Consignment 101

What is Consignment?
Consignment is a great way to clear out your closet, and earn money for your clothes with a minimum of hassle.  Our store acts as a showroom for your clothes, and when they sell, we split the sale with you 50/50.  All you have to do is bring the items to us and we’ll do the rest.

What types of items do you accept?
We accept women’s clothing, shoes, purses, belts, jewelry, etc. We are sorry we can't accept everything but we must keep the shopping preferences of our customers in mind.
We also accept wedding, maternity, children's and Men's items. We will go through the items and let you know what we think will sell in our shop.  Items we don’t accept can be picked up by you or left to be donated if you chose.

When is it best to drop off items?
We are always looking for great items and you can drop off Wednesday through Saturday during normal store hours.
Who sets the prices?
As we do this for a living, with have developed a good sense for what prices we think items will sell for.  We also reduce items that have been on the sales floor for a while and have not sold.

How do I get paid?
For our out-of-town consignors, we can send checks out if you have earned at least $25.00 within the least 60 days.  You can also be paid in person anytime after the first of the month following the sale of your item(s).

What happens if my items do not sell?
As a consignor, you can retrieve any unsold items whenever you like within the 60 day period.  As a consignor, you need to be on top of when your items are due to expire, and make sure to come pick them up within the 60 day period.  After such time, items may be donated, so be sure to stay on top of this.  We write this date on a copy of the contract we give you.  As we have several thousand consignors, we cannot call and remind you to pick up your items.
