Because of the specific audience that the Vintage Computer Festival
is targeting, this is a prime venue for marketing old computers, peripherals,
manuals and software that are sitting in closets and back rooms collecting
dust. The venue is indoors with ample lighting and each vendor space
features an electrical hook-up. Security personnel are present
during the off-hours of the event to insure against theft of or damage to
inventory items.
Each space at the Vintage Computer Festival Marketplace measures 10' x 10'
and features an electrical outlet. Booth rental is $60.00 for the
weekend until July 15th, and $85.00 after that. 8' tables are available
for rent at an additional $10 per day; chairs will be provided at no extra
cost. Spaces are limited and are assigned on a first come, first served
basis, so we suggest you make your reservations as far in advance as
possible. Please refer to the vending booth layout below when making a
reservation.
Consignment Sales
The VCF also maintains a consignment selling area. If you have
something to sell that doesn't warrant renting an entire booth to do so,
let the VCF sell it for you! There's no charge if it doesn't sell,
but if it does we take 15% of the sale as a fee and the rest goes to you.
There's no easier way to sell your old computer stuff.
Here's how it works: On Saturday, July 28, come to the Vintage
Computer Festival with your items and ask for the consignment area.
From there you will fill out a simple form describing what you're selling
and how much you want for it.
We'll then put it out for sale. All you need to do is come back
at the end of the day (5:00pm) on Sunday, July 29. If your item was
sold, we give you your money minus a 15% consignment fee. If it didn't
sell, you take your item back and there is no further obligation.
For more information, send e-mail to consignment@vintage.org.
Seller's Permit
Vendors should check with applicable Massachusetts State law to
determine if they are required to have a Seller's Permit on hand in order
to sell items at the Vintage Computer Festival. It is your
responsibility to determine if you are required to have a Seller's Permit to
sell at the VCF. The VCF cannot assist you with this.
You may find information on collecting sales tax in the state of
Massachusetts at the Masschusetts Department of Revenue
website. The following links will take you directly to information
regarding seller's permits:
Hobbyists who only sell occasionally are generally exempt from having to collect any sales tax.
Check page 12 of the Guide to Sales and Use Tax (requires PDF viewer) under "Casual and Isolated Sales" to determine if you are exempt.
