Vendor Information

I'm interested in becoming a vendor at your swap meet.

The first thing you should do is obtain a California State Board of Equalization Resale Permit with our address on it.

Our address is:

     Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet
    13963 Alondra Boulevard
    Santa Fe Springs, California 90670

A State Board of Equalization Permit may be obtained at no cost from any State Board of Equalization office.

The nearest one to us is:

    12440 E. Imperial Hwy Suite 201
    Norwalk, California 90650
    (562) 466-1694.

Note: If you are NOT SELLING GOODS and just wish to use your space to advertise your business, pass out flyers, etc., then you do NOT need the State Board of Equalization permit.

Okay, I've got my permit. What's next?

You will need to purchase your space in person. We cannot sell you a space over the phone or via the Internet. Be sure to bring the above mentioned State Board Permit with you, along with a valid, picture ID and proof of automobile insurance on the vehicle you plan on driving on our property.

Spaces go on sale one week in advance. Friday evening spaces first go on sale Friday afternoon, one week prior.

First opportunity to purchase Saturday and Sunday non-reserve spaces is at our Reservation Office, at 7:30 a.m. each Saturday morning.

If you wish, you can purchase your space as late as the day of the event. Just a reminder, we sell the spaces on a first come first serve bases. We highly recommend you purchase your space in advance.

How many different types of vendors do you have?

We only have two types: Non-Reserve Vendors and Reserve Vendors.

What is a Non-Reserve Vendor?

A Non-Reserve is a Vendor who does not have a permanent space. Their spaces vary from week to week. A Non-Reserve vendor purchases spaces off of a Non-Reserve map which changes weekly.

A Non-Reserve Vendor pays just one fee, the vendor admission space fee. Most weekend vendor admission spaces are $25.00 Saturday and $40.00 Sunday.

Non-reserve spaces go on sale just one week in advance. You could not, for example, walk up to our Reservation Office window and purchase a Non-Reserve space for two weeks from now.

Okay, what is a Reserve Vendor?

A Reserve Vendor is a vendor who pays an additional monthly fee called a Monthly Reserve Fee, for the privilege of having the same space each and every week.

We have Reserve Vendors for each of our swap meet days. The Monthly Reserve Fee varies depending upon the day and the time of the year. Click here for a chart of our current Reserve fees.

Reserve Vendors pay a monthly reserve fee in addition to the daily admission fee. If the Reserve Vendor chooses not to sell one day out of the month, they are not obligated to pay that day's admission fee. However, the monthly reserve fee remains the same.

On the 10th or the 20th of each month (depending upon the first letter of your last name), The monthly Reserve fee is due for the upcoming month.

There are many of advantages to being a Reserve Vendor:

        * Same space which makes easy accessibility for customers
        * Guaranteed weekly space
        * Guaranteed location of space
