Vendor Application & Space Assignment Policy

World’s Largest Garage Sale – Warrensburg, NY

This policy outlines the procedures for vendor applications, deposits, payments, space assignments, and reassignment requests for the World’s Largest Garage Sale. It is intended to provide clarity and transparency for all vendors.

Refunds, cancellations, credits, and administrative fees are governed separately by the Vendor Refund & Cancellation Policy, available under the SELL section of this website.

By submitting an application and/or payment, vendors agree to the terms outlined below.

1. Vendor Application Requirement

All vendors must submit a completed vendor application to be considered for participation. Submission of an application does not guarantee space assignment.

Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to space availability, site layout requirements, and organizer discretion.

2. Returning Vendors

Returning vendors are given priority to renew their prior-year location, provided their application and any required deposit or payment are received by the posted returning vendor deadline.

Returning vendor priority applies only to the same location and space size as the prior year and does not guarantee placement in a different location.

3. New Vendors

New vendor applications are reviewed after the returning vendor renewal period closes. Space assignments for new vendors are based on availability and overall event layout needs.

Specific locations or space requests for new vendors cannot be guaranteed.

4. Deposits & Space Holds

A deposit or payment may be required to reserve a vendor space.

For returning vendors, a deposit holds the prior-year location
For new vendors, a deposit reserves placement within the available vendor pool

Deposits indicate intent to participate but do not guarantee a specific space assignment.

5. Space Change & Reassignment Requests

Vendors may request a change in location or space size when submitting their application.

All reassignment requests are reviewed after March 1, once the returning vendor renewal period has closed
Requests are honored only if space is available
Reassignment requests are not guaranteed

Submitting a reassignment request does not affect a vendor’s ability to hold their current space, provided required deadlines are met.

6. Payment Deadlines

Full payment for vendor spaces is due by July 1.

Vendors who do not submit full payment by the deadline risk forfeiture of their reserved space. Any forfeiture, refund eligibility, or administrative fees are governed by the Vendor Refund & Cancellation Policy.

7. Space Assignments & Event Information

Official space assignments, setup instructions, parking information, and event logistics are issued after August 1, once:

Full payment has been received
Any required documentation (including insurance, if applicable) has been submitted

Space assignments are considered final once issued.

8. Organizer Authority

The Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce reserves the right to:

Adjust space layouts as necessary for safety or logistical reasons
Modify assignments due to municipal requirements, emergency access, or site conditions
Make final determinations regarding vendor placement
