Sale Prep

  1. There is a non-refundable, non-transferable $15 Consignor’s Fee through PayPal when you register.

  2. We have a minimum requirement for consigning at our sale. Consignors must have a minimum of 20 individual inventory items. Please bring your best items. See below for items we do and don’t accept.

  3. All items are priced in 50¢ increments with a minimum price of $1. This means you may price items for $1, $1.50, $2, $2.50, etc.

  4. We use a color-coded paper system for tagging. Items you wish to donate should have their tags printed on white cardstock. Items you wish to have returned to you – should they go unsold – must be printed on bright yellow cardstock (only items tagged with yellow cardstock will be returned to you).

  5. If you consign and do not volunteer, you will receive 60% of your sale proceeds and a ticket to shop the Preview Sale at 6 PM.

  6. If you consign and volunteer one shift, you will receive 65% of your sale proceeds and a ticket to shop the Preview Sale at 5 PM.

  7. If you consign and volunteer two or more shifts, you will receive 70% of your sale proceeds and a ticket to shop the Preview Sale at 4 PM.

  8. Consignors can choose whether or not to participate in the Discount Sale. In the Consignor Portal, you must select whether you wish to allow your items to be sold for 50% off the tagged price during this time, or whether you are firm on the listed price. If you are donating your unsold items at the conclusion of the sale, we highly recommend participating in the Discount Sale to allow your items to be sold for less.

  9. Consignors must select a drop-off time on Thursday, February 29. The best times usually get taken first, so please sign up for a time as soon as you register to consign in order to guarantee a time that works with your schedule.

  10. Consignor/Volunteer Registration is open until midnight on Sunday, February 25. You can make any changes to your inventory and shifts until then.
