Seller Guidelines
- Spaces are roughly 6′×4′. Depending on our setup space, either size can be the front, so prepare accordingly.
- You must be 18 years or older to sell at the SacAnime Swap Meet. Minor children (under 18 years of age), who are under the parental supervision or guardianship of the sellers, may enter the seller's assigned space.
- You must have a valid registration for AT LEAST Friday to participate in the Swap Meet.
- Individuals with SacAnime Industry, Guest, Press, and Dealer badges are prohibited from selling at the Swap Meet.
- Official stores and dealers, as well as their employees, are prohibited from selling at the Swap Meet.
- You may personally only register for one space, and a maximum of two people may share a space.
- You will only be able to sell items at your assigned space. You cannot have someone else register an additional space for you to sell items from, nor can you share another seller's space.
- You or your partner must be present in your assigned space the entire duration of the Swap Meet, or until you have decided to close up for the evening. If both sellers have left a registered space, we will consider the space closed and you will not be allowed to return that evening.

- You must have ALL items with you when you check in, and you will not be permitted to bring in additional goods after you have been escorted to your space at the Swap Meet.
- Shelving, clothing racks, tables, and anything which might block or obscure the view of other vendors, buyers, security, or staff, may be allowed at Swap Meet staff discretion. Do not assume that your item will be approved.
- All participant items for sale will be searched by staff prior to setup, and Swap Meet staff reserves the right to prohibit the sale of items deemed to be in violation of the guidelines. SacAnime makes no guarantee of sales, nor the authenticity of items offered by participants.

California Seller's Permit
By law, any individual selling items in the state of California must have a California Seller's Permit. You must be 18 years of age or older to obtain a California Seller's Permit. The permit is free, and very easy to obtain. You may apply for a permit by mail, or in person at one of the Board of Equalization field offices.
SacAnime requires that all sellers provide a photocopy of their seller's permit during check-in. Additionally, all sellers must keep either the original or a copy at their table as according to state policy. You do not need your permit for registration.
The California Seller's Permit application can be found at the California Board of Equalization website. If you run into problems that cannot be addressed by the Board of Equalization, please contact the SacAnime staff as soon as possible.
