There appears to be some confusion with a very small group of vendors as to the correct setup procedure – I’m here to help clarify the process.
-
When you arrive at the Market, you check-in at the front desk and buy your daily sales envelope. At that time, you will also receive a day parking permit. You will not receive your envelope, nor your parking permit, until your daily booth fee is paid.
-
You select your booth during roll call, and head off to prepare for the market day.
-
At the end of the day, you return your completed sales envelope to the front desk and drop into the box. We accept cash or checks; payment of sales commission using a credit card is discouraged, and will incur an additional surcharge of $5.
You will not receive your Priority Points unless your sales envelope is dropped on-time. A $250 reinstatement fee is assessed to vendors who fail to drop and do not contact us to arrange settlement in a timely manner.
By and large, the majority of our fine community has been following this simple process without trouble for years – thank you! But a select few have started to “game the system” to the extent of not paying their setup fees. So here’s the deal: if you are struggling and simply can’t afford the setup fee that day, come chat with us and we will work something out (pre-market setup and post-market cleanup always goes faster with some extra hands).
But otherwise, not paying your fees is theft against the Market - violators will be promptly removed from our approved roster.
