A Unique Shopping Experience
Treasure Hunters, Pickers, Resellers, Frustrated Shop Owners, Booth Renters, Curators, and Vintage Dealers – you are in the right place!
Sell Your Finds For More – With Less Hassle
You get more time for treasure hunting; Then Is Now handles the rest. We use tech-driven marketing, immersive and interactive display techniques, and professional salesmanship, so your pieces earn what they are truly worth.
Spend More Time Curating And Less Time Selling
We handle styling, pricing, customer interaction, marketing, and fulfillment so you don’t have to be on-site or ship anything.
No Booth Setup or Staffing
We don’t rent booths. All inventory is presented as luxury goods and integrated into rooms styled like those in a home, each in a different popular design style – no setup, teardown, upkeep, or coverage needed.
Boosted Credibility and Brand Awareness
We showcase you and your items with QR codes that can link to your site, story, or socials and we actively promote our vendors as part of our brand narrative. Because we’re based in Frankenmuth, Michigan – a destination visited by millions each year – your work gets seen not only by passionate vintage decor lovers and locals, but also by a steady stream of tourists eager to discover unique, meaningful pieces and places.
You Might Be a Fit If…
- You are based in Michigan and looking for a passive income stream
- You’re tired of hauling your inventory around, selling on-line, marketing, or underpricing your work
- You believe your pieces deserve to be seen and appreciated by a larger audience
- You’re ready to sell to a higher-end, design-focused customer
- You have your own social media (especially videos) we can link to for marketing both businesses and key items on display
Ready to Sell More — and Work Less?
We are accepting a limited number of dealers per category to maintain quality and avoid oversaturation.
