Partner With Us
AS OF JULY 15, 2023, PLEASE NOTE—WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY BUYING ESTATES, BUYING FROM PRIVATE SELLERS, OR TAKING CONSIGNMENTS. We are working on liquidating existing inventory and backstock and will be buying again in the fall. WE ARE ALSO WAITLISTED FOR VENDOR SPACES. We would be happy to provide you with information on the application process to be added to our waitlist. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Have you ever browsed the store at Thirteen Pines Trading Co. and thought to yourself, “I have things I could sell here”?
We’d love to have you!
We currently offer three different partnership styles: vendor spaces, consignment and estate buyouts. Each of these ways of selling offers different advantages and meets different needs.
Partnership Styles in a Nutshell:
Vendor Space: For those who buy and sell antiques, vintage and collectibles.
Consignment: For those with only a few items to sell, and/or who don’t want the commitment or hassle of a vendor space, who don’t mind waiting up to 90 days for payment.
Estate Buyouts: For those who have many items to sell, but who would like to sell all at once and receive payment immediately.
Vendor Space
Our vendor spaces are currently full as of September 2022. We have an extensive waitlist. Please contact us by phone or in person to request a vendor application.
Vendor spaces allow you to run your designated area as your own small business. This allows you the most flexibility and control of the three models.
Vendor spaces are designed for those who buy and sell antique, vintage, repurposed or refinished items. These spaces range in size from 80 to 250 square feet and are available to rent on a month-to-month contract at $1.25 per square foot per month, plus 8% sales commission. This rate is comparable to other local vendor malls.
We are non-competitive, meaning that we do not limit where you can sell. We want to see you succeed and hope Thirteen Pines Trading Co. will be just one of the many places you’ll be able to thrive with your small business!
Estate Buyouts (Partial or Complete)
We can purchase a storage unit, a single room or a whole house; however, we only work with estates or large buyouts primarily consisting of antique items. We do not buy out modern estates.
Our estate availability is limited, so please contact us well in advance of your desired cleanout date. We require photos in advance of visiting your site and will require to see items in person prior to providing a quote.
Please contact us to determine if an estate buyout is right for you.
Consignment
Do you have six or fewer antique, vintage or unusual items to sell, but don’t want the commitment of a vendor space? Consignment is perfect for you.
We offer 60-day limited consignment with a 60% (consignor) / 40% (TPTC) commission structure. This means that you, the seller, retain 60% of the final sale price of your item(s). We are only able to offer consignment as space permits.
Consignment functions on a 30-day tiered pricing structure. You will work with us to set the initial price(s) for your items. If your item(s) do not sell after 30 days, the price will decrease by 20%. If your item(s) do not sell after 60 days, you will retain ownership of it them and will be responsible for removing item(s) from the premises.
