HOW IT WORKS
What is The Antique and Vintage Show?
The main goal is to provide buyers with a quality show authentic antiques and Vintage items, and a place for trusted dealers to sell their goods. THIS IS LIKE A REAL SHOW BUT VIRTUAL! We emphasize quality items. No reproductions, fake, repainted, or broken items will be accepted. The admins will vet each item.
- No repros
- No copies
- Original or old paint
- Vintage up to 1970
- Folk art up to 1980
- No firearms, racist or sexual items
How will it work?
The Antique & Vintage Show will be held on a website. You will be able to select your plan (between 10 and 30 items) two weeks prior to the event by accessing the platform with a link sent to you by email. You will then be able to access the platform and start your booth by using your email and password.
The show will begin when the electronic clock on the home page is replaced by “ENTER THE SHOW HERE”. It will run non-stop until the show closes. Prior to opening, no items will be visible to buyers, and at the end of the show all items will disappear. You manage your own sales and your items. Buyers can contact you directly, by email, messages, or phone, to arrange a purchase. And yes, the platform allows for you to easily share your booth or items on social media.

Booth:
Two weeks before the event, once your plan is selected, you will have access to your Booth/shop and may continue to edit your listings up until, and after, the show opens. Your booth will be unique; with your booth/collage photo, your bio, your contact information, and your own shipping/return policies. Adding items and managing your booth is simple, but just in case, WE WILL BE AVAILABLE TO HELP IF NEED BE!
