Get Your Work In The Tent
The Flip House is a merch collective for circus artists, craftspeople, and assorted fine troublemakers. You make it. We sell it — online and out of our booth on the festival midway.
Your name stays on your work. That's not a courtesy. That's the whole business.
The deal, up front
You keep 80%
And you keep owning your work until the day it sells. It sits in your studio, yours, right up until somebody buys it. We're just the loudest booth on the midway.

Founding Vendor — our first twenty makers keep 80% for a full year. After that it moves to 70/30, and we'll tell you sixty days before it does. No surprises. You'll have known since we shook hands.
Who we're looking for
Clown gear. Circus rigging. Festival wear. Rave kit. Leather, brass, bone, and glitter. Patches, pins, hats, holsters. Props, masks, one-of-one creatures. Gags that shouldn't work and do.
Especially if you've never sold online. If your whole operation is a folding table, a Square reader, and an Instagram you post to when you remember — you're exactly who we built this for.
You don't need a website. You don't need a tax license. You don't need product photos. You need to make something good and put it in a box when it sells.
We're not a dropshipper. We're not printing your design in a warehouse overseas and stamping our name on it. We're not going to bury you behind forty knockoffs of your own idea.
Here's this. From this person.
How it goes
- Reach out. Tell us what you make. We read every one.
- We talk. Fifteen minutes, straight answer inside a week.
- One page. A plain-English agreement. No lock-in, 30 days out whenever you want.
- We list it. Photos, copy, your name, your story.
- It sells. You ship it. You get paid.
The questions everybody asks
Do I have to sell only through you?
No. Sell anywhere you like — your own shop, Etsy, your booth, out of a duffel bag. We'd never ask for exclusivity.
When do I get paid?
The 1st of the month, two months after the month it sold. Sold in June, paid August 1st. The wait is so the return window closes first — that way we never have to come back and ask you for money you've already spent.
What if my stuff doesn't sell?
Then it doesn't sell, and it costs you nothing. We're not going to charge you rent on a shelf.
I don't have good photos.
Most people don't. We shoot product for our makers — $30 flat, or free advice on doing it yourself with a phone and a window. Never a requirement.
I make everything to order.
Fine. Tell us your real turnaround and we'll put it on the listing. An honest two weeks beats a broken three days.
Some of my stuff is fan art.
Then that piece can't come in the shop — someone else's characters or logos put us both in the path of a lawyer. It's not a rejection, it's just that one piece. Bring the rest.
Do you buy inventory?
Not yet. Everything's consignment right now — you keep it, you ship it. If something moves at the booth, we'll talk about buying a case.
We run the blackjack table two booths down. We've been hauling gear through the dust for years. We're one of you — that's the entire reason this exists, and it's the reason it'll work.
