The Hyde Park
Antiques Center is operated as a vendor and consignor based venue for
the display, marketing and sales of collectibles and antiques. This "antique
mall" facility consists of over 9000 sq. feet of gross rentable
area providing the space, opportunity, business support and customer
base that is necessary to foster a comfortable, friendly and classic
environment to do the business of selling antiques and collectibles.
The new owners of this Center have focused their efforts on the business
of operating an antique mall so that the vendors and consignors within
can concentrate their efforts on the business of selling!
Vendors are antique business tenants or serious antique hobbyists
in the true sense... renting rooms, floor space or cases for the
merchandising of their wares on a square footage or area basis. Vendors
pay an established rental amount each month and they setup, design,
merchandise and stock their spaces to satisfy their individual focus
in this antique vending world.
Consignors are random folks with items of vintage value that desire
an outlet for the sale of their treasures. Our outlet provides
a legitimate setting for liquidating and converting those unused
treasures into cash. Surrounded by goods and vendors at our ample
antique facility, consignment items yield unexpected rewards to the
consignors who pay a commission-based fee to the Center in lieu of
rent. Granny's old coffee grinder or the 4 poster bed could not be
in better company for our consignors
Our vendors are, for the most part, also our staff ... and our eyes
and ears on the business. They staff the front desk where a new point-of-sale
computer program tracks vendor sales and remuneration. They also
provide helpful advice and direction around our extensive collections,
but they know that we are assisted in the task of safeguarding the
valuables we sell by an expansive recorded security camera and monitored
alarm systems.
We "greet in" and "check out" the multitude
of customers and dealers who stop in the Center, and we have an ample
and targeted advertising program to get the word out among the antique
trading world that the Hyde Park Antique Center is where they should
stop in the Hudson Valley.
