Registration Process and Entering Items:
Click the Click to Join! button at the bottom of this page to join our sale and follow the directions for entering your items. Choose the size that best describes your items (non-clothing items can be categorized as “other” or left blank). All items must be priced in increments of $0.50. Also, be sure you have indicated whether or not items may be sold for half-price at the Half-Price Sale and whether or not items will be donated after the sale is over. Then choose the correct SubSale (Fall, Spring, or All) for each item in order to have your items checked in to the appropriate sale. Please print your tags on white or light colored paper or cardstock.
Acceptable Items:
Seasonally appropriate clothing, shoes, and accessories will be accepted in infant sizes through teen sizes and maternity (no other adult sizes). Children’s toys, games, books, dvds (no video tapes), baby equipment (no carseats, used pacifiers, or used bottle nipples), and nursery furniture will also be accepted. All items for the sale must be in good or excellent condition and clean. Clothing with stains, holes, broken zippers, or missing buttons will not be accepted or may be sold “as is” for $0.50 (then free during the half price sale). Clothing must be tagged and hung correctly. Toys must include all parts and have batteries that work. No stuffed animals with the exception of those that are brand new or considered toys (with batteries, etc).
Preparing Items:
All clothing must be washed, wrinkle-free and secured on hangers with the hook facing the left (like a “?”). Tags must be pinned onto the front of clothing with safety pins or tagging gun (through tag or seam) and securely taped onto non-clothing items. Pants must be hung with safety pins attached to the TOP of wire hangers (or using hangers with clips) - see image below. Shoes, accessories or items with multiple parts must be attached with zip ties or placed in zippered bags with the tag taped on the outside. Tags can be taped onto toys and other items that don’t require bags.
Note: if a tag falls off during the sale, we will do our best to find the item in the system. Items missing tags with no match in the system will be kept in the front of the room behind checkout for you to check at pick up time. Any items not picked up will be considered donations.
Volunteering and Payment:
Consignors who volunteer and fulfill all obligations will receive 80% of their sales. Consignors who do not volunteer will receive 65% of their sales. A $10 consignor fee will be deducted from each consignor. Checks over $10 will be mailed within 2-3 weeks to the address listed on your My Consignment Sale online account and it is the consignor’s responsibility to make sure that information is correct.
