Throughout the event, we kindly ask that you remain with your equipment to provide assistance and answer any inquiries from fellow enthusiasts. To make browsing a breeze, please ensure all your items are visibly marked with their corresponding prices.

We will handle the checkout process so that customers may pay with card or cash. After the event, we will process your payout.

Our goal for this event is to support the community and that means having a no-cost entry for attendees and sellers. The only cost for sellers will be a small consignment fee. During the event, customers will have the option to pay with cash or cards, ensuring everyone can make purchases effortlessly. The best part? There's no need for you to worry about any additional costs.

Here's how it works:

Consignment Fee: We will apply a 15% consignment fee to the total sales. This fee covers everything, ensuring there are no hidden expenses or surprises for vendors. See below the breakdown of where your consignment fee goes.

Card Processing (3.5%): A portion of the consignment fee (3.5%) goes towards covering card processing fees. This enables us to provide customers with the convenience of using credit or debit cards for their purchases.

Business Taxes (2%): A further 2% of the consignment fee contributes to covering business taxes, ensuring that all legal obligations are met seamlessly.

Labor and Overhead (9.5%): The remaining 9.5% of the consignment fee is allocated to cover various expenses. This includes compensating the labor required for event setup, management, and breakdown. Additionally, it helps offset overhead costs, materials, and the marketing efforts that make the event a success.

After the event concludes, we'll take care of tallying up the total sales and calculating the consignment fee. Following this, we will process payouts to vendors. Our commitment is to provide transparency and fairness throughout the process, ensuring you receive your earnings promptly and accurately.

This pricing structure not only ensures a professional and well-organized event but also guarantees that you don't incur any additional costs beyond the consignment fee. We appreciate your participation and look forward to a successful Backstage Gear Exchange!
