I want to consign, but do not have a lot to consign.
We are asking that all consignors have a minimum of 100 items to sell in order to make it worth your time and effort.  Remember, if you are worried about some of your items not selling; just keep them tagged for our next sale in the spring!

I want to consign, but I am way too busy.
We will do the work for you! Just register with us and let us know in the comment section that you are interested in the “I am way too busy” option. We will email you back with details (date we will need your items, pricing structure will be set by pinstripes & polka dots and instead of a 60%-70% return you will receive a 40%-50% return on your items that sell).  WE WILL ONLY ACCEPT ITEMS FOR THIS OPTION UP TO 30 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EVENT! 

What about seasonal items?
While we will accept items for all seasons for each sale, the items that will sell best and quickly are the current seasonal items.  Remember, this is a great time to sell your Halloween costumes and holiday outfits!

What sizing are you accepting?
We are accepting sizing from PREMIE through teen.

How should I price my items?
Start out by asking yourself a few questions
1) What would I honestly pay for this item if I were a shopper?
2) What was the original price?
We usually suggest that you price your item to SELL.
If you paid $20 for a dress, we suggest you ask for 1/3 of that price ($5-$7) depending on the condition of the piece.

For ideas on how to best price your items, please visit www.itsdeductible.com.

PLEASE NOTE:  Please keep your item’s price in 50 cent or whole dollar increments. 

How can I increase my percentage of take-home money?
Once you agree to consign and tag your own items, you are slotted to receive 60% of your item’s price. By recruiting another friend to consign (they must list you as their “referral friend”) you then add 1 percentage point to your total. You can add percentage points / referral friends up to 10 additional percentage points. You have just gone from 60% to 70%!

Another way to increase your percentage of take home money is to volunteer for a two hour time slot for set up, day-of-sale help or tear down assistance. By volunteering you will earn 5% for every two hours of your time…up to 10%.  As a special incentive to assist us with the presale hours, we will offer you 5% back for 1 hour of volunteer time.

PLEASE NOTE: The maximum of take-home money cannot exceed 70%.
