Sand Point Antique & Design Market is close at hand. Come join us Octover 10th. Early buyers 8 am to 10 $10.  General Admission 10 am to 4 pm $6.  $5 with a printout of this page or postcard (10 am to 4 pm only). 

     Anyone can sell at Sand Point. We are constintly finding new dealers to add to our list of unusual and unexpected displays.

     A number of collectors are starting to display and sell with us. This is good for a number or reasons. This allows buyers who want to cull their collections but, do not want to wholesale their treasures. Setting up at Sand Point allows collectors to sell their objects at a retail, or near retail prices. Not only does this give a selling advantage to collectors but this exposes collectors to dealers and other collectors. Sometimes when collector meets collector a nice exchange of objects can happen through trades.

     Sand Point has become one of the most unusual antique selling enviornments on the West Coast. As we like to say:

SOPHISTICATED and WHIMISCAL

     Antique garden furniture and other art, old and loved linens, French Country, planters, primitives, Native American art, used and unabused furniture, estate and consume jewelry. Find the unpredictable and the
unexpected.

     Our Market is part design, part therapy and … pure pleasure. You are going to find an ambush of delights, Collectiblities, Inconceivabilities and PERHAPS — even romance. It could happen!

Sand Point Antique & Design Market Sunday, August 29th. 2010 A big winner.

What'a weekend. Anita and I started running the Sand Point Market in 2005. We have consistently held 6 shows a year; this show and sale was the best show ever.

Let me put it a different way -- 30 shows in 5 years and this was the best show -- ever. In the middle of a recession!
Due to a scheduling conflict we had to share part of Hangar 30 with the International Stunt School. Now this was fun; watching all of these young folks swinging, jumping, fighting and all manner of stuff associated with movie or TV shows.
We are now accepting reservations for the October 10th show. $130 for a 10 ft x 12 or 11 ft booth + $5 for the City of Seattle license. You do not need to be a dealer to sell at Sand Point. If you are culling your collection or just have "too much stuff" you can set up. Don't know how to price your "stuff?" We can help. Certainly, there are many dealers at the show who can also help you price your objects.
How much can you make? Well, on the 29th we had people who sold $2,000, $3,000, $4,000 and more. I heard more than one dealer boast of selling more than $5,000 and two exceeded $10,000. Not bad for a one day antique sale.
More than a few buyers said that this was the best show for bargains. There were two notable designers who spent more than $5,000 each.

Thanks to everyone, buyers and sellers all, you made this possible.  Thank you again and we will see you October 10th.

Hi Dennis, I attended the August 29th show, "WOW", keep it going!

Last Sunday's Sand Point Market was indeed "WOW."  Record sales for nearly everyone.  "Fantastic buys" is how one person put it.  She was not talking about money, just objects.

I was collecting money when I heard at least three designers call other designers and demand they get to the Market.  One caller said: "This is the best antique sale 'ever'."  And!  It was!
