THE VAULT COLLECTIVE, VT Dealer Application
Thanks for your interest! We are a full house, and don't have space open up very often, but when it does we sift through these applications and pick our newbie from the pile. Please check out the details below, and if you are still interested, fill out the form. It's the best way to get your name in the queue for the next opening, since they go quick.

The Space
Vault Booths are approximately 12x6 and fit about 4 garment racks plus a small display table or rack. We tell new dealers to prepare 300-400 pieces. All dealers are responsible for their own signage, hangers, tags, fixtures and displays. Dealers outfit their booths to their own brand's standards, and the more cohesive your booth's aesthetic is, the better your items will sell. We encourage our dealers to treat their booth's decor as if it were their own boutique.

Your Inventory
We are a Vintage shop exclusively, and don't accept sellers of contemporary secondhand clothing, or even the loveliest of handmade goods. We're looking for sellers of highly curated, authentic vintage clothing who will fill a niche of their own amongst the rest of our collective.  When it is busy, our Dealers regularly sell 150-300 or more pieces of Vintage clothing per month, so you will need to be prepared to keep up with that volume of buying for your booth as your items sell, or become seasonally inappropriate.

If you are an online superseller, we're built for you. Our cloud-based POS system notifies you via email when an item sells so you can immediately remove it from any cross-posted listings on etsy, depop, poshmark etc. You also can log-in from anywhere, on any device, to keep an eye on your earnings or add new items to your booth's inventory.

Fees/Contract
Heads up. You don't pay us, we pay you! The Vault just keeps a portion of the sales revenue it takes in, to cover its expenses. Like a consignment store we pay dealers out monthly for their sold items, less two deductions: a monthly flat fee of $650 as well as a percentage fee of 28%. Our dealers prefer this split rather than a hefty flat fee, because on slower months the booth fees will be less, and because it gives a leg-up to our more novice dealers as they grow. 

This means the only money you will likely ever pay us is the deposit to secure the booth before you move in, which serves as your first month's flat fee. We discount the first month's flat fee to half-off to make it easier to move in, so it is only $325 that is due upon the signing of your contract. Contracts are a month to month agreement simply requiring 30 days notice (by the 1st of the month) to move out. 

Work Requirement 
Each dealer is also required to work a sales shift at the store every-other week.  This is super valuable time for you. It's your chance to update your booth, see who your customers are and how they are interacting with your items, and you will learn tons from what you see happening in the other dealer's booths too! Dealers are scheduled on a regular repeating shift, so you know your workdays many months in advance, which makes it easy to trade days with another dealer when something comes up.

We look forward to hearing from you soon!
