Consignor FAQs
There is an overall item limit of 350 barcodes per Consignor ID. We encourage you to bring your best items so that you sell a high percentage of your things. (A consignor who brings 150 great items will do better than a consignor who brings 300 items that are lesser quality and priced too high!) If you have more than 350 items to enter, bundle like items (clothing must be the same size to be bundled together) or register for a second consignor number to enter more items (you will be charged a $10 Consignor Fee on additional accounts.)
You may enter additional batches under your consignor ID until you hit 350 total entries. Remember, the Participation Fee is $10 per consignor ID.
Option 1 - Let us print them for you free of charge. You'll pick them up and label your items at the store on one of the Drop Off Days. (This is most popular.) Option 2 - Let us print them for you free of charge. You'll pick them up (on our set up day) and label your items at home. Then bring your already labeled items on Check In Days. You will need to sign a Release of Guarantee form. Option 3 - Print your barcode labels at home using a COLOR PRINTER. Follow the directions CAREFULLY that appear after you enter your items. Label your items at home. Bring your labelled items on Check In Days. You will need to sign a Release of Guarantee form.
The BUMP is a 1-hour shopping bump on your Consignor shopping time, and can be applied to the Launch, Premier, Platinum or Gold pre-sale tickets! Consignors receive this extra perk by choosing to sell all of their items at 50% off during our half-price days and donating all unsold items at the end of the event.
We strongly suggest that you don't bring your children to the Pre-Sale. Just bring a tape measure and their measurements and enjoy a mom's day out!
We suggest you set the price at 20-35% of the retail value. Baby Equipment, Furniture and Large Indoor/Outdoor Toys usually sell for more and are in high demand. We have an abundance of 0-6 month sizes, so they must be priced competitively in order to sell. Maternity and Junior clothing are not shopped as heavily, so price these competitively, also. You can use our Pricing Points Guide.
Yes, but you will need to create a consignor account with consignor ID for each different sale. All items will need to be entered into the database under the Consignor ID associated with this sale. Be VERY sure you enter your items for the correct sale.
All check-ins require an appointment. In-Store Check-In: This is the best option if you want your items guaranteed. You'll be responsible for bringing your items inside and putting them away in the store after they're quality-checked. Drop & Go: Participate as an All-Star Consignor, meaning all items are marked to go half and be donated if not sold, and you can utilize this FREE drop off service AND you will receive a 1-hour Bump pass to shop even earlier! All items must be sorted by size and gender. We will quality inspect your items and place them out on the floor for you!
Place them in a ziploc bag and then seal the ziploc with clear packing tape. This is important!
First, be sure to affix the barcode label to the string tag; do not stick it directly onto the item or the bag. Then attach the string tag to the item and tag inside the bag. Make sure the tag is visible.
We have a few shopping carts that will be available for shopping. We suggest you bring a laundry basket or tote, a large shopping bag, or a stroller. All large bags will need to be checked at the door.
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 ziploc bag and put one price for the entire group.
Please do what is necessary to make your clothes look clean and nice. Remember, the better they look, the better they sell!
Yes. Most of the furniture displayed in the Furniture Nook is sold in the first two days of our events!
