, etc. 

Submitting the Application

The following application includes fillable fields. Please gather your information and pictures, fill out the fields, and submit below.  (You are unable to "save your work" so please allow time to complete fully and send.)

Our response will depend on the information provided, whether your merchandise is a "good fit", and current space availability.  Please don't be concerned if you don't receive an immediate response.  Once you submit the application, we will have it on file, and can reach out as needed.  Thanks again for your interest in being a part of the marketplace at Honeybee Vintage.
