Frequently Asked Questions:
How should I price my items?
We suggest you set the price at 30% of the retail value. Baby Equipment, Furniture and Large Indoor/Outdoor Toys usually sell for more and are in high demand.
When I price items in a ziploc bag, how do I attach the price tag? First, be sure to stick the bar code label to the price tag. Do not stick it directly onto the bag. Then attach the price tag securely and place both item and tag inside the ziploc bag. Please make sure the price tag is visible.
How do I carry my clothes while I am shopping?
We suggest you bring a laundry basket with your name on it. Large bags will need to be checked at the door.
What if my item is not worth your minimum price guideline of $2.00? 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 ziplock bag and put one price for the entire group.
Should I iron my clothes?
Wrinkled clothes do not sell! We will likely send them home to you if they are extremely wrinkled. Please do what is necessary to make your clothes look clean and nice. Remember, the better they look, the more likely they are to sell!
Do you have shopping carts? No, unfortunately, since this is only a semi-annual sale, storing shopping carts is simply not practical. The best way to be prepared is to bring a laundry basket with a belt or rope attached to it, that you can drag behind you. The deals can be overwhelming and you don't want to miss something because you can't hold anything else in your arms.
Is there any other way to tag my items, besides online?
No, unfortunately, there's not. We require that all items are tagged online, then printed out because it makes the entire process MUCH easier, quicker and smoother. By having an online inventory, we can have the smoothest check-in process for our consignors available. Plus, by having everything barcoded and inventoried online it makes the check-out process for our buyers MUCH quicker! Plus (and this may be the biggest to many of you), it makes the reconciliation process at the end of the sale much faster, which means you receive your checks in the shortest amount of time possible.
What fees are involved in consigning?
There are absolutely NO upfront costs to you - at all! The only expenses you have, will come out of your consignor check at the end of the sale. You receive 65%-70% of your sales, minus a small consignor fee of $10 which will be taken out of your commissions check after the sale. If you don't earn at least $10 in sales, we will NOT charge you a consignor fee. For details on how to get the most commission you can, visit the Incentives section of the Sell Your Stuff page.
