i want to consign!
To consign your items, go through your children’s closet and choose items you would like to sell. We will be accepting items from all seasons at this sale. We will accept a minimum of 100 items, but there is no maximum to the number of pieces you can consign.
As a consignor, you have two options:
-
You can prepare and tag your items yourself to receive a higher take-home percentage from the sale of your items. Please see “step by step consignment” process below.
-
You can let us tag your items for you.
-
Schedule an appointment (see “Contact Us” section) to transfer your items to us.
-
In order to take advantage of this option, we ask that you schedule your appointment no later than 30 days prior to the event.
-
200 items or less will be allowed for this tagging option. We reserve the right to stop accepting appointments as needed, so call us early!
-
In an effort to save everyone time, please inspect your items carefully prior to tagging. Any items that are stained, excessively worn or too outdated will not be accepted. This is a policy that we will stand firmly behind as to ensure the best possible event for both our consignors and shoppers. We have received tremendous feedback from our first sale regarding the quality of the items. Make no mistake…this is no garage sale!

In order to take advantage of this option, please contact us first using the Contact Us tab on the website.

Earn up to 10% more from the sale of your items! Check out the options below.
PLEASE NOTE: The maximum of take-home percentage cannot exceed 70% (or 50% if we tagged your items).
- Refer your friends to consign! For every consignor that you bring into the event, you will earn 1 extra percentage point. We will need to know that the people you referred to us are to be listed under your name in order for you to receive your extra points.
- Be a volunteer! You can earn an additional 5% of your tag’s price for every two hours you volunteer for the sale.
- EXAMPLE: If you recruit 2 friends (1% + 1%) to consign and volunteer for two hours (5%) at the sale, you would earn an additional 7% for a total of 67%. If you recruit 6 friends to consign and volunteer for two hours at the sale, you would earn the maximum of 70%.
Consignors also get 2 passes (one for you and one for a friend) to shop at our pre-sale event. This is when you will get to shop for the best of the best!
Within 2-3 weeks after the event, we will send you a check along with the tags from your sold items. Please remember to keep a copy of your inventory sheet as we will not send this back to you.
pick up and drop off
Consignors can drop off items any time during the drop-off hours. If you have more than 200 pieces to consign, please contact us directly to schedule a private drop-off appointment. When you drop off your items, you will be asked to schedule a time to pick up your unsold items if they are not being donated to the local charity.
Please arrive to pick-up your unsold items during pick-up hours. We will have all unsold items sorted by consignor number for easy pick-up. For security purposes, we will check your items before you exit the building.
It is up to you to ensure your items are picked up. If you are not able to pick up your items, please let the person you send in your place know that we will ask for your full name. Any items not collected at the end of pick-up hours, will automatically be donated to charity. There will be no exceptions.
