MarketPlace
Q: Where do your dealers come from?
A: The dealers that join us come from a wide range of
interest and backgrounds. Many of them have always
wanted to own their own shop and now they have the time.
Others just enjoy yard sale shopping and auctions but
have never had an outlet for their hobby.
Q: I’d love to have my own shop. How do I get
started?
A: Rentals at the MarketPlace vary according to the
needs of the dealers. Dealers that prefer to sell their
own merchandise and set their own hours have the choices
of renting a complete building or a smaller space that
is connected by a porch. These spaces are not heated nor
air conditioned but are priced according. Other spaces
in our main building consist of two floors that are
divided up into smaller spaces where customers can check
out at designated sales stations. We take your sales,
send in your taxes and issue checks once a month with an
itemized list of your sales.
All contracts are month to month. There are no
commission charges. And deposits are only required on
outside spaces.
Q: Are prices set or are can we still negotiate?
A: Absolutely negotiate.

Q: Where do you get your inventory to sell?
A: Homeowners who are redecorating, cleaning out,

inventory will bring in their items. Others, just need
help to empty out the contents of their home or
business.
Q: How do I consign my items for auction?
A: We accept any quality items that are clean and in
good working condition, such as furniture, antiques,
glassware, house wares, collectibles, tools, sporting
goods, hunting equipment, lawn and garden, etc.

Q: How can I bid?
A: In order to register we need to see your driver’s
license and a telephone number. At that point you will
receive a number to use for that particular auction. As
the auctioneer starts his chant, you raise your number
at the price you are willing to pay. A 10% “Buyers
Premium” and sales tax is added to your invoice when you
check out. You can enter the auction at anytime and
leave at any time. You pay nothing if you buy nothing.
Q: If I can’t attend the auction, can I leave a bid?
A: Yes, you can email us with your bid, phone in a bid,
or stop in and leave a bid before the auction starts. If
you have previously registered with us, we would only
need your name and a phone number. Tell us what item you
want and how high you would be willing to go. Don’t
forget the “Buyers Premium” and the sales tax will be
added if you win the bid. You would be notified the next
morning if you win the bid. Use our contact form
to submit bid or callus
Q: What is a “Buyers Premium?”
A: This is a flat fee of 10% added to the final price of
an item
