Tail-Gaters

You may sell all of that old Ham gear you don’t use for FREE at the Palm Springs Hamfest. Please, only Ham Radio related gear. You may set up Saturday beginning at 7:00 a.m. There is no fee unless you are RV’ing overnight. To avoid the overnight fee you must be off property by 8 p.m. You’ll sell your equipment from or next to your RV or vehicle on a Tarmac location assigned to you. If you wish to sell your “stuff” inside, please see the heading above: “Flea Market/Swap meet.”

For all RV’ing info see these rules.

Collecting Sales Tax

We are using the form 410d as our tailgater registration form. All the form requires is that you fill out your contact info and either A) provide us your Sellers permit # or B) self designate yourself as an Occasional Seller. If Possible please bring this form already filled out.

Occasional sellers are “usually people who are not required to hold a seller’s permit because they will not be making a series of qualifying sales. A person who has cleared their garage of used items accumulated for their own use and who sells only those items would usually qualify as an occasional seller, provided they make sales no more than twice in a 12-month period…..”  If you are interested in learning more about the regulations that we have to follow please visit State of California Board of Equalization Publication 111.

The Sales Tax rate in the City of Palm Springs is 9%.
