Basic Guidelines

[Home] [Basic Guidelines]

 

We accept new and gently used merchandise based on proven sale-ability.  The deys to profitable consignment sales are quality control, presentation and price.  While we can’t guarantee all your goods will be accepted or sold, the majority will if you follow these simple guidelines.

• Get your stuff together.
• Read our simple ‘Consignment Information’ sheet for details on your consignment choices.
• Pick up or download from our web site a copy of our listing sheet
• Complete your listing sheet.  Itemize your stuff.
• Bring your consignment and listing sheet to our store between 10:30 am and 4:30 pm.
• It’s that simple!

Quality Control

Hard Goods:  All hard goods must be clean, complete, and in good order.
Please dust, wipe down and clean all cushions. Check for dents, chips, missing pieces or cracks. ODOR FREE. We may not be able to accept items that have been housed in a smoking or pet environment.

Presentation

As you prepare your items to bring in, ask yourself if you would buy it in it’s current condition. Consider the quality and condition of the accessories, furniture and stuff you have seen so well-displayed on our sales floor.  That is one of the first ways to determine if your items will be accepted and sold!

Price

The objective of consigning is to sell as many items as possible for the best possible price. Who determines the price? Ultimately, it’s our customers. The best price is the most customers are willing to pay for a previously owned item.  If price is a concern we urge you to take advantage of our consignor pricing option.  If you opt to have us price your stuff we do so based on our experience of what our customers will pay, on a regular basis, for the same or similar goods.  A general guideline does not apply to antiques, collectibles or rare and unusual items.  If you price your own goods you may wish to stop in to reduce any items not sold after 2 weeks of the sales floor or authorize us to accept discounts on your behalf.

‘No Thank You’ (NTY) Items

It is important for consignors to understand that we are not a thrift store.  We are not willing to attempt to help you sell unsold yard and garage sale merchandise. WE are unable to accept certain items for health, safety and insurance items. Some items we choose not to accept as our experience has proven they don’t sell well on a consistent basis.

We retain the right to decline items based on current inventory levels, your asking price, our past experience or item condition and to display them in our store as we think best. This is our business.  We choose not to engage in arguments over the acceptability of items we choose not to help you sell.
