How much does it cost to rent a booth in an antique mall?

Booth rent depends on the location of the mall, the size of the space, foot traffic, and whether it is a booth, a wall space, or a locked glass case. Many malls charge a monthly rent plus a small commission on sales or a credit card processing fee.

Some malls offer lower rent if dealers work a few shifts each month, and some charge extra for prime spots near the entrance or checkout. There may be a deposit, a minimum lease term, or rules on what you can sell.

Before signing, ask about all fees, how sales are tracked, when you are paid, and what happens if items are stolen or damaged. Talk to current dealers if you can, and look at how busy the mall is on different days of the week.
