The VCF East 4.0 Marketplace
Saturday, June 9th and Sunday, June 10th
InfoAge Learning Center
Wall Township, New Jersey
The Vintage Computer Festival features the Vintage Computer Marketplace, the premier venue for selling your old or antique computers and computer related equipment. The Vintage Computer Festival strives to maintain a specific vending climate where only vintage computer items are allowed for sale. The following items are acceptable for vending at the VCF:
- Computers or computer systems and terminals that are at least 15 years old
- Peripherals and software for computers that are at least 15 years old
- Parts including cases, racks, power supplies, electronic components, etc. for computers at least 15 years old
- Data storage media suitable for computers at least 15 years old
- Manuals, books, magazines and other literature for computers at least 15 years old
- Video game systems that are at least 15 years old
- Video game carthridges, cassettes, diskettes, etc. for video game systems that are at least 15 years old
The general criteria for products is that they must be computer or video game related items which were manufactured at least 15 years ago. Please note that this does not generally include generic x86 personal computers and related equipment. The VCF Marketplace is intended primarily for "vintage" (i.e. collectable) computers. If you are unsure about items you wish to sell at the VCF Marketplace, please inquire.

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. The building will be locked to all but VCF staff overnight.
Please include in your description the approximate amount of table or floor space you will need for your exhibit. The standard booth size will be approximately 8ft. by 8ft. Fees are as follows: $15 for paid members of MARCH; $25 for non-members. Discounts may be available for people who reserve multiple booths. Spaces are very limited and are assigned on a first come, first served basis, so we suggest you make your reservations as far in advance as possible.
All sellers are responsible for obtaining any necessary permits from the State of New Jersey.
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: Come to the first day of the VCF 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 and handle all the negotiating. You come back at the end of the day on the last day of the VCF. If your item was sold, we give you your money minus the 15% consignment fee. If it didn't sell, you take your item back and there is no further obligation.
For your convenience, you can fill out the consignment information form in advance of the event. Download and print the form below, fill in the appropriate spaces, and bring the form with you to the VCF.
