TABLE FEES

Important!  If you have registered your business with the State of Connecticut or will do so prior to the convention, you will receive a discount on your table fees.  The initial price of the permit is a little steep, but, as long as you file your taxes annually with the State (even if you have earned nothing, the online filing webpage is super-quick to go through), it is a one-time fee and the permit is automatically renewed every five years for free and also allows you to sell anywhere in the state, such as at other conventions and craft fairs.

​

DEALER ASSISTANT REGISTRATION PRICES ARE AVAILABLE TO FULL TABLE DEALERS ONLY.

Dealer Space Sizes (all depths are approximate)

The tables we use are 8' wide by 30" deep, thus the table sizes we offer are:

Half-table:  4' wide x 5' deep (from the front of the table to the back of the space)

Full-table:  8' wide x 5' deep (from the front of the table to the back of the space)

​

The ceilings in the Dealers' Den are high in some places.  However, please contact the Dealers' Den Counselor prior to constructing the Seattle Space Needle on your table.  Displays deemed too tall or unstable may be subject to partial or complete deconstruction by the Dealers' Den Counselor.

​

Other Information

To ensure a wider variety of dealers in the Dealers' Den, we offer only a limited amount of multiple-table dealers.  Contact the Dealers' Den Counselor to make your request.

​

All Dealers and Assistants must be fourteen (14) or older as of the first day of the convention.

​

The Dealers' Den Counselor reserves the right to cancel the registration of any dealer for any reason at any time.

SELLING AT CAMP TINY PAWS

​

Option 1:  Register as a business in Connecticut

• Visit http://www.concord-sots.ct.gov/CONCORD/index.jsp and use the Business Startup Tool.

• $100 one-time fee paid to the State.

• Provide the Dealer Director with a digital or scanned copy of your permit by the first day of the convention.

• This option also means a discount on your table fees as long as your sales permit remains valid (i.e. you file your taxes, or lack thereof, with the State every year--takes just a few minutes)!

​

Option 2:  Use the Dealer Cashier to handle all cash and credit/debit transactions

• At the time of payout to the dealer at the end of the convention, the Dealer Cashier will deduct 3% from all sales (i.e. 3 cents per $1 sold, 30 cents per $10, $3 per $100, etc.)

​

Option 3:  Register your business with the State but have the Dealer Cashier handle all credit/debit card transactions.

• Dealer handles cash transactions and sends credit/debit card sales to the Dealer Cashier.

• At the time of payout to the dealer at the end of the convention, the Dealer Cashier will deduct 3% from all credit/debit card sales (i.e. 3 cents per $1 sold, 30 cents per $10, $3 per $100, etc.)

• Provide the Dealer Director with a digital or scanned copy of your permit by the first day of the convention.

​

SELLING ADULT MATERIAL

All adult materials need to be kept covered and in special notebooks marked “For Adults Only” or something similar.  Please also use stickers or Post-Its to cover genitalia and female nipples.  Any dealer allowing minors to view or purchase their adult artwork will be given a first warning.  Any subsequent charges will result in the dealer being asked to pack up their wares and leave the Dealers' Den permanently.

​

Artwork or written work depicting minors (under 18 years of age) or characters depicted as minors in sexual situations are strictly prohibited.

​

Items which have a strictly sexual use or purpose are not allowed for sale in the Dealers' Den.  If you have questions about this, please contact the Dealers' Den Counselor.

​

DEALERS WITH CHILDREN (MINORS)

Children must be supervised at all times and not allowed to run amuck throughout the Dealers' Den and convention space.  The Dealers' Den is not a daycare playroom.  Parents will be responsible for any damages their children cause to other dealers and their merchandise.

​

Dealers do not need to have their child’s Parental Consent form notarized since they, as the parents/guardians, will be physically present at the convention.

​

WAITING LIST

Once we fill the Dealers' Den, we will open a pre-Camp Waiting List on the website.  If notified of a table opening, prospective dealers MUST pay for their space in the time allotted by the Dealers' Den Counselor.  All Waiting Lists (pre-Camp and at Camp) are first-come, first-serve.  If you have any questions about this process, please contact the Dealers' Den Counselor.

​

CANCELLATIONS/REFUNDS/CREDITS

Full refunds (or credit for next year's Camp) on dealer space will be given if the request is received on or before July 15th.  Half refunds (or half credits) will be issued on requests received on or before July 21st.  No refunds or credits will be given after July 21st.
