Consignors: The integrity of our sale has a lot to do with the items we sell. Therefore, all items should be clean and in good, usable condition. Name brands always sell better but they certainly aren't a requirement. Something else regarding consigning: Items (especially clothing) that are older than 2-3 years old, usually do not sell very well...so don't waste your time.
Number of Items?
MAXIMUM: We currently do not have a maximum number of items you can bring. We've had consignors bring in hundreds of items before. However, this is not a yard sale, so please don't think you can just sell all of your "stuff." Check out our "Acceptable Items" listed further down on this page for more info. And remember, just because the item may be in an acceptable category, it still has to meet the standards of the sale (clean, not broken or faded, in working condition, no smoke or pet hair, etc.)
MINIMUM: We do have a minimum requirement for consigning. You must either have: a) at least 10 items, or b) at least a total of $25 worth of items. Please understand that this means you can bring in one large item to consign, as long as it's reasonably priced at $25 or more.
One of the great benefits to consigning, besides making money, is being able to shop early. Therefore, the reason we have a minimum, is to keep someone from consigning a $2.00 pair of shoes just so they can shop early.
UNacceptable Items:
Now here are the items that sometimes try to make it into our sales. However, these are unacceptable...
For the integrity of the sale, we will not accept clothing or equipment that have the following: Any item with holes, missing buttons, missing pieces, stains, dirty smells (including smoke), pet hair, broken parts, no batteries, etc. (These items will be pulled off the floor.)
Also, the following items are prohibited...
No adult sizes except maternity. (Plus sizes are NOT maternity.)
No screen print t-shirts.
