Help us support you: New memberships from The Vintage Seeker offer perks for buyers who back our work, as well as tools for vendors to get more visibility
If you’ve been around these parts a while, you already know: this platform isn’t just about nostalgia and sharing nice-looking things.
It’s about creating understanding between buyers and vendors and opportunities to showcase small, indie businesses in the vintage, antiques and secondhand space.
Since launching in 2021, we’ve been working to build something the resale world has long needed: a media and community platform that celebrates the economic, environmental and emotional value of secondhand, and that uplifts the people who make it all happen.
From editorial content and market analysis, to an independent directory and a steady calendar of industry events, to a private community for resellers and an active social media community, we’ve grown into a resource hub for secondhand fans and vendors alike.
You can access those resources easier now, all in one place — just hit our newly freshened up homepage to not only read the latest content on our site, but also to get quick access to some of our products and services.
Now, we’re thrilled to introduce a way for you to support this work and get something extra in return…we’ve expanded our membership program!
Whether you’re a passionate thrifter, an indie vendor, a market organizer or a resale service provider, there’s a membership stream for you.
If you’re a thrifter, buyer or supporter of the secondhand economy, support us so we can keep bringing you the best insights from indie vintage and secondhand dealers!

A Fan membership is the easiest way to support our indie publishing venture.
If you sell vintage, secondhand or antique goods or offer a related service, you can join as an Insider, Champion or Patron member for exclusive content, tools and visibility that help grow your business.
That includes upgraded directory listings, business spotlights, advertising perks, access to community resources, a mention on our Recognition Wall and more.
Here’s a quick look at what vendor-members can expect (see full breakdown here):

Free plans are also available for those who’d like to dip a toe into our world. Seeker (for consumers) and Starter (for vendors) tiers offer newsletter access, downloadable tip sheets and select resources.
At The Vintage Seeker, we believe in creating common ground between buyers and sellers. There’s more to buying and selling secondhand than a simple transaction.
Through thoughtful storytelling, educational content and community-building tools, our goal is to increase understanding and opportunity in the resale space. And we do it all independently.
That independence is possible because of our supporters.
Membership fees directly fund the production of articles, guides, events and tools that are shared across the secondhand sector. They help maintain our growing directory. They support our ability to hire contributors. They allow us to build features that benefit everyone in the resale community, not just our members.
