Good afternoon,
I'm wanting to hold a five day event at a local hotel convention room. Where we buy and evaluate items from estates
such as antiques, collectibles, gold & silver jewelry, coins, bullion, vintage toys, watches, sport memorabilia, guitars,
some art and home decor. The event is free and open to the public. There will be no food, beverages or alcohol served.
The convention room will be held indoors that is already zoned for meetings and indoor events and will have a hotel
convention room contract allowing us to be there only for 5 days. I will only have two employees at this location. Within
the five event days, we see an average of 20 people per day with a total of 100 people per week with a higher median
age of 73. If our guest does not sell the items they brought in there is no charge for the evaluation. We do not sell any
items and have no revenue being generated; we only purchase items for collectors. We are a Florida company that is
registered in your state to transact business with a registered agent. Please see all business/state information in the
attachments below.
What requirements (if any) would you need from us since we have no revenue being generated in the city, county or
state and are registered in your state to do business and will be there for 5 days?
Please keep in mind while reviewing us, that most cities /counties don’t require anything for us to make purchases.
For the 5 days that we will be in town, we do not sell anything and have free admission with no revenue being
generated in the city, county or state. (We are not a pawnbroker, vendor, exhibition, trade show, peddler or transient
merchant since we typically do not meet the definitions; because we do not sell anything.) We are a private collectors
association.
Proposed dates and location: 4/4/23 to 4/8/23 (Pending on hotel convention room availability, dates and location can
change) Location has not been chosen due to pending permit/license requirements, but will be held in your city or
county limits. Please advise as if we chose a location in your jurisdiction. We did send this same email to your local city,
police, county and sheriff's offices to check for all requirements.
