Consignor FAQs
Not at this time. As always, we encourage you to bring your best items so that you sell a high percentage of your things. A consignor who brings 75 great items will do better than a consignor who brings 100 items that are poor quality and marked too high.
Option 1 - Let us print them for you free of charge. You'll pick them up and label your items at the store on one of the Drop Off Days. Your items WILL be guaranteed. (This is most popular.) Option 2 - Let us print them for you free of charge. You'll pick them up (on our set up day/or early label pick-up day) and label your items at home. Then bring your already labeled items on Check In Days. You will need to sign a Release of Guarantee form. Your items will NOT be guaranteed. Option 3 - Print your barcode labels at home using a COLOR PRINTER on BEST print quality. Follow the directions CAREFULLY that appear after you enter your items. Label your items at home.

YES!! We are allowing workers and consignors to bring one person with them to the Pre-Sale to help them shop. You will need to bring your pass to enter. You will also receive a guest pass you can give to a friend & meet them at the Guest Sale later in the evening.
We suggest you set the price at 30-50% of the retail value. Baby Equipment, Furniture and Large Indoor/Outdoor Toys usually sell for more and are in high demand. We have an abundance of 0-6 month sizes, so they must be priced competitively in order to sell. Maternity and Junior clothing are not shopped as heavily, so price these competitively, also. You can use our Pricing Points Guide to help. My #1 pricing tip: Think "What would I pay for this?"
Yes, but you will need to enter your items online in separate batches - one for each sale. Be VERY sure you enter your items for the correct sale.
Place them in a ziploc bag and then seal the ziploc with clear packing tape. This is important!
First, be sure to affix the barcode label to the string tag; do not stick it directly onto the item or the bag. Then attach the string tag to the item and tag inside the bag. Make sure the tag is visible.
We suggest you bring a laundry basket or tote, a large shopping bag, or a stroller. All bags/totes/strollers/carts will need to be tagged at the door. We will also provide large "ikea style" shopping bags for your convenience.
If it meets our "excellence quality" standards, then group it together with one or two more like items. Pin them together on a hanger, or group them in a ziploc bag and put one price for the entire group.
Wrinkled clothes do not sell as well! Please do what is necessary to make your clothes look clean and nice. Remember, the better they look, the better they sell!
Yes, you may enter additional batches until midnight before the last Check In day. Consignors are charged the consignor fee of $9 only one time.
