Question: How many items can I bring?

You may bring up to 300 items.

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 60,000 items, if only 10% of the items have stains that is 6000 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 "No Discount" the item will sell for full price, even on 1/2 price day. We encourage you to mark your items half price. When shoppers see alot of items marked half price it makes then want to shop again on half price day, purchasing things that would not have otherwise bought. Save marking no discount for special items you are having a hard time parting with.

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! Click Here to find out more

Question:Do I have to use barcoded tags?

YES! All tags MUST have barcodes. Without the barcode we do not know who the item belongs to. Incorrectly tagged items are sold at our discretion.

Question:I'm trying to print tags and they don't come up?

You must enter items into your inventory to see your tags. You cannot print blank tags.

Question: Will I get my tags back after the sale?

No, tags stay with the items when they are sold. 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 or you can try craigslist or freecycle. If you can not find them for free we offer NEW wire hangers for sale at cost, 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 or hangers, Do not spray paint your hangers, the paint chips off on the clothing.

Question: How can I make it easier to find my unsold items during pickup?

Leave the kids at home! :) We also recommend marking your hangers in some way, but remember that sometimes hangers do become separated from their items during the sale so do not totally rely on this! Bring a list of your unsold items to make sure you find the things you want to find. Please keep in mind that while we do our best to protect your items there is always a chance that something will not be found, please don't bring anything to the sale that would upset you if it were to go missing,
