How To Become A Consignor
|
-You bring in your items to consign in a plastic bin with a lid. Depending on which package you choose, will determine what size of bin you can bring in. Only 1 bin at a time will be accepted.
All clothing must be freshly laundered and folded neatly. Large items can be brought in without a bin. If this is your first visit, you'll choose a consignor package and pay the fee.
-We select items based on quality, style and demand.
-Items stay on the floor for 90-120 days. Unsold items will be marked down to 20% off at 60-90 days from the original entry date and 50% off at 90-120 days from the original entry date.
-You will have your own personal consignor account that you may check by visiting our website. Your website account will show all items that you have brought in, what has sold, what is still available to sell and how much money you have in your account.
