Camden second-hand dealer bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
The City of Camden requires a $500 bond to license a second-hand storekeeper — a dealer who buys and resells used goods. Ours is $275 flat — the $275 minimum on a small fixed-amount bond. The application is five minutes, with no credit check.

$500 bond × 3% = $15, which is below our $275 minimum — so the premium is $275, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A second-hand dealer bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee. Dealers who buy and resell used goods can unknowingly handle stolen property, so the City of Camden wants a financial backstop that you keep proper purchase records, hold goods as required, and follow the city’s second-hand dealer rules.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Camden (the obligee), with the public as the protected parties. If a dealer violates the second-hand ordinance or mishandles goods, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and your Camden license can be suspended — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $500 filing continuous.
