Question: How
many items can I bring? You may bring 300 items.
You may bring additional items, up to 600 if you pay a second registration
fee.
Question: Some
of my clothing items have only a few tiny stains, is that okay?
No, we will not accept anything with stains,
no matter how small. Please make our job easier by not bringing
stained items. We take in an average of 35,000 items, if only 10%
of the items have stains that is 3500 items that volunteers have
to sort through unnecessarily and if anything is missed by the volunteers,
shoppers have to dig through while shopping. No one wants to buy
a stained item, please don't bring them. It's disappointing to buy
an item only to see later that it is stained.
Question:
Is there a limit on shoes?
We have a 4 pair limit per gender on shoes. The only exception is
if you shoes are brand new. If they are brand new you may bring
more than the limit.
Question: How do I package
a blanket? Please check bedding items carefully
you can package them in a large ziplock bag or you can wrap your
blanket with ribbon, the way you would a gift. We will open up bedding
items at check in so make sure your item is viewable. Placing a
picture of bedding sets on the bag is a great way to show all of
the items included.
Question: Do I have to pick
up my items before half price day if I do not want them to go half
price? NO, your items will remain on the sales
floor for the entire sale. If your items are marked "Discount:
no" the item will sell for full price, even on 1/2 price day.
Question: How
can I attend the Presale? If you are a consignor
you can attend the presale at 4:30pm on Thursday. Volunteers get
to shop the presale at 3pm!! We also have some other duties that
do not require you to be at the sale but earn you a presale pass!

Question:
Do I
have to use barcoded tags? YES! All tags MUST
have barcodes. Without the barcode we may not be able to figure
out who the item belongs to. Incorrectly tagged items are sold at
our discretion.
Question: Will
I get my tags back after the sale? No, we do
not sort out the tags after the sale. You will be able to see your
inventory of items sold online.
Question: Why
do I have to use wire hangers? Wire
hangers take up less room on the rack. This may not seem like a
big deal but when you are dealing with THOUSANDS of clothing items
it can make the difference of a few feet in rack space. Plastic
hangers also tend to break as people are looking through the racks.
Question: Where
can I get wire hangers? Some drycleaners will
give away "recycled" wire hangers for free. If you can
not find them for free at your dry cleaner we offer NEW
wire hangers for sale, a pack of 25 for $3.50. Some dollar stores
carry them and I have also seen them at walmart.
Question: Will
I get my hangers back after the sale? No, we
would love to be able to collect all the wire hangers from sold
items but it is just not possible. We do the best we can to take
hangers off sold items during slow times and any hangers we collect
will be available to consignors during pick up.
Question: Can
I send a friend to pick up my unsold items after the sale? This
is entirely up to you. During pickup consignors will be asked to
find their items on their own. All items will be organized in sizes
and categories. It may take longer for a friend to find your items
because they will have to search by number and not by sight. Consider
making a small distinct marking on your tags.
