Hi.  I have a building nearby that rents spaces to crafters. There are about 35-40 spaces. They run anywhere from 5 to 6 feet wide and are 2 to 4 feet deep. All booths are 6 feet high.  Prices for rental run from $70 to $120 month depending of space size.    You have to sign a 6 month contract but after 6 months it's month by month with 30 day notice to vacate. The owner and manager handle all sales for you, taking out sales tax, handling credit card sales, ect.  They do charge 10% of your sales to cover the credit card sales, statements and paperwork involved. Twice a month they give you a receipt of your sales and a check for any money due you.  You can decorate your space as you like.  All 3 sides are peg board. You space is yours to use as you like. They allow advertising of your custom work and business cards.  All you have to do is fix up your booth and keep your inventory up. This sounds great...no having to set up at craft shows and taking down.  Store is open Mon thru Sat. 10 to 6. It is located in a shopping center. Holidays they are open a few Sundays. Shopping center seems always busy. Has anyone ever tried this type of set up?  Any pros or cons would be appreciated.  Thanks, Lawman Len
