Happily, my favorite one was also the most reasonably priced - so I am taking the plunge!

The inside space measures about 4.5' wide and 6' deep, so I am going to have two tall bookshelves (2' wide, 9" deep, 5' tall) on the right hand side and two short bookshelves (2' wide, 9' deep, 2.5' tall) on the back wall so I can hang stuff up above them.
The outside space measures about 6' wide and 3.5' deep, so I am getting two large shelves (36" wide, 18" deep, 6' tall!) for that space.
Rent is $115 a month, with a 7% commission. They are open 7 days a week except during the winter months, when they close on Wednesdays (rent is only $100 a month during that time to compensate). Their rent was the lowest I found, and their commission is right in line with what the other malls in the area are charging.
I also really like the owners - Chelsea and Max. I first found Chelsea back when I hung out on Live Journal a lot, she keeps a blog there.
Of course I will be writing about the entire adventure here on the blog - so if you have ever wondered what it would be like to sell in an antique mall, stay tuned - I'll be covering the good, the bad, and the ugly from start to finish! ;)

Best of luck, Mitzi!
This should really make for some interesting and original blog posts. Will be very curious to hear how it goes!
I don't know anything about the pricing on such venues, but that seems to be a very reasonable fee to entry.
Good luck,
Cliff
How exciting! We are hoping to make a weekend trip to that area late spring/ summer, so will definitely add the barn to our agenda!
