How does being a Vendor work?We choose a diverse group of quality shops to join our store. Each shop owner (often called a Vendor) rents a portion of the store and makes it their own. The Vendor is given a vendor id number that they put on their tags along with the cost and a brief description of the item. When customers find an item they want to purchase, they take the item to the front register where our staff enters the vendor number, description and price into our Point of Sale system which gives that Vendor credit for that item. At the end of the month, Old Time Finds cuts a check to the Vendor for their total sales. Vendors do not need to be present at the store to make sales. Just setup your space, tag your merchandise, and let us do the rest. You can open a new business and sell your products without the stress and expense of having your own brick and mortar store. You can open a shop AND keep your day job. We've even have had a few vendors who were so happy with how things were going, they quit their day job and became a full time Vendor!

How does Old Time Finds select who becomes a Vendor?We look at all the applications we have on file and make a determination on who we feel would be the best fit for the specific space we have available. We take into account the size and location of the space, the quality and unique nature of the items for sale, the look of each space, and the experience of the Vendor.
