While this may be a matter of individual taste, it is necessary to state our position and request your cooperation when it comes to the quality and condition of items sold at Belleville Market.
For the benefit and profitability of all Merchants, Belleville Market wishes to maintain a reasonable standard of quality of the goods offered by Merchants. This is not a thrift store or a yard sale. For instance, there is a difference between vintage goods and high-quality secondhand goods and thrift.
Please exercise good judgment when placing items in your unit to sell. We want the public to know that our shop has unique and quality goods. Items must be safe for use by the purchaser.
All merchandise is to be "booth ready." "Ready" is defined as no rough pieces that are damaged or dirty. All primitives should be clean and free of wood boring insects. Potential Hazards should be noted on the item or sales tag.
Belleville Market management retains the right to have a Merchant remove any item at management’s sole discretion and judgment.
